about isabella
Dance to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful… This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking”
Agnes De Mille
Hi beloved ones.
I am Isabella - a wild child, spiritual seeker, eternal traveller. A born lover of motion, yoga found her over 14 years ago in my search for healing, returning to embodiment and integrating trauma - today sharing my own experience has become her life’s purpose.
I am an international 500h+ E-RYT AuthenticFlow teacher (in completion), 300h Bhakti Vinyasa certified, embodied yoga and somatics facilitator, and space holder for feminine mysticism, non-dual tantric meditation, Embodied Mama®️, Embodied Yin®️ and Shake the Dust®️ experiences.
My teachings are driven by the somatic concepts of the Body Mind Centering (BMC) school and the principles of Embodied Flow. I am or was learning with Satu Tuomela, Hareesh, Sally Kempton and Tara Judelle. I further studied Bhakti Yoga and sound activation, rendering mantras, vibrations and voice key elements of her teaching. I hold and accompanies Kirtans - the devotional chanting of mantras and integrates mantras in every day and every class.
My immersions, classes and experiences offered are artful creations of feminine frequency work, somatics, embodied yoga, sacred sound, dance and the non-dual tantric philosophy. They are designed to cultivate the fluid feminine, mystical, wildly intuitive in us and to embrace our lunar, soft qualities and ancient knowing. The roots and ultimate purpose of my own and taught practice is to awaken consciousness on the cellular level, in our organs, systems and physical structure of our body; ultimately her containers aim to foster transformation and to AWAKEN in this life to our most authentic Self.
Why I practice & teach
Compassion
Yoga is my method to explore my limits and my own and the merging with universal consciousness.
It enables me to cultivate the balance between perseverance and surrender in order to find, accept to or overcome obstacles.
Devoting total awareness to embodied sensations & stories and the linkage of breath, mind and movement I find yoga to be a key instrument to learn the long-lost language of emotional awareness, intuition and somatic intelligence. To teach this is one of my key drivers to do what I love.
Nourishment
Discover and live up to my own inherent, soft nature and its beauty which is here to nourish me and the world.
To embody the mother current that can hold all stories, create safe space and re-cultivate the ancient wisdom of the earth body.
To facilitate this inner knowing and nourishing power in each woman who is prepared to open to her inherent, ancient qualities of the divine mother.
Intuition
Yoga provides a toolset for consolidating the stories, experiences and encounters in my life, mind, body, spirit and heart.
At the center of this all rests the practice of embodiment: to overcome the duality of mind and body and to re-establish the inherent interaction between them through breath and movement. I find integration to be a key element in my life to
