Our story
About Claudia
Claudia Méndez is a yoga teacher and body therapist in Bogotá, with over ten years of experience supporting wellness processes from a holistic perspective of the body and consciousness. Her work focuses on teaching Vinyasa Krama, therapeutic yoga, and working with muscle chains, integrating conscious movement, breathwork, and deep listening.
She lives with a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, an experience that transformed her way of inhabiting her body and teaching. From there, she developed an approach that prioritizes adapting practice, caring for the musculoskeletal system, and regulating the nervous system, especially in people with chronic pain, injuries, or sensitive conditions.
In her classes and coaching sessions, she incorporates pranayama, the use of mantra, and meditation as tools for cultivating a more attentive, stable, and clear mind. Her teaching is based on classical yoga texts and the Vedanta tradition, understood as paths to self-knowledge and profound self-understanding.
As part of her holistic approach, Claudia integrates traditional Thai massage as a means of liberation and bodily restoration, and astrology as a symbolic tool that accompanies life processes and personal cycles from a conscious perspective.
Through Reconec-arte, Claudia accompanies individual and group processes where the body, breath and knowledge become a space of reconnection, care and inner transformation.
