Born from Resilience. Built to Move.
Capoeira in Motion was born from the energy of Capoeira, the Brazilian art that carries strength, rhythm, freedom, and identity.
But this brand is more than gym wear.
It is a story of movement, culture, family, resilience, and the power of rising again.
Before It Was a Brand, It Was a Story
My name is Caline Cezimbra, also known in the Capoeira world as Professora Areia.
I grew up surrounded by Capoeira through my father, Mestre Marinaldo. The sound of the berimbau, the rhythm of the songs, and the energy of the roda were part of my life from the beginning.
Capoeira taught me one of the greatest lessons I carry: in life, you may fall, you may need to adapt, but you never stop moving.
Built on Love. Forged by Resilience.
This journey was never built alone.
My mother’s support, my sister’s strength, my daughter’s future, and my autistic son’s beautiful way of seeing the world all became part of the foundation behind Capoeira in Motion.
They remind me every day that strength has many forms, and that purpose can be born from love.
When Life Changes the Rhythm
In April 2025, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
During that life-changing moment, I began asking myself what I wanted to create, what I wanted to leave behind, and how I could turn pain into purpose.
That was when Capoeira in Motion became more than an idea.
It became a movement.
Life will test you. There will be moments when the rhythm changes. But Capoeira teaches us something beautiful: you do not stop. You adjust the rhythm. You find your balance. And you keep moving.
More Than Gym Wear. It’s a Movement.
Today, Capoeira in Motion is a women-centred activewear brand, created to empower women through movement, confidence, culture, and identity.
But the movement is for everyone.
Alongside our women’s collections, we also create selected unisex pieces for capoeiristas, dancers, runners, athletes, gym lovers, and anyone who believes that movement is part of who they are.
Our pieces are made to move with you, from the roda to the studio, from the gym to the streets, from challenge to confidence.
Because Capoeira is not only something we practice.
It is something we carry.
