Silke Bahia

I am professora de Capoeira and have been involved in this beautiful afro-Brazilian art for about 15 years now. Experiencing the techniques and magic of the Capoeira, I learned about the strong healing properties through music, play, and community of this resistance culture and its rituals.

Through this ancestral art I felt the connection between body and soul deepened as Capoeira has its effects on a spiritual level working through the physical space of our bodies. Accepting our bodies as part of nature I see great value in grounding and reconnecting with mother earth and our own inner nature.

My path before knowing Capoeira included a lot of sports and physical activity so that I already started out with a strong connection to my body and its abilities.

As a personal trainer I help others to improve their physical conditions and with the course “Corpo e Alma” I am opening the space to support women** to improve this connection of body and soul in community and to promote self-healing through our physical existence.
