My name is Andrés or Shambo, whichever you prefer ...

	I started practicing Yoga more than 30 years ago. 
	I approached Yoga because of the need to build peace and 
	calm in my life. At that time I had a stressful professional 
	activity, or at least I experienced it that way, and I was 
	not at peace with myself. My body was very rigid and my 
	physical and respiratory resistance were poor.
	Very soon Yoga became something inalienable, a pillar in my 
	life. And something very natural happened, when you start 
	practicing Yoga and you open yourself to transformation: 
	a desire to know more, to deepen in the practice and in you 
	(which is the same thing), is ignited.

	So I began to train, with patience and dedication, first in 
	Hatha Yoga, then in Anusara® Yoga, and my commitment 
	grew so much that I wanted to be able to train other future 
	teachers.

	I feel that the transmission of Yoga is my Dharma. 
	Communicating to others what I have come to understand, 
	accompanying without judgment the personal growth of each 
	student, putting oneself at the service of the beauty and 
	innate goodness of the Universe, is my mission on this plane.

Since 2008, I have
been teaching Hatha 
Yoga. I am currently 
Anusara® Yoga 
Certified Teacher. 
I am continually 
studying and learning 
and practicing daily 
for more than 15 
years.

You can hear my voice and get to know me up close in the "Open Heart" video-interview
at Cal Arana (Canovelles), led by Paola Idini (Anusara Yoga Teacher).

Some other details about me were well reflected in the interview that my good 
friend Patricia did with me.

You can find all the details of my training in my CV below.
