HUGO ABECASSIS
YOGA TEACHER & OSTEOPATH
"I found my passion of Anatomy in Yoga through the observation of the human body behaviour. I believe that, as humans we are unique and each one of us share's a different experience in life. All of those experiences are imprinted in the body, so as such, the body can be read just like reading a book.
Past, present and even future is imprinted in the tissues and that can be seen as postural behaviour, traumas, injuries, genetics, etc. The body simply assumes an atitude as a register of all we have gathered and experienced.
My work and research pursuits the knowledge and integrity of the human body as a first step to understand deeper aspects of the being".

YOGA & PHILOSOPHY
I got introduced to Yoga in the year 2000 under the influence of my mother who was already a practitioner. In 2005 I had my first Yoga teacher training in Portugal and since then I kept this study and practice as part of my life.
Since I started this journey, I always attended yoga classes and tried various methods.
Amongst other methods, I practiced Ashtanga Vinyasa for a some years and later discovered the Iyengar method where I immediately felt identified (maybe due to my therapeutic and medical background) and In 2017 I got certified as an Iyengar Yoga teacher. I kept this study and practice along with the research in Anatomy, biomechanics and biotensegrity for many years until today.
