This workshop offers a theoretical and experiential introduction to conscious breathing techniques (pranayamas) and their complementary use within psychotherapy.
The course proposes an integrated view between contemplative tradition and contemporary clinical practice, exploring how breathwork can enhance emotional regulation, promote therapeutic presence, and support self-reflection processes in clients.

Throughout this lesson, you will explore:
Holding a degree in Communication and Marketing from São Paulo, I began my professional journey with a strong interest in the psychic and existential dimensions of the human being, which led me to a deep involvement with the Psychology of Yoga. This interest naturally unfolded into a broader search for integrative therapeutic practices, culminating in training in Bio-Integrative Somatic Psychotherapy at the Mentara school, where I currently work as a psychotherapist in training.
In my clinical practice, I integrate tools from Yoga and meditation as complementary resources to psychotherapy, exploring their benefits in deepening body awareness, emotional regulation, and expanding consciousness.
In parallel, I continue to expand my studies in the field of psychoanalysis through the Brazilian Institute of Clinical Psychoanalysis (IBPC), which further enriches my therapeutic approach, uniting body, mind, and the unconscious in a process of holistic care.
