Deep Breath Yoga

August drop,
Volver a mi 🐠

There are places that you visit and then there are places that visit you.
India has a way of doing that.

Not through monuments or bucket lists, but through the people you meet, the silence you share, the temples you wander into, the chai you drink on the side of the road, the chaos, the beauty, the unexpected.

This journey was born from our love for India and our desire to share it in the most authentic way we know.

Not just as a retreat.
Not just as a tour.
But as an immersive journey through culture, spirituality and human connection.

Together we’ll travel across four incredible destinations in South India—from the peaceful backwaters of Kerala to the powerful energy of the Isha Yoga Ashram, from the sacred presence of Arunachala to the vibrant streets of Chennai.

Along the way we’ll share what we love most, Jivamukti yoga, breathwork and meditation—not as the destination, but as practices that help us become more present for the journey itself.

Because we aren’t taking you to practice yoga in India.
We’re inviting you to meet India and allowing India to do the rest.

✧ 6-16 February 2027
✧ Maximum 8 travellers
✧ An intimate journey through South India

My dear Barcelona community, ❤️

After a year of living as a nomad, I’m finally back home for a little while… and I couldn’t be happier to share the practice with you again.

From August 10th until the end of the month, I’ll be teaching at , and my heart is so full just thinking about seeing your familiar faces again.

Retiro Alma, Bologna, luglio 2027

Il primo ritiro in Italia.
Il primo ritiro dedicato interamente a donne.

Un’esperienza che mi ha ricordato una verità semplice e potente: quando le donne si incontrano senza maschere, accade qualcosa di profondamente trasformativo.

C’è forza quando facciamo pace con le nostre radici.
C’è forza quando smettiamo di nascondere le nostre fragilità e scegliamo di mostrarci così come siamo.
C’è forza quando torniamo ad abitare il corpo, quando respiriamo insieme, quando cantiamo, quando ci lasciamo sostenere dalla natura e dalla presenza delle altre.

In quei giorni ho visto nascere connessioni sincere, occhi che si sono riconosciuti, risate, lacrime, silenzi pieni di significato. Ho visto donne ricordarsi della propria luce.

Grazie a Agriturismo Casa Vallona per averci accolte e fatto sentire a casa.
Grazie a ognuna di voi: così diversa, così unica. Siete state una fonte inesauribile di ispirazione e mi avete ricordato quanto sia prezioso creare spazi in cui possiamo semplicemente essere.

E grazie , mia partner in crime, per credere con me in ogni idea, anche in quelle che sembrano impossibili. Questo sogno prende forma grazie a te.

Torno a casa con il cuore pieno, profondamente grata.
Mi sento diversa. Più radicata. Più viva. Grazie. 🤍

Becoming love itself

In Bhakti you cultivate a desire for God, you cultivate love as a spiritual practice.

To serve and get closer to God is the only way to practice and teach yoga.

Devote yourself to some form that by mirroring your soul shows you your inner wisdom, your highest potential for inconditional love.

As Sharon Gannon writes: “The purpose of our lives is to remember who we really are – to remember our eternal connection to the supreme source – to God. This remembrance is called Self-realization, awakening, enlightenment, or Yoga.”

This is the best gift that yoga gave to me, no perfect asanas, but this deep faith and connection to something bigger than this body, this name and this life.

And this, this will never change because once you open the heart and begin to feel, it’s just so rooted in yourself that even in a world that change constantly, you know this love will always be there.

Life recently…
Yesterday was International Yoga Day, and I didn’t practice.
No 108 sun salutations, no asanas — yes, a little meditation, breathwork, but above all: love. Love for my people, my family, and the friends who know me in all my versions and love me for exactly who I am. The ones who make me feel at home. The ones who are good for my soul.
In the middle of all this nomadic life, I decided to go to a festival — France, a forest, a campsite, friends, good music. I was completely unprepared: a tent, a sleeping bag, and my yoga mat.
How long had it been since I truly felt music? Since I spent days without yoga, without responsibilities, without producing, without practicing? And in that letting go, a door opened — a reconnection with a version of myself I hadn’t seen in a long time. A version that loves music, loves to dance, loves her body, loves people regardless of how spiritual they are, and believes firmly that music and dance can unite.
And while I was there, feeling genuinely good, I understood that this, too, was yoga — if I chose to see it that way. That energy. The world as a drum, everyone moving together.
I think that somewhere in those 108 sun salutations, we’ve lost sight of what yoga actually is: Union. Love. Feeling, living.
Thank you, yoga, for these never ending teachings.
Thank you for being a constant in my life for eleven years.
Thank you for helping me connect with what truly matters.
Thank you for quieting the mind and helping me feel — this life, this love for everything that exists.
Thank you for reminding me to stay open, to not close myself inside limiting beliefs or rigid habits, to remember that life is now.

I’m so grateful 🤍🪶

Aquí está la verdadera historia detrás de la construcción de nuestra casita en Uruguay.

Lo que pensábamos hacer y lo que terminó pasando. Sin filtros, sin guion, sin preguntarme si las tomas eran buenas o malas. Sin repetir escenas. Sin planear demasiado. Sin experiencia construyendo una casa ni editando un documental.
Me da un poco de verguenza pero también me gusta tanto.

No sé muy bien para quién es este video, pero sí sé que es el recuerdo más vivo y auténtico de una de las experiencias más extraordinarias de mi vida. Un proceso de creación que me impulsa, una vez más, a creer en mis sueños y en nuestra capacidad de hacerlos realidad.

Nuestro sueño romántico de construirla solos duró poco. Por suerte aparecieron Panqui y Nato, que resultaron ser unas máquinas y sin quienes nada de esto habría sido posible.

Me habría encantado documentarlo todo y hacerlo mejor. Pero la verdad es que fue muchísimo trabajo. Mucho más intenso, duro y transformador de lo que imaginaba. Movió muchas cosas. Algunas hermosas, otras incómodas. Y todas necesarias.

Creo que, más que un video sobre construir una casa, es un video sobre la vida.

Sobre recordar que las cosas rara vez son como las imaginamos. Que pedir ayuda también es construir. Que la conexión humana es de las cosas más valiosas que existen.

Es un video imperfecto, crudo y auténtico. Es real.

Gracias a todas las personas que participaron en este proyecto, queriéndolo o sin querer.

Y gracias a vos, amor mío, Ale, por atreverte a soñar y por hacer que las cosas sucedan. Sos una inspiración.

Y también, a veces, un dolor de cabeza.

Pero mirar esta casa hoy, pensar que todo empezó siendo apenas un dibujo, me emociona profundamente y me recuerda cuánto valió la pena.

Ojalá la segunda edición salga todavía mejor. Ahora toca volver a ahorrar, porque los sueños son gratis… pero construirlos no.

Ahoooo 🤍🏡

You are a reflection of the universe:
You were created to create. And it doesn’t metter who else sees your work, or likes your work.
The value lies in how you feel when you are producing that work.
