Carolina
Co-Founder & Manager, Yoga Teacher
A flowy wanderer that found in surfing the courage to explore the world and its waters. Along her journeys, Carolina realized the deep connection Yoga has with “dancing in the waves” of the Ocean — and of Life itself. After traveling and studying in Asia, she returns to her home-land to co-found Surf&Yoga in her favorite piece of the country: Bahia.
Beyond yoga and surfing, Carolina is passionate about healing therapies and artistic practices – which she sees as beautiful pathways to self-discovery and wellbeing. She will be warmly welcoming you in Brazil — in the Ocean, in the Shala, or somewhere out in nature.
