Bliss

Hi my name is Bliss, and I am one of the yoga instructors and facilitators at Moinhos Velhos. Blessed with this name that reflects both a feeling and an intention. Bliss is a reminder of our natural state of ease, presence, and quiet joy when we slow down and reconnect with ourselves. It’s the energy I aim to bring into my classes and retreats: grounded, open-hearted, and gently uplifting.
I trained as a Sivananda Hatha Yoga instructor in South India, where yoga is deeply woven into daily life and spiritual practice. Sivananda Yoga is a traditional and holistic system that focuses on balance, in every aspect of the body, mind and soul connection. Its core teachings are based on five key principles: proper exercise (asana), proper breathing (pranayama), proper relaxation (savasana), proper diet, and positive thinking and meditation (Vedanta and Dhyana).
Together, these principles support not just physical health, but a calm and centered way of living.
My teaching style is steady, accessible, and compassionate. I love creating spaces where our guests feel supported exactly as they are, whether they are brand new to yoga or returning to deepen their practice. My intention is always to guide you back to yourself, into greater awareness, ease, and a sense of inner bliss that can be carried off the mat and into everyday life.
