The Language of Ecstasy
February 3-8, 2026
Ecstasy as the state to enter into the erotic energy which is the state of pure creation.
The intention is to learn how we can enter into the ecstasy naturally and becoming the co creators of our life, by practicing Shamanic Yoga. Reaching our goals in life supported by this intense journey into the Self. Letting go something, a belief, a bad habit, an old story, to make new space for realizing our mission, which at the end is always the pure unconditional love.
Ecstasy is a natural state that leads people beyond the mind, into an expanded state of consciousness. It is in this dimension of consciousness that we can perceive the non-duality, a dimension necessary for a creative state of love and freedom.
We will experiment with Shamanic Yoga to “enter” the state of ecstasy naturally. This is possible thanks to the two fundamental moments of Shamanic Yoga: the physical-corporeal “son” experience, which consists of the practice of fluid sequences. The fluid sequences are inspired by the movements of animals. The “mother” experience, on the other hand, is the visionary experience, where the imagination will be used primarily, transporting us into a direct dialogue with the soul.
Another prerogative of Shamanic Yoga is the entrance into the “Imaginal Forest,” which itself represents an expanded state of consciousness. We will do this by transcending the limits of the rational mind and connecting with the poetic mind.

My journey with yoga began over a decade ago. I was already a passionate student of philosophy, and I was intrigued by the “noumenal,” invisible, aspect of reality.
My first encounter with yoga took place at an Iyengar Yoga center, thus taking a modern approach to the discipline, an approach I continue to foster, as a lover of movement in all its forms. However, it was with my philosophy professor that I began to understand that yoga dealt precisely with the invisible world. Thanks to this great source of inspiration, I further deepened my research, eventually graduating with a degree in philosophy with a thesis on yogic studies. The thesis topic was “Samadhi in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.”
I had the chance to experiment the Samadhi, which I consider a state of union and non-duality with the Divine, despite the dualistic vision of the Patanjali’s Sutras. The Samadhi experience cannot be explained in this short bio.
Although I completed my first teacher training in Hatha Yoga and Yin Yoga in 2018, and in Vinyasa Yoga in 2019, my soul felt that something important was missing. It was only with the encounter with the Imaginal Academy, which took place in 2023, that the calling became stronger than anything else. What was missing was initiation into a true ancient yoga lineage. With the Imaginal Academy, my period of study and practice of Shamanic Yoga, Family Constellations, Mindfulness, and Imaginal Time Travel began. This is what I bring with me to serve those who feel they want to take an authentic journey into their soul. If we contain the universe within us, then we are dealing with infinity. The more I navigate my inner self, the more I realize that there are timeless portals, portals that connect us to our ancestors, to everything our consciousness has embodied and will eventually embody again. In all of this lies the void, which is not nothingness, but the very essence of who we are, of the universe, and the dimension through which it is possible to exist. Constantly searching, always on the move, I will welcome you with love to journey together into the invisible and encounter all the fragments of the soul.
