YASMINA ESPELOSIN
After taking the selectivity test, I felt unmotivated with my studies since I had been working for many years in television and missed a lot of classes.
So I decided to study dance. I had never worked on my body before and I tried hard to learn and feel accomplished and worked on. That great physical change made me increase my self-esteem and realize that, with passion and love, anything is possible. A dance teacher introduced me to yoga and I knew that the practice would accompany me for the rest of my life.
I worked for 8 years at the Aula de So music school in Sant Cugat. Directing groups, organizing shows and creating choreography. With the pride of having been a teacher of very talented children like Carmen de Leon, Nick Maylo, Martina Burón, Júlia Serrasolses or Valèria Sorolla.
While I was dedicating myself to this work, I started practicing Ashtanga Yoga with Eva Oller and Sarah Florance. Shortly later, I received solid training as an assistant and teacher thanks to the pedagogical work of Elena Figarola, director of the "Ashtanga Yoga Shala" center in Barcelona and direct disciple of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Also thanks to her husband Jordi Sardà who inspired me with his example, always dedicated to practice and teaching. After a few years of learning, Jordi fell ill and I had to replace him in classes, assuming that great responsibility. The years of learning in Elena's shala were beautiful and I will always carry them in my heart.
Covid changed the course of life and together with Pol I created our online studio that would ultimately end up being the project for our own shala.
My best training has been my own regular practice for 10 years and daily teaching since I was 24 years old. But I have also studied therapeutic yoga at the Tech University of Technology and obtained my official qualification (Certificat d'instrucció en yoga) through the Acredita't program of the Generalitat. Through this program, I have received comprehensive yoga training taught by Lídia Serra. I continue to train regularly with teachers who inspire me like Petri Raisanen.
