She eventually became a professor in that very program, and later on in her life, she taught Hatha Yoga to countless people across Argentina and Brazil. She travelled the world to prepare herself, visiting among other countries, India and USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, she also taught me yoga (and other related things) \ud83d\ude42 I was about 6 years old when I started joining one of her classes in Brazil. Although I practiced with her as a kid, as I grew into my teenage years, I lost touch with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of years ago, I moved to Berlin for work (a new chapter in my life). And well\u2026 Starting a new life in a new country, without speaking the language, and without knowing a lot of people, was an <strong>incredible experience<\/strong>, but also quite <strong>stressful<\/strong>. In those tough moments (and there were many of them), <strong>yoga<\/strong> became my anchor again. I slowly returned to weekly classes, and also started a routine of yoga &amp; meditation at home in the mornings before heading to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, after 4 years of practicing regularly, I\u2019ve finally made the decision to begin my 200-hour YTT. My goal is to deepen my own practice and prepare myself to become a teacher \u2013 just like my grandma \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This space is a digital diary of my journey, and I am super glad to share it with you, step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you so much for reading, and if you want to follow along, keep an eye on my Insta and this blog, where I\u2019ll be sharing all my insights and learnings as I explore this beautiful path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agus \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/agusvazquez.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260108_180452-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777;object-fit:cover;width:976px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agusvazquez.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260108_180452-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/agusvazquez.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260108_180452-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agusvazquez.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260108_180452-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/agusvazquez.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260108_180452-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/agusvazquez.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260108_180452-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo taken by me, in Fuerteventura.
