Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
arte.yoga is run by Flurina Huggenberger.
As a professional in physical therapy and yoga, I created arte.yoga in 2019 to serve my aspirations of combining my passion for yoga with my passion for art. At that same time I started giving private and group courses in yoga and women’s health care as well as craniosacral therapy.
I grew up in Rüti in the Kanton of Zurich, Switzerland, and I’m now mainly based in Playa Avellanas, Costa Rica. Thanks to my mother, a renowned painter and sculptor, I developed a strong interest in art and craftsmanship at a young age. I spent a lot of my childhood in my mom’s workshop. Many of the skills and techniques I use for my art today I learned from her over the years.
After studying tourism at Academia Engiadina in Samedan near St. Moritz, I worked in the tourism sector for a few years until I started my eduction as a physiotherapist at ZHAW in 2011, which I concluded in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy. In the following years I completed training in craniosacral therapy, pelvic floor rehabilitation for women, vaginal steaming and yoga. In parallel, I placed emphasis on my continuing training in physiotherapy.
Since 2015 I have worked for several medical institutions and clinics as a therapist. Until 2023 I was employed at a leading psychiatric clinic in Switzerland. In this function I enjoyed the opportunity to treat many patients with a great variety of health issues.
I spent much of my time traveling the world; especially Latin America, which always inspires me with its diverse culture and impressive nature, its artists and its colors. I love exploring remote beaches, kite-surfing and I’m always accompanied by my yoga mat and a couple of my blocks:). During my stay in Mexico in 2020 I delved into the work of Frida Kahlo and learned silk-screen printing in Oaxaca.
My Son Dylan was born in 2022. In 2024 I finally moved to Costa Rica to live together with my husband and Dylan where we are creating a new home and studio in Playa Avellanas.
I have a strong passion for bodywork and the connection between body, mind and breath. My mission is to enable you to find an individual practice with a focus on efficiency and joy.
