ONE: Fábio Santana



Fábio Santana

A challenge I overcame: To achieve my own business.
A dream for my future: To have many young, healthy and beloved students in my school of the DeRose Method.
A hope for the global community: Understanding and tolerance of differences.  Prosperity.


Fabio runs this branch of Uni-Yoga that I stumbled across here in Florianopolis and temporarily joined for two weeks.  Here Fabio and the other instructors have created a very welcoming space and atmosphere that reflects the holistic approach of the particular strand of yoga that they practise, the DeRose method, which includes an emphasis on positive family and community relationships.  Fabio and his team have certainly achieved this.  I certainly felt very welcome within the school from my first visit to the school, where Fabio gifted me a book 'Yoga é serio' and explained in detail the difference between this particular method and others, differentiating this as a school rather than a gym, and emphasising that all instructors are trained at university level and complete professional development training annually. :
"DeRose Method is a lifestyle proposal focusing on good quality of life, fulfilling human relationships, culture, good dietary habits and optimal health.  Some of the tools used are breathing re-education, stress management, and body techniques to improve muscular tone and flexibility as well as other techniques utilised to achieve emotional relaxation and mental concentration.  All of these tools ultimately aim to increase consciousness and self-awareness."

It was definitely a good decision to sign up to their classes, partly because of the interest of meeting the other students (including another international Kim, this time from Korea) and also because the relaxation of the physical and mental techniques I was introduced to in the beginners classes took the edge off the intense mental strain of the 6-hours-a-day-plus-homework of Portuguese study.  A good compliment! :-)


Muito obrigada Fabio, por dar me bem-vindo á escola, foi um prazer conhecer vocês, a escola e a técnicas de DeRose. 
Boa sorte com o desenvolvimento continua de sua pratica pessoal e  a escola.
:-)
