Somatic Breathwork

Join Deanna for a profound and powerful intro to Somatic Breathwork. Somatic Breath Therapy represents a sophisticated approach to conscious breathing, guiding individuals in achieving full, oxygen-rich breaths that benefit both the brain and body. This practice offers a range of advantages, empowering individuals to:

• Take control of their lives
• Recharge their energy
• Reduce stress, anxiety, pain, and panic
• Cultivate focused attention for greater passion in meaningful pursuits
• Enhance relaxation and sleep quality
• Facilitate recovery from trauma
• Heighten awareness of the body, fostering a positive self-perception
• Worry less, fostering feelings of peace and connection
• Integrate past experiences hindering authenticity

Moreover, Somatic Breath Therapy assists in distancing oneself from emotional reactions, tapping into the body-minds intelligence, and establishing new patterns and responses. It fosters increased freedom of expression, connection to one’s true self, and an overall sense of personal empowerment.

Somatic breathwork is a therapeutic approach aimed at revealing the profound impact of our breath on our emotions and reciprocally, the influence of our emotions on our breath. Rooted in non-Western traditions, this mind-body practice underscores the correlation between our physical sensations and our emotional and mental states.

Deanna, Founder - Joya

Deanna discovered Yoga during one of the most challenging periods of her life. At the time, she and her husband were deeply involved in the real estate market—her husband working as a Real Estate Broker, while she worked for a mortgage bank. They owned multiple homes and several Real Estate offices across California. However, when the market crashed in 2008, they lost everything. It was the lowest point in her life. She was feeling deeply depressed after being laid off, just a few months after having a baby. She was also at her heaviest weight.

Years earlier, a close friend who had practiced Yoga for many years had encouraged her to try it. Two weeks after attending her first Hot Yoga class, she was completely hooked. Yoga became a lifeline, helping her through her darkest days. Within her first month of consistent practice, she realized she wanted to one day become a teacher and own her own studio. She felt compelled to share this transformative practice that had brought her so much love, peace, and confidence.

Today, she is fulfilling her dream as a successful Yoga & Wellness studio owner, with multiple thriving locations and plans for continued growth. She has transformed her life, achieving what once seemed like "impossible" dreams, and is deeply passionate about guiding others on their own spiritual fitness journeys. Through her teachings, she inspires others to harness the power of visualization to create the life they truly desire.

Deanna also leads transformative Yoga and Spiritual Awakening retreats around the world. Her spiritual journey has taken her to study with indigenous tribes in Brazil, Peru, Mexico, and the United States, immersing herself in their profound teachings. Her greatest joy lies in bringing healing and raising awareness of the powerful connection between the mind, body, and spirit.
