Sarabel García
Founder of TUSHALA Yoga Studio.Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher in La Palma.
She first encountered yoga in 2013 in Germany, but it wasn't until 2018 that she made a real commitment to her daily practice. This was all thanks to Pedro Sicilia, a Power Vinyasa and Yin Yoga teacher (@pedroyogui), a teacher and companion for whom she is very grateful. That's why later, in 2020, she completed her RYT-200 hour training recognized by Yoga Alliance in Power Vinyasa Yoga with Nena Knafo and Xóchitl Diva, from the Sadhana Yoga School.
She discovered Ashtanga almost by accident in 2019 thanks to Lucía Fernández, from Espacio Prana (@espaciopranatf), and this is the style she maintains in her personal practice. In this space, she has had the fortune to take classes with Réka Molnár (authorized teacher by Paramaguru R. Sharath Jois) and Daida Carrillo, who currently also teaches Ashtanga at Tushala.
After 10 years as a language teacher in both Germany and Spain, having shared her enthusiasm for language learning for so long, she changed the course of her life by opening the doors to “Tushala.” She has decided to replace textbooks with yoga mats, but the same desire remains: to share her passion.
I admit that I would have liked to discover yoga much earlier. That was one of the reasons I decided to start this project. This way, others will have time to discover it. I simply feel that I must share my experience, from the perspective of an eternal learner and a disciplined practitioner. I only hope that “Tushala” becomes the foundation upon which the lives of many can improve, as yoga has done for me.
She has continued her education with courses on sequencing (2022) with Nena Knafo, participated in yoga and mobility workshops with Aida Venture (in 2018) and Nita Miralles (in 2020), asana workshops with Manuel Navarro (2021) and Sebastián Arbondo (2021), and recently trained in Rocket Yoga with David Cabezas and Bárbara Parra (2022).
In September 2024, after 3 years leading Tushala Yoga Studio, they pass the reins of the Tenerife center (@tushala.yogastudio) to the excellent teacher Wiktoria Skokowska and open the doors to a new Tushala Yoga La Palma (@tushalayoga.lapalma) with the aim of growing the yoga community on the beautiful island.
