About Me

How It All Started

Hey there! I’m Ana Cudin, a fun-loving yogi born and raised in the beautiful city of Nova Friburgo, Brazil. I'm married to my amazing partner and a proud mom of two wonderful boys, Matteo and Daniel.
 

My yoga journey began in 1998 when I found peace while preparing for university entrance exams, thanks to my mom who took me to a yoga class. This initial experience sparked a lifelong passion. In 2008, I traveled to Vrindavan, in India and completed my first teacher training at the renowned Sivananda Yoga Vedanta School. Since then, I've racked up over 1500 hours of training in Hatha Yoga, along with additional certifications in Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and an Ayurveda diploma.

Before diving deep into yoga, I pursued a degree in International Relations, and my career has been quite the adventure. I’ve been a flight attendant with Swissair, worked for four years at the Swiss Consulate in Rio de Janeiro, and since 2007, I’ve been working for the Swiss Confederation in Geneva, taking on the role of business analyst in 2020.
 

My yoga teaching experience includes teaching at Sivananda Geneva in 2008 and 2009, working as a private teacher from 2012 until 2015, and since 2022, I have been an independent teacher at the Espace de quartier de Soubeyran.
 

Yoga has been my go-to for maintaining balance in my life, both inside and out, ever since I was 18. It’s more than a practice for me—it’s a lifestyle that keeps me grounded and centered.
 

Students come to my yoga classes for various reasons: to stretch, to find peace of mind, to recover from an injury, or simply to discover a sense of balance in their lives. In my classes, you’ll find peace, balance, and numerous physical and psychological benefits.

Come practice with me, and let’s embark on this journey to inner peace together!
