FOUNDER

Carlotta is the Founder of Wander Yogi and a yoga teacher based in Ericeira, Portugal. She discovers yoga in 2010 during a stressful time of her life and she starts to practice Ashtanga and Kundalini. It was in 2013, after her experience spending time in the Sivananda Ashram in India, that her desire to deepen her studies in the philosophy of yoga became more intense. After leaving Berlin to move with her family to Portugal, she meets her teacher Joana Cadete and with her she completed her first teacher training (RYT 200hr). She continues her trainings in Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga.

Wander Yogi is born from the passion for Yoga, travelling and spending time with friends and family but also connecting with new people through common values and interest. Through her journey of self-knowledge the most precious learning is that the real Yoga is off the mat.

ASHTANGA * HATHA YOGA * VEDĀNTA

Joana Cadete sees Yoga as a lifestyle that comprehends various self-development tools, like asana, prānāyāma, meditation, the study of the ancient yoga scriptures and our attitudes in daily life. For more than a decade, she went annually to India, for long stays, to deepen her practice and study. She started to practice Hatha Yoga in 1995 and has dedicated her life to teach yoga for already more than 20 years: Ashtanga Yoga, her long-term daily practice, Vinyasa, Yoga for Children and Teenagers, and Yoga Philosophy (Vedānta). Her passions are enjoying time with family, Yoga, Surfing and Nature.
