About your facilitators
CONNIE: I'm Constanza Causa, born and raised in the Atacama desert of Chile, lands of mysticism and silence. I moved to New Zealand following my love for mountains when I was 23, and ever since I've been taking people outdoors and inwards through the practice of yoga, meditation and plant medicine journeys.
My yoga journey began when I was 16 witnessing how my sister healed from a very traumatic experience, ever since I knew that this will be my path and my dharma to share with people a yogic lifestyle and love for nature. So I began to study different yogic ways and learn more about plant medicine and healing arts with different masters in Peru, USA, Bali and New Zealand (learning that still continues).
As a mother this dharmic journey became priority, knowing that this way of living will influence the way my daughter perceives the world and her wellbeing. I truly believe that the yogic path and love for nature is not just a personal practice, is a community spiritual practice, where we can share our values to walk life with integrity, freedom, harmony and peace; and all begins within.
I've had the honor and privilege to share yoga, meditation and medicine circles at many yoga studios, corporates, prisons and privates around New Zealand and Chile, taught at multiple festivals during the last decade, and lived in some communities that work towards a more sustainable and peaceful future.
One of my passions is the universe of the mind, how it works, how to train it and specially how to access different states of consciousness to unblock, understand and wider our perception of life, creating more peace internally and a clearer way to live in deep awareness rooted in presence, which is part of our true essence.
In deep gratitude, here to serve,
Constanza Causa

DAVID: I am David Schneider, born and raised in Germany. Growing up in a little village in the countryside and having been part of the scouts I spent most of my childhood and youth outdoors, finding deep connection to nature. Besides that, my connection to nature and interest in other cultures then also grew through many smaller and bigger trips and journeys around Europe and in my twenties to many other countries in Africa and many trips to China.
Following this love for nature and the passion for facilitating group and individual internal processes in natural environments I started working in the field of outdoor and experiential education with all age groups. That led into the establishment of an organisation for child- and youthwork and experiential education which is still running successfully offering different programs for individual and group processes in various environments.
With a three-year coaching training I went through an insightful process of looking deeper and deeper into my own patterns, behaviours, attitudes and values. I came to discover more and more of my true inner self and having gone through this process I feel grounded and skilled to hold space and guide individual processes for others and accompany deep and powerful inner journey´s on the way to find more inner clarity, grounding, and awareness of one owns patterns, behaviours and attitudes to be able to handle and deal with everyday challenges and stressors in a more calm, relaxed and effective way and learn to perceive them as opportunities for growth on the way of self-evolution.
On the continuation of my search for my true inner self, I embarked on a deeper spiritual journey about seven years ago, exploring many different spiritual traditions from Sufism to Buddhism and finding eventually my spiritual home in the ancient wisdom of yoga. Since then, I have an ever-growing curiosity and passion about it´s philosophy and precious and encompassing practices having been preserved for humans to support them raise their level of consciousness and deepen their awareness of and with everything in day-to-day life.
I have explored the yogic wisdom in many different trainings, from classic hatha, to tantric hatha, mantra, yin yoga, the practices of pranayama, meditation and yoga nidra and yogic sadhanas and ceremonies.
I enjoy teaching this yogic wisdom and holding experiential spaces for self-exploration, self-reflection, growth and learning on all levels with head, heart, hand and soul. In these spaces getting to know and explore life and the human journey as a holistic experience.
My mission is serving and supporting others in their processes of self-exploration supporting growth and evolution of consciousness on all levels.
In gratitude,
David Schneider

JUAN: Hola!
My name is Juan David Diaz you can call me Juan (pronounced Huan) I have dedicated my entire life journey to connect with the source of creation and how to have a direct experience and relationship with It.How to tap into this innate creative energy to manifest and exercise our full potential as a human beings an experience a fulfilling life and share that with others. That has taken me to study the teachings of ancient and modern traditions that have done the work themselves and have put it in simple and systemic maps to reach our full potential as humans.
One of these traditions is Yoga. I found this Yoga as a discipline 17 years ago and since then have practiced and studied with teachers all around the world. Completed a few teacher trainings in NZ and overseas and the journey continues as Yoga is not something that you know is something that you are and every day we have the opportunity to embody it!.
I have been teaching for the last 8 years in NZ and all around the world. I am passionate about sharing these tools with every human that I come across,as these tools have changed and saved my life.
I love creating spaces that catalyse physical, mental and spiritual growth to remind us of our essential nature, pure pristine perfection. I know that all that we are looking for is within us, we just simply have to remember and realise this truth in order to make progress and have the willingness to take the steps to enjoy the perfumes of our soul, happiness. joy, contentment, prosperity and abundance. To me this is what we are here for and is an act of love, gratitude and devotion towards the fact that in this lifetime we have the privilege of embodying a human form and in this human form we have the power to choose and the most advanced equipment (body and mind) to experience heaven on earth and uplift our vibration and of our beautiful planet Earth.
Join me in and together let’s ignite the flame of our hearts' truest desire and fulfil our life purpose.
With love,
Juan
