Yoga Teacher Barcelona Paula Acuña

Ashtanga yoga and Mandiram instructor.

Born in Uruguay, she spent her childhood in Mexico City. After getting a degree in Communication Science in Uruguay and working as a publicist, she travelled back to Mexico to return to her childhood home. Much to her surprise, this journey produced a u-turn in her career: she discovered Yoga. She started practicing Ashtanga yoga in Yogueswari (today Yoga Hé) and after 4 months of practice she had already began teaching.

A year later, she left the agency where she was working to dedicate herself full-time to giving Ashtanga yoga classes. Her curiosity for the origins of everything that had changed her life to such an extent took her to India to do a course in Hatha yoga with Sunil Kumar in Varanasi and to Nepal to practice buddhist meditation.

She returned to Uruguay with more knowledge and while she continued with yoga, she also studied traditional Thai Massage and Shiatsu. She has taught in Mexico, Brasil, Uruguay, India and Spain.

Paula has drunk from many fountains, achieving an overall knowledge of human kind, which is transmitted and inspires us in her classes.

“For me the secret of being in the state of Yoga (union) comes from an inner wisdom that, beyond the mind, lets us flow with constant changes”
