Maria Santos

It all started when I was a child.

Dance and music helped me feel that experiencing creation and expression through movement improved my mental and physical health.

Creative and expressive at every opportunity, I played the accordion, drew and choreographed freestyle dances for younger children. This was just the beginning as I later attended Jazz Dance, Classic Ballet, Caribbean Dance, Bharatanatyam, Contact Improvisation and Modern Dance classes with Ian Douglas (Barbados), Andrew Harwood (UK) Gillian Perry (UK) and Rubén amongst others Rodriguez (Cuba).

Although self-taught at first, I decided to delve deeper and study Flamenco and Clásico Español in Sevilla, Granada, Madrid and Barcelona alongside big names of the traditional school and Flamenco Nuevo.

I am a graduate of a higher school Dipl. Graphic-Designer from the University of Düsseldorf specializing in Visual & Multimedia Design, while I then completed studies in Digital and Social Media Marketing.

I have trained as a Pilates Instructor and as a recognized Buteyko Breathing Specialist I support people to learn and apply the Buteyko method and improve their own health.

Many important life lessons I have learned through volunteering. I work in voluntary Adult Education and Health Prevention groups participating in activities that provide me with important experiences and conclusions for life. I constantly apply these conclusions in my work.

• Neurodanza® came into my life suddenly, but won me over from the first moment. Through it I found answers to my own searches and data that made my life significantly easier. I studied the System Neurodanza® at the Institute ESINC (Escuela Superior de Inteligencia Corporal) in Madrid and I offer Neurodanza programs and Coaching guidance in four languages.

On my way, I was undeniably won over by movement. Now, not only as a personal expression, but also as a way of life in which I understand that everyone can be helped in their personal development.

I thank each participant and each collaboration, because they give me the impetus to develop.

Every day deserves that "Thank you".

LET'S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER!

Μαρτυρίες

Αυτό που κυρίως συγκράτησα απο Mi Luna, είναι πως είναι τόσα πολλά τα "μυστικά" που συμβάλλουν στην ψυχοσύνθεση μας, η οποία ψυχοσύνθεση μας επηρεάζεται και κυρίως διαμορφώνεται από την φάση του Κύκλου μας. Εάν σε αυτές τις γνώσεις είχαμε πρόσβαση από μικρή ηλικία, θα γλιτώναμε από πολλές δυσάρεστες συνθήκες. Θα ήμασταν σε θέση να αναγνωρίζουμε, να αποδεχόμαστε και να διαχειριζόμαστε τις ποικίλες εναλλαγές μας σε ψυχοσυναισθηματικό, νοητικό και φυσικό επίπεδο. Μα πάνω απ΄όλα θα μαθαίναμε να σεβόμαστε αυτές τις εναλλαγές μας, διότι όπως αναφέρει συνεχώς η Μαρία για να μην το ξεχνάμε, είμαστε Κυκλικές και όχι γραμμικές!
