Our Team.

39 years old, a physical exercise technician and cross-training coach with a lifelong passion for sport. Thiago trained in track and field and rowing before finding his calling in CrossFit over a decade ago, and has extensive experience racing marathons and ultramarathons. At Taraz he brings that endurance background to guiding students toward safe, consistent progress, and is currently preparing for triathlon challenges as part of his ongoing pursuit of athletic excellence.

An advanced student at Movement Lisboa, dedicated to his practice for the past 5 years. Before Movement, Martim competed as a swimmer at national level and trained for years in karate, and has since explored climbing, yoga, and boxing, building a wide-ranging athletic versatility. His passion for movement and expression has led him to specialised workshops with Fighting Monkey, Tom Weksler, and Juan Hueda, among others, and he holds a YTT yoga teacher training certification from The Sacred Fig.

Trained at the Northern Ballet School in Manchester and a graduate of the Academia de Bailado Pirmin Treku, Sofia brings over 20 years of professional experience across ballet, contemporary, jazz, choreography and performance. She has performed at the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, Campo Pequeno, Teatro da Trindade and internationally, as well as working as a choreographer and teacher across Lisbon. At Taraz she leads Flexibility & Release, bringing the precision and body awareness of classical training into a contemporary movement context.

Educator and movement artist with over a decade of teaching experience. René graduated in Circus Arts in Brazil and toured professionally throughout Brazil, Europe, and the Middle East, performing in more than ten countries. His practice spans capoeira, taekwondo, physical theatre, contemporary dance, and circus arts: combining solo and partner acrobatics, handstands, balancing techniques, AcroDance, and object manipulation. At Taraz he brings this breadth into Coordination & Skill: a class built around body awareness, play, and the joy of movement as a tool for health, presence, and longevity.

Sepehr completed 18 months of comprehensive training in therapeutic massage, covering sports massage, clinical and rehabilitation techniques, and lymphatic drainage. He went on to work across a range of practices, including an osteopathy clinic, and served as masseur for a professional football team. At Taraz he favours a deep, focused approach: working through contractions and trigger points to restore ease and mobility to the body.
