Juliana Vera

Juliana was born in Quito. She comes from a family that loves natural medicine, that’s how she connected with many holistic practices. She was an exchange student in Union, Oregon. After she graduated from high school, she studied Hospitality and Tourism at Universidad de las Americas. When she was in college, she took yoga classes, and she fell in love with this practice. That lead her to study her first yoga teacher training focused in hatha-vinyasa yoga and afterwards she completed her 500 hours training focused in yin yoga and kaula yoga. During this time, she studied many alternative therapies such as: reiki, massage therapy, aromatherapy, bio-decoding, breathwork and sound healing. Her curiosity for health made her study Ayurveda and Ayurvedic Body Therapies at California College of Ayurveda. She became aware that her true passion is to live a conscious life and share her self-healing experience with others. Another of her interests are extreme sports and adventure. These activities made her connect with the power of the mind and led her to study neurolinguistic reprogramming and regulation of the nervous system through meditation, aromatherapy and the connection with nature. During her free time, she loves to travel and get involved with ocean conservancy projects, practice freediving and surfing. Juliana integrated all her knowledge and learnings to enhance your experience on board.
