Vitor Souza
YOGA PHILOSOPHY OR QUOTE THAT YOU LIVE BY: Yoga to me is synonymous with life and spirit. It’s a practice of fine details, non-linear progress, and subtle results. It’s an invitation to get to know ourselves better; to pace the intensity of our minds, emotions and hearts through attentive, intentional breath and movement. There is no observable beginning, no outline for advancement, and definitely no ending. It’s a lifetime endeavor, and a commitment to your soul.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT TEACHING YOGA: The privilege to lead students on a collective–but personal–journey of self-discovery and wellness. My mission is to facilitate healing, healthy habits, and intention setting through the understanding of personal cultures, rhythms of life, and community building. Personally, Yoga has been one of the biggest sources of fulfilling this mission. I am honored to have the opportunity and ability to assist others fulfill theirs.
SONG THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO PRACTICE: Way too many to mention here! But “Om Namah Shivaya” by Mose, Atma, J.Pool exemplifies my style well.
WHAT DOES YOUR IDEAL DAY OFF LOOK LIKE? A healthy mix of family, friends, yoga, nature, sun, beach (sprinkle in a little soccer and a cold beer here – it’s the Brazilian in me :), good food, some sort of group ceremony, followed by dancing, and deep rest to close it all out.
DESCRIBE YOUR TEACHING STYLE: Smooth and expansive vinyasa flow, with well-balanced opportunities for movement & stillness, power & gentleness, challenge & ease, sound & silence, engagement & contemplation. . . all fueled by our breath and intentions.

YOGA PHILOSOPHY OR QUOTE THAT YOU LIVE BY: Lokah Samastah Sukinho Bhavantu - May all beings be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and freedom for all.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT TEACHING YOGA: Witnessing how it affects peoples lives and builds a heart centered community.
SONG THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO PRACTICE: Music is everything when it comes to a good practice. I have endless playlist to draw from, but a current favorite is "A Reminder" by Trevor Hall.
WHAT DOES YOUR IDEAL DAY OFF LOOK LIKE? Work is play for me:) But when not teaching I love to be in any body of water playing with my 4 year old son. We are both fish and love summer at the river or beach.
DESCRIBE YOUR TEACHING STYLE: Ernest, fun, out of the box, connected, creative and full of heart. Like most who teach yoga, I love what I do. You will feel the joy and sincerity and it will be infectious.
