The

Teachers

Viviane is from a peaceful mountain town in Minas Gerais, Brazil, where she discovered her love for movement through dance at age six.

Believing the body is the temple of the soul, she earned a degree in Physical Education and dedicated herself to helping children grow through movement and sports. Her journey took her through teaching in schools, dance studios, gyms, and with seniors.

Later, she was drawn to the wisdom of yoga, which propelled her to study at the world-renowned Indian school of yoga Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram, where she became a Yoga Teacher in 2001 and later a Yoga Therapist. There, she discovered the transformative power of breathing.

Since 2006, Viviane has been living in Rome with her husband and two children. She guides students on healing journeys, drawing inspiration from every conscious breath. Viviane loves dancing, spending time with her family and friends, breathing in the fresh mountain air, stargazing, and bringing smiles to people's faces.

Sandeep is a former helicopter pilot with the Indian Air Force and a UN peacekeeper turned yoga teacher and therapist. He has formally studied at KYM, Chennai, a prestigious therapy institute in India, for six years.

Guided by the aspiration to help his students understand their somatic environment, his classes are an intriguing mix of movements, dynamic breath patterns, visualization, and chants. The foundation of his classes is based on the phrase by the revered teacher T.K.V. Desikachar: "In whatever we do, breath is the master."

Sandeep grew up in the Himalayan state of Jammu and Kashmir and the plains of Punjab. Since both states have a rich and ancient history of Vedic and tantric traditions, he was fortunate to absorb the fundamentals of Indian philosophies at an early age.

He lives with his wife in Hyderabad, India, and has a grown-up son. Apart from his deep fondness for yoga, Sandeep loves being in the mountains, reading, winter sun, and good humor.

"Yoga is my life,” says André, whose passion for the practice is evident in everything he does. Originally from Brazil and living in the U.S. since 2000, he embraces yoga as more than movement—it’s a philosophy he strives to embody daily.

André’s yoga journey began in 2007 and deepened at the renowned Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram, where he discovered the transformative and healing potential of yoga. Inspired to share its benefits, he pursued specialized yoga therapy training, witnessing firsthand its power to support healing and well-being.

Through nurturing classes, André empowers students on their paths to self-discovery and healing. His compassionate approach makes yoga accessible and transformative for all.

When not teaching, André enjoys Florida’s Emerald Coast, spending time with his children and relaxing at home with his wife.
