Meet Ana Bugarim

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I discovered my passion for yoga and Eastern philosophy early on. With a background in theater and dance, I began teaching Hatha yoga in 1996. My journey deepened with certifications in Bikram Yoga (2003), Dharma Mitra Yoga (2005), and Ana Forrest Yoga (2006).

After moving to Miami over six years ago, I have continued to share my love for yoga and mindfulness with the local community. My approach to movement and self-expression has been shaped by various influences, including the teachings of Angel Vianna, a pioneering Brazilian dancer and movement therapist who revolutionized somatic education.

Over the past two decades, I have guided students on a journey of self-discovery, helping them connect with their bodies and minds through movement and mindfulness. This path also inspired the creation of Shakti Activewear—a brand rooted in the energy and power of yoga, designed to support practitioners on and off the mat.
