Bhakti yoga & mantra teacher

Rebecca Hajek is a 500hr certified yoga teacher, kirtan leader, and devoted student of Bhakti yoga, based in Lisbon, Portugal. Originally from New York, she has been studying yoga and meditation for over 25 years — a path that began after a career as a trained opera singer, a background that still shapes the way she teaches: with precision, musicality, and an ear for subtlety.

Her training spans Ashtanga, Iyengar, Hatha, Kundalini, Dharma, and Bhakti yoga, with her 500hr advanced training completed under Yogi Charu of the Saraswati lineage. She has since deepened her study of yoga philosophy, Vedic texts, and mantra with teachers Raghunath Cappo and Kausthuba Das.

Rebecca's classes weave together intelligent sequencing, chanting, storytelling, and devotional practice — making the ancient wisdom of yoga feel alive, accessible, and personally meaningful. She teaches retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings around the world, and always considers herself a student first.
