Working with the themes of dedication, insight and devotion, he seeks to recognise and help unfold the innate power and potential in all of his students and help them find greater freedom in their practices and lives.
Recognising the merit and beauty of an integrated approach to yoga, Octavio teaches from both a classical and tantric perspective.

Holding a deep love and respect for the practice, Octavio acknowledges with gratitude the grace of his teachers who have shared their light and wisdom with him over the years. He teaches deep, integrative powerful yet playful classes. A style he refers to as ‘Conscious Vinyasa’, which combine strong, intelligent and creative vinyasa sequences, key-pose breakdowns infused with mythological story-telling, devotional music, mantra, meditation and pranayama.
