Empower Fitness

Hi! My name is Annabelle Reyes and I am very excited about joining the Empower fitness community. I am a very fortunate person because my mission has become my way of life and I am dedicated to sharing knowledge from different disciplines through teaching and learning.On the one hand, I work happily facilitating intercultural communication: I run my own boutique language and translation agency with a focus on promoting Hispanic culture. Within our common discipline, Yoga, I have had the opportunity to lead Hatha, Bikram and Yin yoga classes in various studios in Spain and abroad. I have worked with children, teenagers and adults. All of them have contributed to create a very broad perspective of personal practice.In my case, it all started in 2011 when for the first time I tried a Bikram Yoga class. In 2012 I went to Los Angeles for Bikram Teacher Training and since then I take every opportunity to keep learning and deepening:'Yoga and breathing techniques for anxiety' at The Minded Institute of London in 2014.‘Yoga for families and children’ at YogaKids  in 2016. Thanks to this course I worked with after-school classes for children in the North area of Madrid and I have guided specific workshops in several studios.‘Mindfulness and meditation techniques for the cultivation of compassion’ at Nirakara Institute in 2017. I have participated as a curious student in various workshops, retreats and seminars related to holistic wellness, emotional intelligence and Mindfulness - they are one of my weaknesses!In my latest training I have deepened in the study of ‘Biomechanics and myofascial relaxation’ (2019) as well as in the discipline of ‘Yin yoga and restorative yoga’ in 2020 at Yogabasement.I was born near the sea and have childhood memories of warm Christmases at the beach. I am very interested in neuroscience, psychology and personal development.My family, friends and cats are my best company when I am not teaching or studying.Looking forward to meeting you all at Empower Fitness Studio!¡Muchas gracias!
