Grilo Preto
I invite a return to what feels primal, instinctual, and real.
My Movement and Capoeira offerings are a return to what feels primal, instinctual, and real. Cultivating strength, grace, and adaptability not through performance, but through presence.
Designed for those who value quality over quantity — and depth over distraction — offering a sustainable way of moving that deepens awareness and refines the body.
Have you ever given yourself the chance to move like this?

WAYS TO MOVE
WITH ME
-
Movement Practice
Offering a way to refine how we experience ourselves, physically, mentally, and energetically, through the vehicle of movement. It’s not about chasing peak performance or adornment, but about refining awareness and integrity in how we move and live.
It provides a structure for returning to what’s essential, things like attention, rhythm, breath, strength, coordination. In doing so, it reveals the deeper patterns like tension, avoidance, or clarity that shape our behavior and perception of self.
Ultimately, it’s a path for those seeking more than fitness. It’s for those drawn to depth, self-mastery, and a lived coherence between body, mind, and life.

Capoeira
More than a martial art, capoeira is a living tradition. I offer a path to developing the self through the study and training of this rich Afro-Brazilian form, learning and embodying music, instruments, physical play, history, and tradition.
Through my guidance, students build physical skill and conditioning while learning to navigate challenge with creativity and presence. Capoeira becomes a place to grow, to play, to belong, and to express freedom with purpose. Passed through song, movement, and community, it offers cultural understanding through the rituals of training and the energy of the roda.
I offer ways to engage with the art in multiple forms and settings, honoring both its roots and your own evolving relationship with it.
