The teachers

Cristiano Pestana

His journey in yoga began in 2010, marked by overcoming hernias and disc troubles through dedicated practice. In 2015, he started as a yoga teacher and completed his Teacher Training at Manu Yoga School in 2018. That year, he founded Cristiano Yoga School, where he began his mission to spread the teachings of Ashtanga Yoga.

He learned from notable teachers such as Nancy Gilgoff, Mark Robberds, Deepika Mehta, Gonçalo Alcântara, Bianca Oliveira, Nuno Vintém, and more recently, Alyson Simeone and Simon Loughlin, with whom he completed an additional 200 hours of Teacher Training.

His approach harmonises scientific precision with holistic well-being. He leverages a diverse background in sports and martial arts to foster a deep mind-body-spirit connection among his students and unlock the transformative potential
of Ashtanga Yoga.
