Luiza Cruz | Yoga Teacher + Breath Coach
I'm a yoga teacher and breath coach, continually discovering that the true impact of yoga lies not just on the mat, but in how it shapes life beyond it. Like many, yoga found me when I needed it most, marking the beginning of a transformative healing journey.
Trained in Daoist Flow Yoga (230 hrs) by Jean Hall and Mimi Kuo-Deemer at Triyoga London, and as a certified Breath Coach through Lucas Rockwood’s program in Barcelona, I blend vinyasa flow, pranayama, and somatic movement in my classes.
My aim is to support students through life’s ups and downs with more ease, resilience, and humour. My teaching is inspired by mentors like Jean Hall, Pema Chödrön, Gabor Maté, and shaped deeply by my own lived experience—the highs, lows, and everything in between.
With a background in graphic design, creativity and exploration remain at the core of my practice. I believe it’s through trying, failing, and experimenting that we uncover our truest potential.
