Dharma Yoga Teacher - Kirtan Leader
Naomi Winnie
Naomi is originally from Belgium and graduated in 2013 in Tourism Management. After a year of Erasmus in Barcelona, where she learned Spanish, she hasn't stopped travelling, deepening her knowledge of other cultures by living in various countries including Greece, Tunisia, the Dominican Republic and Mexico. In 2020 she took her first teacher training course in Hatha-Raja Yoga with Adriana Cabrera and Gerson, disciples of Sri Dharma Mittra, later deepening the study of Yoga philosophy. The yoga practice for her goes beyond physical postures and she considers yoga as a tool to live life more happily, with love and compassion, necessary to be able to serve through Karma Yoga. As Sri Dharma Mittra says: "Everything is perfect, everything is as it should be."
Zen Yoga Flow & Sound
Samuel Poma
Samuel has always cultivated a deep interest in personal growth and inner awareness. He approaches yoga through a personal quest for balance between body, mind, and spirit. With over 1,800 hours of Yoga Alliance-certified training in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Kundalini, and Arogya Yoga, and more than 300 hours of study in Eastern philosophies (Yoga and Zen Buddhism), meditation, a Master in Functional Training, and insights into his own styles of expertise, he enthusiastically, passionately, and creatively pursues a profound and hybrid vision of yoga practice. He has taught in Sweden and Italy, bringing yoga to diverse contexts to promote well-being and awareness. He is currently continuing his studies in Eastern philosophies and meditation exploring the connection between mobility, strength, and body control. At the same time, his studies in music composition have led him to integrate sound into his methodology, using Nada Yoga and sound practice as tools for inner exploration. Her practice is based on direct experience and the creation of spaces that foster introspection and growth, using yoga as a tool and path to reconnect with one's most authentic essence, develop resilience, and harmonize body, mind, and inner energy.
