Paulo Jorge Carvalho, a Sesimbra native born in 1979, has always been interested in the philosophical search for the meaning of human existence, and it was through Yoga that he found the path to Self-Knowledge.

He first encountered Yoga as a teenager through books and practiced in a basic and elementary way. In 2000, he began systematic practice with a teacher. From the very first class, he identified with and was immediately fascinated by the philosophy of Yoga, and since that day, he developed a desire to dive deeper and dedicate himself fully. In 2003, he completed his Yoga instructor training, a profession he embraces with his whole soul, and his passion led him to open the Yoga Center of Sesimbra in 2005. From 2008 to 2019, he traveled throughout India, meeting the most well-known living Yoga Masters, visiting Ashrams and sacred and historic sites, and establishing a closer connection with Hindu Tradition.

His mission is self-realization through Meditation and Yoga, and to clarify this path for those who seek it, as well as bringing the benefits of this ancient practice to the entire population of Sesimbra.
