Meet your host
João Paulo Pereira
Founder of BASA Yoga
Self-love greetings. My 'first date' with healing practices was around age 10, when my mother introduced me to a Japanese energy healing practice called Johrei. Still in my early teens, I took a NPL (Neuro-linguistic programming) course with the Silva Method.
It wasn't until decades later, with many years of yoga teaching, embodiment, and meditative practices under my belt, that I realized the connection between my life's path and those almost forgotten experiences of connecting with Spirit, channeling of healing energy, and smart regulation of the mind.
​
Today, in my mobility rehab & prehab practice, I combine the wisdom of Pilates & Yoga therapy to help folks understand pain as a compass to good health and overcome it. In my Thai massage, Tok Sen and water therapy (Aguahara) offerings, I humbly let my hands be guided by the union of intuition and bio-mechanic knowledge.
I invite you to join me in inhabit our temples. The ones made of flesh, bone, and consciousness. And I hope we are as kind to it as we are to our loved ones. Kind enough to give ourselves the gift of healing touch. And take it on as a practice, a practice of self-love. This is my prayer for us. Will you join me?

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is included?For retreat-style residential trainings: tuition, food, and board. NOT INCLUDED: airfare and transportation to the venue. For non-residential local trainings: tuition only.
-
What if I just want to deepen my practice but not teach?This training’s main focus is to instruct you on how to build your personal practice, which once built and established can easily lead to great teaching. So if you are coming mostly to get your 200 hour certificate, please don't come. If you are on a personal quest to develop or give new meaning or depth to your personal practice, you will emerge from this training transformed and more embodied. From an authentic personal practice you will begin to naturally share and teach others if that is something you are seeking and wanting.
