Agustine

Since I was very young, I have always sought to understand how my body and energy work. At the age of 4, I was diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. At that time, doctors prescribed medication that made me drowsy and "calm". Fortunately, thanks to my parents, the treatment lasted only a week, as they decided to take me to practice sports. That's when my life changed.I started playing rugby at the age of 8 at the Club Universitario de Córdoba in Argentina. At 22, I traveled to Europe and began my career as a semi-professional in Spain and Andorra. I had the honor of representing the Andorran national team on 3 occasions. I finished my career as an athlete at the age of 30 in the year 2020.I'm telling you this to make you aware that thanks to those 22 years playing this sport, I was able to master and calm my mind. After leaving the sport, I found myself in an existential void, not knowing where to start. Thanks to breathwork, yoga, and meditation, I found a way to calm my mind again and find that center that only extreme sports provided me.After 5 years of internal searching and studying in Quiromassages, Reiki, Reflexology, Bioenergy, Neuroscience, Nutrition, Body Movement, and Conscious Breathing, I have discovered the tools to self regulation and a part of myself that I want to share with the world today.

Audrey Lombard

After years of dancing as a child, then muscle strengthening and pilates much later in adulthood, I discovered the practice of yoga and inversions at the age of 40 in the midst of a confinement: from a simple desire to rediscover my front split was born a daily personal practice accompanied by a genuine re-connection to my body. Gradually, through practice, encounters and then training, a much wider door than yoga opened up, and with it an obvious one: the importance of movement in our lives. In love with fluidity combined with muscle strengthening, Primal Moves was the logical next step on this path. In October 2024, I finished my training with the certainty that movement is one of the keys to our health, and a new determination: to teach this method that speaks to me so much, and thus contribute to the growth of this beautiful community.
