Discover the Essence of Sanctuary Yoga Wellness

My name is Demetrius Marinho and I start this project in a way to bring the beautiful culture of Yoga, this ancient practice, that helps to balance body and mind to Venice, Italy.

I am certified yoga teacher by Yoga House New York, and I am forever grateful for my Yoga Masters Ananda & Gaurav from Himalaya, as grateful for Pooja and the University of Yoga in Rishikesh, India.

I start practcing yoga ten years ago in Brazil, after traveling the world and settled down in Italy, I finally decided to open my own studio in Venice and spread this way of life.

I continue studying with Indian Yogis as Yog Rimaa Goyal, in this way I always bring the mostly traditional yoga and correct postures direct to you.

I am currently doing another course in Italy to connect my knowledge to the European yoga style to finally blend all yoga branches (yoga means union) and create Sanctuary Yoga Wellness.
