"I completed 50 hours of Aerial Yoga with Catarina a few weeks ago and it was such a fabulous course I would highly recommend it! Previous to the training I had only practised Aerial yoga a handful of times so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I had the most fun time ever. Catarina is very inspiring and patient and teaches in a way that suits all abilities on the silk. A week I’ll always remember ❤️ "

ABOUT THE TEACHER'S TRAINER:
CATARINA AIRES MOTA
Woman. Sister. Mother.
Taurus rising, Sagittarius soul.
From a young age, Catarina has been guided by a deep curiosity to understand herself and the world around her. Her journey began through the art of touch, studying massage, and soon expanded into a lifelong exploration of the body, mind, and spirit.
She is, above all, a seeker.In 2001, she graduated in Ayurvedic Massage, followed by training in Sound Massage with Tibetan Bowls (Peter Hess Method) and Kundalini Massage in India (2008). Over the years, new tools continued to appear on her path, each one deepening her connection to the healing power of movement and presence.
Catarina is an internationally certified Yoga and Aerial Yoga Teacher.
In 2012, she completed her 200-hour Tantra Yoga Teacher Training with the Tri Dosha Method in India. From that moment, movement as medicine became her way of life, first as a personal practice, then as a path to support others. Living in Norway at the time, she began teaching and quickly discovered her passion for sharing this wisdom.
Ever the student, she continues to explore Yoga, Aerial Arts, Breathwork, Vinyasa Flow, Dance, Afro Dance, Water Movement, and Plant Medicine, following what feels true and alive in her own body.
Movement healed her. It became her language, her medicine, her truth.
She works in harmony with Nature and the Elements, allowing each to guide her teaching.
Catarina’s classes are dynamic, sometimes powerful and energizing, sometimes soft and restorative, but always rooted in breath, awareness, and respect for each individual’s unique body and journey.

"I highly recommend this teacher training program: the program it self is very professional and each day is logically organised after each element. The teacher Catarina lives and breathes this material and she spreads so much knowledge, enthusiasm and love for the craft. You will come out a changed person ❤️"
