Born in Brazil, I moved to the U.S. in 2018 curious about what else life had to offer. Yoga came into my life around the same time. My first class was really tough (physically and mentally), and I promised I’d never do yoga again. But at the end of class, during savasana, everything got quiet for a split second, and I sobbed. I didn’t realize it yet, but that silence became the turning point I didn’t know I needed. It helped me reconnect with my true self, and with others, in ways I never imagined.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Marketing, and since 2020 I have completed two 200-hour teacher trainings with Indigo Yoga in New Jersey and Rasa Yoga with Greta Hill in Seattle. I also hold certifications in Trauma-Informed Yoga and Restorative Yoga with Raquel Peres in Brazil. Everything I’ve learned, on and off the mat, shapes the way I teach, offering you tools to help your body and mind feel strong and flexible, and to help your connection with your purpose come alive.
I offer yoga classes and self-discovery mentoring for anyone ready to take action toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who they really are. I believe there are no shortcuts and real change happens when we show up for ourselves a little bit every day.
Through private classes, workshops, retreats, and online sessions, I meet people where they are and guide them toward practices that support growth, clarity, and purpose. When I am not teaching or practicing yoga, you will find me outside reconnecting with nature, spending time with people I love, or journaling and reading with a cup of tea (or fresh squeezed juice) nearby.
“When I started looking for yoga classes in Seattle, it was challenging to find one that really resonated with me. Most classes felt like just a workout, with little intention or mental exploration. But Fernanda’s classes were different. Every practice with her is purposeful, connecting movement with mindfulness and reflection that carries off the mat. She guides with calm, invitational language, helping me feel confident in my practice without comparing myself to others.”
“I’m very grateful for the uniqueness of each of Fernanda’s yoga classes, which are enriched with a sense of community and camaraderie. Fernanda is genuinely caring and offers very personal support and encouragement, whether you are a beginner or have been practicing yoga for some time. Each class is carefully crafted with clear and thoughtful intentions, showing how spirited and passionate she is about what she does. I am always inspired by her reflections and personal stories, which create space for us to embrace vulnerability and feel empowered by it.”
“Before finding Fernanda’s class, I had stopped moving my body because of injuries and stressful time in my life. Yoga had always interested me, but I was never consistent. Her classes changed that. There’s a calm that comes with the way she blends intention and movement, and it made my body feel supported in a way I hadn’t experienced before. Slowly, that calm helped me heal from the inside out. Even something I thought I had lost, like running after my injury, is coming back now. Every class shows how much she cares, and I’m so grateful for that.”
