About Me

Hi there, welcome!

I am Mazie Soto, I have been intrigued with health and wellness from a very young age. I began practicing yoga during my college years. While I thought working out 2-3 hrs. twice to three times a week was healthy, my healing journey has shown me a different, more compassionate path to wellness.  It all began over a decade ago with a skin rash, eczema, that wouldn't heal with Western medicine and led me to seek alternatives.

Through consultations with holistic/integrative practitioners, acupuncture, energy healing, psychotherapy, and dietary changes I discovered that in order to heal the skin rash all of the bodies needed to be addressed (physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual). 

These lifestyle changes led me to self awareness and to seek mind-body balance. Yoga is where I found balance and grounding, and in 2015 led me to become a yoga teacher. I hope to share the beautiful gifts of yoga; harmony, strength, self-awareness, and balance. 

My work is a reflection of the practices that have allowed me to heal physically, mentally, and spiritually. These practices are Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and conscious eating and living, and my path is to create offerings that are inclusive, permissive, accessible, and compassionate to both the Spanish and English speaking communities.
