Graciela Vicario Elgue

I was born in Montevideo (Uruguay) a few decades ago (almost 6).
My heart was not divided, it was not broken crossing the ocean, but I had the opportunity to add love.
I feel here and there, there and here.
I think it’s lucky to have had the opportunity to be nourished by different continents and almost the same root.
My grandparents and great-grandparents were Europeans: Italians, French Basques, and even a great-great-grandfather Spanish, so the mixture is my thing.
I am, therefore, an adult woman passionate about life and in continuous movement, who is trained and informed to transmit my passion:
Yoga, health, and wellness.
I feel comfortable doing it for and by women.
By connection, by similar experiences, by similar existential realities.
By sex, by gender, and even by our shared attributes.
There was a time when degrees, certificates, and courses gave me security.
Today I feel that I am much more than everything I have acquired.
I am the sum of all my experiential processes.
But just so you know all about me, I had dedicated myself to commerce and crafts right until I finished raising my two children.
Then, once they were old enough, I began fulfilling another more personal dream.
I studied TCAE (Nursing Assistant Technician), and I worked in hospitals.
I graduated in Occupational Therapy (social health profession) and worked with various groups of functional diversity.
I felt blissful but something was missing until my own personal yoga practice turned it into my profession. Training as an Iyengar yoga instructor and specializing as an Expert in Therapeutic and adapted Yoga.
Today that background helps me to transmit various tools to improve our self-listening, self-observation, and self-awareness.
My greatest pride is being a mother of two children, a grandmother of five grandchildren, and continuing to go strong.
