About us
Bhavikathe two of us
Bhavika is Catarina and Susana. Between us we hold the retreats end to end: the practice, the food, the circle and the quiet in between.
Catarina
the moon — the mind, the thinker of Bhavika
Yoga teacher and DJ since 2021, with a passion for conscious movement and its direct relationship with releasing and healing.
Catarina trained in India (Hatha), in Yoga for Pregnancy and Kids in Portugal, and in Womb Wisdom for women in Morocco.
Down to earth, with an extreme will to provide a better place for everyone. “Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something” would be her motto in life. Catarina is our calm force.
Susana
the sun — a ball of fire and joy
With a long background in hospitality and people development, Susana's path has always been rooted in human experience.
As a yoga teacher and therapist, her work explores movement, breath, touch, and the relationship we build with our bodies.
With a heart of gold, she believes it is in our darkest moments that we may find “the true strength of the brilliant light within ourselves, that can never, ever be dimmed”. Susana is the embodied fierceness.
