Francisca Martin
I teach power yoga, and I work with what training alone will not shift. Both of those are the same job to me: finding the thing that is actually in the way, and then doing something specific about it.
My speciality is the strong end of yoga — inversions, arm balances, the slow patient work of getting a body ready to hold itself upside down. I like teaching it because progress is undeniable. You either held the crow or you did not, and when you do, nobody has to tell you it went well.
What I noticed over years of teaching is how often the thing in the way was not physical. Someone with the strength for a headstand who could not commit to going up. Someone strong everywhere except the belief that they were allowed to take up room.
That is why I trained in hypnotherapy and RTT®, and in CBT. Not to turn yoga into therapy — they stay in separate rooms for good reason — but so that when the obstacle is not in the muscles, I have something better to offer than encouragement.
I work with women and men, beginners and long-time practitioners, in Dubai.
This biography is written in your voice as a starting point. Send me the real version — how you came to each of the three practices, and what you want people to know before they book — and I will set it properly.
Named, dated, checkable.
Anyone asking you to work at the level of belief should be willing to say exactly where they trained. Vague credentials are a warning sign in this industry.

Every bracketed line above is a placeholder. Send the exact certifications, awarding bodies and years and they go in verbatim — these are the details people check.
One practitioner, three rooms.
I will not sell you the other two. If you come for yoga and yoga is what you need, that is where we stay. If something comes up that belongs in a different room, I will say so once and leave it with you.
I will also tell you when the answer is not me. A physio, a doctor, a clinical team — knowing where my work stops is part of doing it properly.
