The Heart Behind the
Practice

Hola! I’m Leticia, from Uruguay, where I grew up on a farm in a large family, playing music and enjoying a rich Spanish and Italian cooking heritage. I moved from the countryside to the city to study at university and work in roles from events coordination to finances in multinational companies.

My travels led me to India and Sri Lanka where I discov ered yoga and sound healing, blending my musical roots with the healing power of movement and vibration. Later, I studied Thai massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand, deepening my understanding of the body and learning how to adapt my teaching to support each student’s alignment. I’m now embarking on a career in counselling, as I believe true healing begins deep within the mind and the spirit.

Fermata was born 10 years ago while doing yoga on the beach with my family in California, when my brother-in-law, a musician, reminded me of this musical note! In music, a Fermata marks a note of pause to be held at the performer’s discretion. It felt like the perfect fit for my yoga style!

With my love and life partner, also a passionate foodie and gardener, we’ve spent several years in Kalbarri creating a permaculture sanctuary, where I remain deeply connected to the natural cycles of the seasons. Yoga has connected me with a vibrant local sangha in town, and through movement, sound, and mindful living, I aim to inspire others to reconnect with themselves and the natural rhythms of life.
