nuno cabral (b. 1964)
 

bsc - sociology - unl/fcsh - lisbon (1986)

nuno started to study astrology simultaneously with sociology, later on at chiron, centro português de astrologia and with the faculty of astrological studies/london and has been working as a professional astrologer, since 1993, keeping this activity both in oporto and in lisbon, until today

 

he has practised aikido, on a regular/intensive basis both in lisbon (1982/1984) and oporto from (1987/1990) 

his yoga practice started in oporto (1994) with claudia villadelprat, a former christian pisano's student (iyengar yoga) and with inês matos, claude marechal's student (viniyoga - the european branch of the desikachar / krishnamacharya school from madras)

he kept attending classes at both schools on a regular basis and has concluded the teacher training course of the latter (barcelona, 2000)

 

from 1998 to 2000 he has regularly attended workshops with tomas zorzo and camino diez (oviedo / spain) teachers of the ashtanga vinyasa yoga school (pattabhi jois / mysore)

he has also been a student of the yoga center sananda (vigo/madrid - a school originally linked to the sivananda tradition, whose teacher training he also carried out (1997) and of the asanga yoga center in madrid (miguel fraile) where he's completed a two year teacher training course on yogatherapy (1997/1998)

from 2006 to 2009 he has attended the three years of the basic iyengar teacher training with christian pisano and june whittaker in nice/france without, however (by his own choice) being officially certified as a teacher of this school, of which therefore, he's not an associated member

in 2003, he started to follow the work of eric baret, directly inspired by the tradition of tantric shivaism of cashmere and attended his seminars from 2011 to 2019

from this set of references, combined with the successive innovations arising from his own practice, personal interests and the experience of teaching with very different audiences, results a non-systematic form of seeing and transmitting the art of yoga that, deriving from all of them, it is difficult to specifically define through any of them

 

he has also attended several massage trainings: therapeutical, restorative and sacro-cranian at simac (oporto) and shiatsu (two semesters at imp /lisbon)

he has taught yoga in various schools and gyms while in oporto (1997/2001)  his experience at uatip, senior faculty (four consecutive years of teaching several weekly classes to groups of elders) being one of the most relevant at that time
 

he moved to lisbon again in 2001, and since then has been collaborating intensively and regularly with several gymnasiums, institutions, cultural associations and dance companies in the city, integrating, among others, courses and projects for the training and improvement of dancers and actors (alkantara, re_al, acccandermatt, forum dance, fundação gulbenkian, sensurround, act, zdb, ccb, companhia olga roriz)

​

from 2004 until now he teaches regular classes in bairro alto / lisbon, and sporadically participates in events and workshops from other teachers and organizes shared / teamwork yoga retreats
