  Description

  Experience movement, connection, and community in Ribeirão Pires, Brazil! 🌿✨
  We have a welcoming space for self-development, cultural exchange, and well-being. We offer Yôga classes, massage workshops, forró dance, ice immersion, and other transformative experiences that encourage body awareness and a deeper connection with oneself and others.
  
  Located in the heart of Ribeirão Pires, our space is just an hour from São Paulo and surrounded by the lush Atlantic Forest, offering both urban conveniences and access to nature. We value sustainability, conscious living, and community spirit, and invite open-minded, proactive individuals to join us in this experience.
  
  Our centre is primarily run by me (Luc), with the support of a small group of volunteers, who contribute by helping set up classes, welcoming participants, and assisting in social media management.
  No large permanent staff is employed; it’s a small and community-driven initiative.
