Javier first became interested in yogic breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation in 1998 because of his love of free diving. In 2005, he began practising Hatha Yoga and since then has practised various styles such as Anusara yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Iyengar, Sivananda, Vinyasa Flow, Yin  Yoga and Rocket Yoga. She has trained in Hatha Vinyasa Yoga (E-RYT500), Rocket, AcroVinyasa, Hasya Yoga and OSHO Active Meditations, and has specialised in Pranayama through various courses. In 2013, she undertook her first Pranayama training with Sequoia Hennig in Rishikesh, where she was introduced to the teachings of the Bihar Yoga School. She subsequently studied at the Kaivalyadhama Institute with Shri O.P. Tiwari, one of the world’s leading authorities on pranayama, and completed the pranayama course taught by Gregor Maehle, one of the most prominent pranayama teachers in the Western world and the author of several well-known books.

At the same time, Javier has trained in natural therapies (Reiki, Bach Flower Remedies, Feng Shui, etc.) and is a CPR and AED instructor, an international instructor with the Apnea Academy and an AIDA international judge.

He is the co-creator of the programme Holistic Yoga® and their own methodologies Pranayam® and Breath Well®
