Originally from South Africa, Gretha has called Mozambique home for over 20 years. Her love affair with yoga began long ago, drawn to its ability to nurture both body and mind. In 2018, she completed her Hatha Yoga teacher training and has been guiding students with dedication ever since. More recently, she deepened her practice through Yin Yoga certification, expanding her teaching with a soft, meditative presence.

Gretha’s Hatha classes reflect her unique balance - grounded in strength, yet delivered with gentleness. Her deep passion for yoga continues to grow, and the joy she finds in sharing it is felt in every breath, every movement, and every smile.

Nelson's journey at Bahia Mar began humbly, as a helper in the kitchen. His curiosity and commitment quickly stood out

- he would ask to use the gym in his spare time, driven by a natural passion for movement and strength.

Recognising this spark, Susana invited Nelson to pursue formal training. He accepted wholeheartedly, completed his certifications, and has since grown into a dedicated and motivating fitness instructor.

Today, Nelson brings energy, discipline, and warmth to every session, inspiring guests to push beyond limits and reconnect with their bodies.
