Message from Berta

The vast combination of all my years on this journey we call life has without a doubt brought me here to this place we call Jiiva ( individual soul). I feel honored to share and teach those of you that are, as well, in search of a higher purpose in life. 

I dreamt of creating a space where healing on all levels was possible through education of the body, mind and soul. For me, the combination of yoga, reiki and nutrition are the vital tools we need to create balance and wholeness in a way you may have never imagined.

It has become my passion and life's work. I am blessed beyond blessed.
