Santiago Pinto began a daily Ashtanga practice in 2002 while living in Sweden. In October 2011, he relocated to Barcelona, where he founded Sarria Yoga Asana, an Ashtanga school that has been home to his Mysore program ever since. He completed a 200-hour yoga degree with Brian Cooper in 2011, followed by a 200-hour RYT degree with John Scott in 2017. Since then, he has assisted John at several international workshops.
Santiago also leads a yearly 200-hour Ashtanga teacher training and works as a Structural Integrator practitioner, also known as the Rolfing method.
