About me
Denise Bernuci is a Brazilian and Portuguese expat who moved to Luxembourg in 2019. She turned to yoga in 2020 to overcome feelings of isolation and found that it helped her respect her body and mind, overcome inner obstacles, and embrace her own pace toward personal achievements. This transformative experience inspired her to share the practice with others, leading her to complete her initial Yoga Teacher Training in Portugal in 2022.
Denise’s teaching style is dynamic and adaptable, combining classical sequences with playful, powerful movements. Her favorite styles include Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Power Yoga, and Yang & Yin. As an Aerial Yoga teacher, she encourages students to build upper body strength using hammocks about a meter above the ground, and her classes are known for their focus on core stability—planks are a regular feature!
In addition to yoga, Denise is a certified instructor in Bungee Fitness and she developed a unique and comprehensive bungee fitness teacher training course integrating all of the knowledge and expertise she acquired with other trainings from Brazil, Spain, Italy and UK.
With a background in international relations and experience in e-learning and consulting, Denise is passionate about movement as a powerful tool for self-transformation. Her mission is to create a welcoming space where individuals can move their bodies in ways that feel right for them, helping them tap into their inner strength and discover the healing power of movement.

ABOUT AECLECTICA
Founded in 2023 by Denise Bernuci da Silva, Aeclectica - Aerial, Bungee & Beyond is Luxembourg's first studio offering bungee fitness classes. This innovative fitness concept, gaining popularity worldwide, has found a home in Esch-sur-Alzette thanks to Denise's entrepreneurial spirit and passion for fitness.
A Personal Journey Turned Business Venture
Denise's decision to launch Aeclectica stemmed from a personal journey. Having taught yoga at renowned studios like YogaLoft, she found herself between jobs. The opportunity presented by BlocX, a local urban fitness climbing center, to rent studio space aligned with her desire to bring more diverse fitness offerings to the region.
More Than Just Fitness
Aeclectica's mission extends beyond providing fitness classes. The studio aims to create a welcoming and inclusive space where individuals can embrace their unique passions and interests. Bernuci's background in social entrepreneurship has influenced her approach, emphasizing risk-taking, resilience, and the importance of staying true to oneself.
A Versatile Offering
True to its name, Aeclectica offers a diverse range of classes, including yoga, HIIT, dance, and, of course, bungee fitness and bungee dance. This versatility reflects Bernuci's own eclectic interests and her belief in the importance of embracing one's individuality.
A Passion for Movement
Denise's passion for movement is evident in her dedication to Aeclectica. Her goal is to create a space where everyone feels empowered to explore their physical potential and discover the transformative benefits of exercise. With her expertise in yoga, aerial yoga, bungee, and more, Denise is committed to guiding her clients on a journey of self-discovery and well-being.
