Yoga ✺ Breathwork ✺ Cacao ✺ Love ✺ Freedom People come into your life at the right time and you often find yourself in the right place (even if it seems random) - there are no mistakes in the universe and there is a reason why you are reading this page right now. If you want to know who I am professionally the answer would be yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, author and retreat organiser. But if you want to know who I am beneath those titles, the answer would be:

I am a human being, on a spirtual journey - and so are YOU! Depression, severe anxiety, self harming, self sabotage, wanting to end my life... I was 18 years old and totally lost. This is when yoga entered my life and over the next 10 years I have been building myself up. One day at a time, I kept choosing to fight for my life, I looked for light over dark and I'm so grateful that I am still here. Today I teach yoga and breathwork classes, online and in person and organise and run international retreats all over the world. My role is to gently remind you that you are the creator of your life. At any given moment you can rewrite the story, let go of your limited beliefs and choose to let your inner light shine! I look forward to seeing you in class or on a retreat. Much love to you and thank you for being here.

What if manifestation isn’t just about thinking positively, but about meeting the parts of yourself you usually avoid?

In this episode of Mask Off & Exhale, I’m joined by Dr. Sabrina Piergrossi for a deep and honest conversation about manifestation, shadow work, and the path to true self-awareness. Together, we explore how our words, beliefs, and unconscious patterns shape not only our reality, but our energetic state.

We talk about the idea that “words are spells” and how language influences the subconscious, why self-sabotage often points to inner conflict, and how real manifestation requires curiosity and compassion towards all parts of ourselves, not just the shiny ones.

This episode is an invitation to soften into acceptance, to meet your shadow with openness, and to see healing as a journey toward wholeness rather than perfection. Shadow work doesn’t have to be heavy, it can be playful, freeing, and deeply empowering.

If you’ve ever felt torn between the part of you that wants expansion and the part that wants safety, this conversation will help you understand why and show you a gentler way forward.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• How words and energy shape manifestation
• Why self-awareness is the foundation of change
• The link between self-sabotage and inner conflict
• Integrating the shadow for true healing
• Acceptance, vulnerability, and becoming whole

Take a breath with us.
Mask off. Exhale. 🤍

The Heart of the Ocean Humpback Whale Retreat is for souls who feel called to connect with the ancient knowledge of the ocean. They come not out of curiosity or thrill seeking, but because something in them recognises the value of slowing down, listening, and reconnecting with the ocean’s wisdom keepers.

Whales are associated with remembrance. They live between worlds, surfacing to breathe air and then returning to the depths, teaching us how to move between the seen and unseen, the conscious and the unconscious. In their presence, we are invited to slow down, release mental noise, and allow the nervous system to recognise a new way of being, one that moves beyond survival and reconnects us with the heart space.

Being close to whales humbles us. Their size, grace, and quiet authority place our human concerns into perspective, inviting a deep sense of awe and respect rather than control. In their presence, we are reminded that we are not at the centre of the natural world, but participants within it. This humility opens the door to deeper listening, to the ocean, to the body, and to the ancestral intelligence that remembers how to live in relationship with forces far greater than ourselves.

I cannot wait to experience this with you.

Dolphins are often described as playful, joyful, and magical... but their presence goes far deeper than that.

In this weeks episode, I explore dolphins as mirrors. Not as symbols or saviours, but as intelligent, emotionally attuned beings who reflect our nervous system, emotional state, and authenticity. Drawing from years of swimming with wild dolphins and guiding retreats, I share personal stories of connection, healing, and transformation, and why encounters in the water are never about forcing or performing.

I talk about how dolphins sense our energy, how they respond to presence rather than effort, and why these encounters often bring emotions, clarity, or life-changing insights to the surface. This episode is an invitation to take off the mask, and meet yourself honestly: both in the water and in life.

Because dolphins don’t reflect who we wish we were. They reflect who we are.

I have worked with ayahuasca and mushrooms before, but nothing has opened my heart as much as the medicine of cacao. Every plant or herb has a spirit, an energy that can help us along our human journey. The blue lotus, for example, helps dissolve blockages in the sacral chakra and opens the heart, third eye and crown chakras so we can see beyond the veil of illusion. And while I love working with the Blue Lotus Spirit, the Cacao Spirit is the one closest to my heart.

She has been my guide in times of deep heartbreak and loss. Whenever I am scared or vulnerable and feel my heart beginning to close, I reach for a cup of ceremonial cacao. Why? Because I have a deep trust in her ability to gently open my heart and help me see the TRUTH beneath any pain, betrayal or fear I may be feeling. She helps me step out of my ego and back into my heart when I feel lost or confused, guiding me back home to myself.

If your heart has been guarded, heavy or tired, cacao can help you reconnect to the softness within.

She has been by my side while hosting retreats, especially during my earlier retreats when I felt like an imposter and needed encouragement to trust the process. I would have a small cup at sunrise, connect to her and to the will of the divine, trusting that whatever I do or don’t do today will be in accordance with the highest path for all sentient beings involved. Then I would surrender and let my heart lead. Because guess what? You CANNOT get lost if you are following your heart. An open heart is a portal of pure love — a channel through which the divine can speak and create. You can do any manifestation ritual you want, but if your heart is closed, you are not only creating from the mind or ego; you also cannot receive what you are trying to manifest. When you live life from the heart, the ego softens, the primal human programming quiets, and you can finally recognise when you are acting from an old pattern versus when your heart is guiding you.

The only question left is: will you have the courage to follow your heart? The Cacao Spirit can help with that too.

Of course, in EVERY retreat I host, you get to experience the wisdom and healing power of the Cacao Spirit for yourself.
If your heart is whispering ‘yes,’ I would be honoured to hold space for you.

I hope to see you in ceremony soon.

New episode of Mask Off & Exhale 🎧

In this episode, I share what heartbreak really taught me about self-love, emotional strength, and moving forward in an authentic way. Not by pretending it didn’t hurt. Not by hardening. But by learning how to love myself through the process.

This episode is for anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost, and had to rebuild themselves from the inside out.

If you’re navigating heartbreak, transition, or a big emotional chapter, this one is for you.

Listen now.

We call him Noah. A dolphin without a dorsal fin. Many ask what happened to him. Was he born like this, was it a shark attack or maybe a boating accident? The truth is we dont know. We already met him like this.

So on one of the days in Sataya last November, I swam close by and asked “What happened to you?” - the answer came immediately, I will never forget what he told me.

“Why do you ask what happened to me? It’s in the past. I don’t think about it and it is not important. My pod accept and love me as I am. They see me as whole, I am not broken”. - Noah.

The telepathic communication was so strong and clear. My human self felt embarrassed to ask him the question. Of course it doesnt matter.

There is great wisdom in what he said. We too often think about the past, carrying the pain or sadness of yesterday; worrying about judgment and not fitting in. But all of that doesnt matter. Yesterday is a memory and tomorrow is an illusion, all you have is today to focus on.

Noah doesnt care that he looks different, for he understands that our physical bodies are just an avatar for the soul. The body is made out of earthy matter and it belong to Mother Gaia, but once we transcend the human body (AKA die), we take our soul with us and there it doesnt matter what color, shape or size your body was. Your scars, your stretch marks and cellulite, none of that matters when your body dies…. But can it also cease to matter when you are still here? Can you just like Noah and his pod see beyond the avatar and see that you and those around you are much more than the body? You are an eternal spirit, a source of energy that can never die and whatever your avatar is made out of in this life time; truly does not matter in the grand scheme of the universe and all of existence.

Can you take a moment to remember that you are not alone? That you too are part of a pod that love and accept you? And if you havent found your pod yet; dont worry: your people are out there. Just make sure that you are yourself, authentic, raw and real - so that your pod can recognize you.

Someone recently asked me why I like hosting retreats so much. My whole face lit up when I thought of the answer.

I became a yoga teacher in 2018, and while I really enjoyed teaching yoga & witnessing how my students relaxed during class and left feeling lighter & more connected to themselves, I was missing the element of transformation. You see, each yoga class has the potential to change you, but as a teacher I only see a glimpse of my students’ journey. When I host an 8-day retreat, the transformation is obvious. I love seeing people open up, overcome their fears, cry & laugh with people who were strangers just a few days earlier. I love seeing the GLOW that people leave the retreat with. The regeneration of spirit is so clear. I don’t just have a 60-minute class to make sure my students feel seen, heard & loved — I have 8 days. Eight beautiful days to help you reconnect back to YOU and back to SOURCE.

The retreat schedule is designed to allow you to open up in ways you didn’t know you could. You feel, you release, you let go in the first 2–3 days, and then you fill up your cup — literally & metaphysically. I fill up your cup with ceremonial cacao & blue lotus tea, helping you connect to spirit, to your spirit guides, to the divine within, and to the sacred portal of your heart. I guide you through transformational breathwork, yoga that doesn’t just touch the body but your soul too, and every day I make sure to remind you of just how FU***NG POWERFUL YOU ARE. Everything is possible. If you can dream it, you can live it.

And when everyone goes home, I feel fulfilled knowing that together, they & I made a difference — not only in their lives, but also in the lives of their families, friends, and the world. Because when we raise our vibration, we help raise the vibration of the planet.

So there it is. Simply put, that’s why I do what I do. I thank each and every soul who has said YES to a journey with me. Thank you for being part of my soul family & choosing to BE MORE OF YOURSELF with me.
