my story
Born to a family of fisherpeople on the coastline of Porto, Portugal, my earliest memories are woven with the rhythm and wisdom of the sea.
From my earliest years, I've been blessed with a profound connection to the unseen realms, naturally attuned to spiritual dimensions that extend beyond our physical world. This sensitivity has always been part of who I am. As a highly empathic being, this gift allows me to deeply tune into others' energetic fields, helping guide them through their own transformational journeys.
My path led me across the globe for five years, deepening my practice and understanding of Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha, and Kundalini traditions, while also immersing myself in the sacred teachings of Tantra.
Look upon a woman as a goddess
whose special energy she is,
and honour her in that state.
-Uttara Tantra This journey extends far beyond physical practice – it's a testament to the profound connection between earth and cosmos, between body and spirit. As a fire keeper within the Mayan Cosmovision and Traditions, I carry these ancient wisdom teachings forward with deep respect and dedication.
At Porto Yoga Shala, I've created more than just a studio; it's a sanctuary where souls can breathe freely and hearts can open fully. Here, we cultivate a community of truth-seekers, weaving together the threads of authentic connection and sacred sisterhood.
My work bridges the seen and unseen realms through quantum healing, light code activation, and planetary gridwork. Through light language transmissions and activations, I facilitate deep spiritual awakening that helps illuminate dormant aspects of consciousness. My ancestral bond with water has led me to study sacred water knowledge under Veda Austin, and I now hold profound water ceremonies, honoring the life-giving force that connects all beings.
I offer both intimate private retreats and larger gatherings that journey across the globe's sacred sites. These transformative experiences guide others in reconnecting with their natural essence through yoga, ceremony, ritual, embodiment, arts, somatics, and meditative practices. Each gathering creates a space for deep healing, transformation, and reconnection to the sacred elements that sustain us.
Through one-on-one mentorship, I specialise in guiding women through feminine initiations, helping them awaken and embrace their sacred feminine power. Together, we'll explore the depths of your being, awakening the divine wisdom that has always lived within you.
I stand in deep reverence to the ancestral wisdom keepers of these lands and waters. Their timeless connection to Mother Earth continues to inspire and guide my work as I share these sacred practices across different territories and cultures.
One sacred breath at a time,
Sandy
