What is Authentic Flow?

- Where Infinite becomes Intimate

Authentic flow is a somatic approach to movement through which we listen, taste, see, feel, inquire and learn to embody our bodies as a living, feeling and exploring creative process of becoming.

This is an ongoing conversation between the inner and the outer, your body and it’s interconnectedness to the environment, between every part of your bodyheartmind, and as a whole. It seeks to clarify tools and pathways for sensing and recognizing Truth, ‘Here-ness’, safety & home, as well as rapture. 

The goal is where you are. It is a direct sensory experience of the Now/You, rising as You/Now.


When you move everything moves. We are movement and the movement we are will inform the movement we do; on and off the mat. As we consciously find this arising movement of Truth, we also support more complex, self-regulatory and healing processes in the body-mind. This brings a sense of relief and emotional clarity, a sense of agency and tranquility, nourishment, connection and love. 


To be/do this, we use breath, sounding, soundscape, fluid-state activation and recognition, a receptive, sensory state of attention, Yoga asana, mantra, intuitive movement, elemental embodiment and more, all informed by non-dual Tantrik philosophy.

This allows us to go with what truly is and not what we want/try there to be. We get out of our own way and learn to, not necessarily feel better, but to get better at feeling. 

We shift our rational and more conventional orientation from linear thinking to a more multi-directional and sensing, feeling Embodied Awakening of the BodyHeartMindSpirit.

The Elements.

  • DISCOVER ☥

    Learn and be inspired to start a daily home spiritual practice, Sadhana. Experience the knowledge of Holy Trinity (Pranayam, mantra, and meditation). Gain a deeper understanding of yourself by learning about your unique strengths and how to harness them to live more authentically and wholeheartedly. Get clear on what your path is in life by discovering your dharma, put out your intentions, and be ready for the manifestations.

  • COMMUNITY ☥

    Welcome to your Tribe! Being in a group adds a lot of inspiration to our studies and brings more compassion forth. Sharing together in circles invites us to articulate our experiences and findings, and also gain wisdom from others' experiences. Group mind is such an important part of our training and we shall feed it with our truest presence. This is an inclusive and nurturing community that holds space with integrity and love.

  • DEEPEN YOUR PRACTICE ☥

    Gain a deeper understanding of the human body from extensive study of experiential anatomy, physiology. Learn about the physical practice of yoga & proper organic alignment in asanas from the inside out. Discover and embody the art and science of creative and somatic sequencing. Dive into the world of the subtle body experiencing and studying somatically for example Cakras (from the root source: Tantras ) and more. Study yoga and Tantrik Philosophy interactively to inspire and support your path.

  • AUTHENTIC TEACHING ☥

    To teach, we need sensitivity, intention, compassion, and courage. A good, authentic teacher always teaches from her/his/their own practice. As a teacher, we are there to support, inspire and see what there is needed for each individual and for the group as a whole too. We must create and facilitate a safe environment for learning and growth. As the most important tools, we learn about holding space, use of voice, somatic cueing, body language and touch, the purpose and use of props, and what is important in hands-on adjustments and assists.

  • GOING DEEPER ☥

    Get EMBODIED through Somatics like BMC, Continuum, Somatic Earthing and practices of Authentic Flow, Embodied Yin™, Embodied Flow™, Myofascial release, Shake the Dust, free movement, dance, and more! These explorations provide technology for a deep sense of ease, strength, and connectivity in the human form. This in-turn, helps us as teachers to see and understand different bodies, and furthermore, we gain tools to empower our students to be their own greatest teacher as they expand, process, integrate and facilitate awareness in their entire body-mind.

The Location.

Facilitated just outside the picturesque city of Tavira at the Algarve, Portugal and a 30 min drive from Faro, you will find the peaceful setting of Altanure.

"Être la nature", be nature is the philosophy that defines Altanure. Natural surroundings molded by the hands and fingerprints of humans, create a haven to reconnect with nature and find balance and harmony within. In Altanure, there are 2 houses: Casa Terra - a contemporary house built with traditional earth techniques - and Quinta Sol d’Água - a century old traditional farmhouse.

Senior teacher Evy Ferraro

Through the path of Yoga and various healing modalities, I have dedicated this lifetime to healing the patterns to which my own mental and physical struggles existed within. This path has now become one of devotion to facilitate others to do the same. As my own inner quest for wholeness has continued on its infinite journey, with its ebbs and flows, I have learnt to trust and follow its many tributaries into different modalities including various forms of Yoga, Pilates, Myofascial Release, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Release technique, Contact Improvisation, Shamanism, Somatic education incl: Thomas Hanna Somatics, Feldenkrais, Mind-Body Centering and Franklin method and others. The marriage of these movement practices with non-dual Saiva Tantra has created infinitely creative recipes for truth. The embodied path of Tantra brings us nowhere but here. The goal is, and has always been exactly we are. It is through the vessel of the body, through its miraculous pathways of connectivity and exploration that we can awaken to the intimacy of presence.
