About BESITOS YOGA

How it started

For over 20 years, I lived with chronic pelvic pain that deeply shaped how I approach yoga, movement, and healing.

Like many people with chronic conditions, I spent years trying countless treatments and therapies, but without lasting change.

Along the way, I was repeatedly told to “just do yoga.” Yet the styles available to me at the time focused more on performance than what I actually needed.

Physicians advised me to “stress less,” but despite my best intentions, my body remained rigid and tense.

Things began to shift when I discovered a different kind of practice: one that worked from within, through breath, body awareness, and gentle regulation rather than pushing through.

How I work today

Today, I support people living with chronic stress and pain in reconnecting with their bodies and learning to skillfully regulate their inner states.

My yoga focuses on somatic regulation through breath, awareness, and gentle movement, working with the body rather than pushing it.

While yoga does not replace medical care or therapy, it can be a powerful complementary practice to support recovery by reducing stress, releasing tension, and retraining patterns toward greater ease.

SPECIAL FOCUS: pelvic pain relief

I offer focused support for pelvic pain conditions: vaginismus & vulvodynia, informed by both lived experience and professional training into Yoni Mapping Therapy.

KUNDALINI YOGA & SOMATIC THERAPIES

A blend of Kundalini and elements of somatic therapies (Somatic Experiencing & Bioenergetics) for nervous system reset through breath, movement, and voice.

SOUND FREQUENCIES & REIKI ENERGY

Sound frequencies of Tibetan bowls help guide the brain into deep rest (alpha & theta states), while Reiki energy gently supports relaxation and healing.

A combination of long-held stretches & self-massage along fascial lines to release tension, support downregulation, and restore ease in body and movement.

Slow, supported postures that allow the body to unwind naturally, promoting deep relaxation, deep rest, and a greater sense of ease in the body.

Community & values

I believe recovery from chronic suffering is not only about returning to ourselves, but also about finding our way back to each other.

Finding my Sangha, a community of shared practice and healing, has been instrumental in my recovery.

That's why I'm dedicated to creating safe, sober spaces rooted in shared presence and connection.

Alongside teaching, I practice Seva (selfless service), regularly facilitating meditation sessions for Recovery Dharma Berlin and walking the path of a 12-Step Recovery fellow.

Each year, I also serve at the Guru Ram Dass Ashram in Portugal.

These experiences ground my work in:

• acceptance

• honesty

• compassion and loving-kindness

• the belief that recovery is possible, even after long periods of suffering

"As we have learned from practice, great pain does not erase goodness, but in fact informs it.

May we make the best use of our practice, and whatever freedom arises from our efforts here today.

May this be a cause and condition for less suffering and more safety in our world."

" I didn’t know what to expect and I have to admit I had my doubts before the session with Tibetan bowls, but it seriously works! I felt the vibrations, I relaxed and so did my muscles and body.

After the session I felt very calm, and I’m glad I did, because I was able to be with myself and de-stress. I highly recommend sessions with BESITOS. "

The sound journey with BESITOS really moved me.

Their soft guidance and the sounds helped me relax in a way I didn’t expect. It felt very special: I could let go and just be.

I was surprised how much tension I had in my body before the session with BESITOS, and how much lighter I felt afterwards.
