Guest Faculty and True North Vinyasa Team
Nazareno Grisolia
Nazareno is a fantastic guest teacher at our teacher trainings. He is a Uruguayan vinyasa teacher, surfer and movement wizard. Naza has a background in Ashtanga, a strong acrobatic practice and a playful yet deep teaching style. You'll meet him in most of our trainings as a class teacher and inversion workshop expert.
"Since I was 19 years old, as I decided to leave my home country to explore the world, my life has been - and still is today - an adventure. My curiosity has brought me to places, to experiences and people which altogether have shaped the way I live my life today. As I travelled Asia in 2004 I discovered the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa, a physically demanding yoga style which requires strong discipline, dedication and body awareness. I got hooked.
A couple of years later I got introduced to the creative style Vinyasa Flow. This practice, also very dynamic and strong, allowed me to explore what I somehow had been been missing in Ashtanga - playfulness, a chance to express my creativity and try out new postures. In 2011 I completed my first training - 200hrs Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training in India. The combination of two was the perfect foundation for me to start teaching yoga. Little did I know that training would be the stepping stone for me and my career as a yoga teacher."

“Working as a medical doctor in psychiatry, I’m really enthusiastic about what yoga can do for the medical world an vice versa. With yoga, people have a wonderful tool with which they can heal themselves. That is really empowering.”
