Corvo
I first found capoeira in Utah at the age of 14 when I heard the drumming and music emerging from a local martial arts studio. They invited me in to see the end of class Roda and I never forgot the palpable energy I felt.
My journey took me into teaching various fitness and yoga styles from bootcamp to barre to Zumba and officially began my own capoeira and contortion training in 2017, 7 years into my teaching career and 2 kids later. Being a hyper mobile person who also healed from pregnancy, I began to implement methods of training that prioritized efficiency and sustainability and opens doors to people of all body types and abilities.
I believe that making movement a lasting practice, it must make sense for our lives and whatever season we’re in. Your body, your choice AND I will always be there to remind you to reach into the edges of possibility. Every body is capable of finding belonging, connection, and confidence through movement.

What is a batizado?
A Capoeira Batizado is a special event in the practice of Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. The term "Batizado" translates literally to "baptism" in Portuguese, and the event signifies the initiation of new students into the Capoeira community.
