Meet Nubia

For the last thirty years, I have been practicing and teaching traditional yoga and classical Indian dance. The philosophies and embodied rituals found here in my Bhakti Nova School of Yoga and Dance are based on the spiritual teachings of the Yoga of Devotion (Bhakti) and the healing practices of Hatha & Tantra Yogas. My hope is that these offerings open your heart to more divine love and sprinkle your path with many auspicious signs, infusing your life with deeper purpose and inspiring you to bring more devotional service to the world. I welcome you to explore these pages with curiosity and to contact me if you have any questions.

Mandala of Mothers

Mandala of Mothers is a devotional song written by Nubia to honor seven of the Great Mother Goddess. This prayer is to be used for meditation and to connect to these benevolent Mothers of wisdom. Listen to it now

"Nubia radiates the essence of yoga in a universal, authentic, rasa-filled way through her teachings, performances, chanting and in her living of yoga with her family at home or around the world. She is a jewel in the heart of many."

— Shiva Rea, Yoga Visionary
"With her gracefulness, warmheartedness and depth, Nubia shares her creatively inspired integration of the extraordinary ancient artistic traditions of yoga and Odissi dance."

— Tara Bennett Goleman, Author of Emotional Alchemy
"After 20 years immersed in the world of yoga study, I find Nubia Teixeira’s teachings rise to the top as the most profoundly rooted and integrated offerings of this ancient path that I have come across. Nubia is in a field of her own, blending her indigenous roots, Earth mother medicine, awakened heart and dancing soul."

— Gabriela Masala, Community Development Consultant and Facilitator
"Nubia embodies everything she teaches and expects from her students– her commitment to spiritual transformation shines through each of her classes through her shining smile, compassionate tone and grounded presence. Through the trust I feel with Nubia, I can open my body more deeply, challenge myself and also rest when I need to."

— Iris, Brilliant Artist

Bhakti Yoga

I define yoga as grace. I perceive and teach traditional yoga practices as a way to attune the body, heart, and mind with the sacred through Sadhana, or daily spiritual practice.

Odissi Dance

Odissi is a highly sculpturesque and devotional classical dance originally performed only inside temples. Odissi expresses the emotions of the heart and the stories of bhakti through mudras and a wide variety of beautiful body movements.
