welcome

I'm Brisa (Bree-za / she, her, hers). I am a mama, wife, and lover of people. I am originally from Brasil and I grew up in Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro. I lived in many beautiful places around the world before settling down in North Carolina.

I am a passionate yoga practitioner, a skillful yoga teacher, and the founder of Yoga for a Cause Movement. I am also a Purpose Coach and I am deeply invested in personal development and in supporting others in their path of self discovery and expansion.

​

Whenever off my yoga mat, I love to go on a date with my hubby, read a good book, take nature walks with my dog, swim in the ocean, ride horses, and cuddle with my daughters.

meet my family

I met David in 2011, we were in the same flight from Rio de Janeiro back to USA. Long story short, we fell in love during those 8 hours and a few months later, I moved to Seattle to be with him. David is incredibly kind, generous, thoughtful, intelligent, hardworking, committed, and hilarious, just an amazing human all around! He inspires me to push my boundaries and go out of my comfort zone ALL the time! He is a leader and a true adventurous spirit!

Savanna is our oldest daughter. She is kind, funny, witty, brave, free spirited, and full of energy! Savanna loves to swim and backpacking camping. She makes friends with anyone anywhere, she loves people and connection! 

Adara is our "baby", even though she does not like to be called a "little baby" at all! Adara is the sweetest, she loves cuddles, nature, and food! She likes to take her time to get to know you slowly, and once she does, she will give you the best hugs! Adara is also all about being silly and funny, she is kind and empathetic. She loves animals, specially chickens! 

Bodhisattva Spartacus AKA Bodhi the corgi is just the best dog in the world. Our family would not be complete without him! He is the girls protector and my forever buddy
