Nuno Carvalho spent his adolescence on an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, in the Azores, where he started a deep connection to nature and the ocean. Degree in Physical Education and Sports, he dedicated to the Pilates method early on, having been trained by Pilates Institute from UK. He was a teacher in clinics and health clubs, working at the level of postural reeducation and rehabilitation. Human movement and energy work become more consistent with Nuno contact with Chi Kung, in which he had the privileged to learn from several masters in Europe and Asia, such as Mantak Chia, lam Kam Chuen, Peter Den Dekker, Wu Chuan, Paul Lundberg, Lama Dondrup Dorje between others. Body work came naturally from a Zen Shiatsu Course at Macrobiotic Institute of Portugal where he practiced for 3 years and then dedicated to teaching, which he did for 10 years. During this time I integrated other arts such as japanese acupuncture, myofascial release in the approach of anatomy trains and, finally, osteopathy, a course held for professionals ITS health. As a mind training meditation has been part of his practice transmitted by Tibetan Buddhism and Taoism. In his view of holistic integration of the human, he uses these various experiences and formations for therapy and also movement and rhythm in resonance with the way nature and the elements interact.
