Miryam Acosta
Miryam discovered yoga after she resigned from her corporate job in 2013 and made plans to start a new career as a full time Yoga teacher.
Recognizing its profound impact, she committed to deepening her practice and embarked on a journey to become a certified yoga instructor. Along the way, she studied under renowned teachers and immersed herself in various yoga traditions, including hatha, vinyasa, restorative and yin yoga. These diverse trainings have allowed Miryam to cultivate a unique teaching style that blends ancient wisdom with a contemporary approach.

Since 2019, her new focus is teaching workshops, teacher trainings, festivals, and retreats around Southeast Asia, while still teaching group and private classes. She also develops her own system called @yogabaseflow
John Lizcano
John became interested in the Yoga world while practicing and competing as a sports gymnast in his native country, Colombia. After an injury to his wrist, he decided to seek a healthier discipline and luckily discovered yoga.

Which launched a spiritual journey to experience the roots of Yoga, so he went to India (Rishikesh and Goa). John undertook his first formal yoga training there and developed a profound respect for Eastern culture and teachers.
Today he enjoys, applying and integrating mindful skills and philosophies to hand-balance techniques and yoga practice.
His passion for inversions and handstands led him to dive into the Rocket yoga style, where he learned more dynamic sequences. Currently, his classes take a more organic approach to yoga learning and encourage practitioners to enjoy the yogic combination of sweat, equilibrium, creativity, and presence
