Yarimar Orozco

CTAA accredited yoga teacher.

Better known as simply “Yari”. I have been working in the tourist and hospitality industry on an international level for over 25 years. When I came to Aruba over 20 years ago as a tourist I fell in love with this beautiful Caribbean island and have been here ever since.

Around the year 2013 I started to practice yoga on a regular basis and learned to appreciate the spiritual and bodily benefits. After practicing Yoga for so many years I decided to get my CTAA Yoga teacher accreditation. It has been more than 3 years now
since I started teaching Yoga myself and it truly has been my best life decision.

Since Aruba is an island, we have the most amazing beaches all around us and I always felt the need to be as close to nature as possible. That is why I decided to teach Yoga directly on the beach, meditating and disconnecting from our busy world and daily life routine.

I strongly believe in practicing Yoga on the beach, in direct connection with nature, feeling my hands and feet on the white sand and listening to the sound of soft ocean waves is something unique and special. I feel grounded and can discharge any negative
feelings, it is a total release. I feel humbled and privileged to be able to teach Yoga in these truly unique surroundings, sharing my knowledge and passion with whoever is ready to embark on
this fantastic journey. This fulfills me more than anything else.

Namaste!

I´m Gabby. I started this journey when I was going thru in a situation that caused me a lot of pain. In that moment I chose to heal from pain. This decision gave me a beautiful opening to life, beginning to see all the nuances of ups and downs. Through different holistic practices, I managed to achieve my goals and dreams. I began to understand that we go from the inside out and I learned to use my kindness to my
advantage, growing every day as a being of light and spirituality. I see myself at the service for others, from light, love and peace. I keep growing every day, that will never stop.

I want to share my LIGHT, MY ENERGY with humanity...

Namaste, Gracias, Thank you, Danki”
