Daniela Luz – Yoga Instructor
Originally from the beautiful city of Lagoa in Algarve, Daniela
has travelled throughout the world where she had the chance to
experience different cultures and customs. When she moved back
to Portugal, she later had the opportunity to join the Villa Vita
Spa team. Besides working the Vila Vita’s health club, Daniela
is dedicated to the spa’s yoga activities, where the guests can
experience incredible yoga lessons, meditation, and Pilates.
“Although I was born here in Lagoa, in the Algarve, I lived outside the
country until four years ago. I had the opportunity to live in Australia for
five years, but I also stayed in Italy and Mozambique, so I can say that I’m
a bit of the world. Before my definitive return to Portugal, I decided to take
a long trip through Asia for a year to learn about its culture.”
The passion for Yoga is something that accompanied Daniela
throughout her life. “The curiosity to go further and connect with
the body, mind, and spirit, came to me very early when, as a child, I
was looking for something more. At the age of 17, I started to read
about meditation in books and magazines and realized that yoga
could help me get there. I started to practice yoga in one of the first
centres in the region which was located in Portimão, 15 years ago
and at that time yoga was not a very common topic.”
Daniela believes that yoga is one of the greatest secrets to
experiencing a positive life experience because it is a way to have
a clear mind and spirit, something that will later help you to face
the biggest obstacles or problems with a positive perspective. “My
mission is to make the person self-meet and connect more with
the body, heart, and mind“, enhanced the yoga instructor.
