Come into right relationship
with your body, your patterns,
and your life.
Somatic and yoga-based practices to help you meet what life brings
with more awareness, capacity, and choice.
Most people arrive here after realizing insight alone isn’t enough.
You may understand why you feel or respond the way you do—and still find yourself caught in the same patterns.
Patterns don’t live only in our thoughts. They show up in our relationships, our bodies, our breathing, and the ways we brace, disconnect, overextend, or hold back.
Anxiety, depression, tension, and disconnection are not always problems to fix. Sometimes they are signals, like guard dogs barking at the door— pointing toward something that needs our attention.
The aim of this work is not to become a perfectly regulated person.
It is to build the capacity to feel, move, and respond with more choice—and to come into a more honest relationship with yourself and your life.
A Long Weekend of Breath, Body & Inner Knowing
BREATH & SOMA
Labor Day weekend · September 4–7, 2026

Sometimes the clearest thing you can do is stop trying to think your way through it.
Join us for a small, deeply supported weekend of gentle, conscious, connected breathing, somatic practice, nourishing meals, mountain air, and time to listen inward.
Stay for the full weekend or come for a day. Babies in arms are welcome.

Hi, I’m Vanda.
I’m a somatic practitioner and yoga therapist based in Carbondale, Colorado, working both in person and online.
I have spent more than fifteen years studying and teaching yoga, meditation, breath, and body-based approaches to health and well-being. My training includes an 800-hour yoga therapy program and more than 1,200 hours of study in Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery, alongside somatic and developmental movement, Yoga Nidra, EFT, and self-hypnosis.
Yoga therapy uses the tools of yoga—adapted postures and movement, pranayama and other breath practices, meditation, mudra, guided rest, and inquiry—to address symptoms while supporting the health and well-being of the whole person.
Sessions are experiential and shaped around what is happening for you. Conversation helps us understand where to begin; then we work with the body through movement, breath, attention, and practice.
I’m also a mother of two and a recovering serial entrepreneur. I care about practices that hold up in real life, not only when everything is quiet and going according to plan.
