The second chakra is connected with creativity, creation and emotions. This is essential for our wellbeing and for deepening our authentic relationships with each other.

"My experience of Sianna and Masood as leaders, guides, and teachers is phenomenal. It was deep and touched my soul. They offered the space I needed to connect to the sacred and to Mother Earth.”
JC Rawady
"I have been on 2 retreats with Sianna, Masood and the Rasa Yoga Collective. I can honestly say that they were life changing. Both retreats were in Glastonbury, the first in 2017 and the second in 2018. The retreats were extremely well organized and the supporting teachers were outstanding. The food and accommodations were excellent. Sianna, Masood and the Rasa team couldn’t have been more gracious and welcoming as hosts and I would not hesitate to do another retreat with them in the future. A retreat with Sianna, Masood and Rasa Yoga is an unforgettable, life-changing experience and I can’t wait for the opportunity to do another one.”

The ceremony masters offer us their ancestral knowledge in this special practice and respect for Mother Earth.The ceremonies of offerings, or despacho’s, commonly acknowledged by the Andeanpopulation as payments to the Earth or Pachamama, are rituals of ancestral origin that are part of a system of reciprocity between the material world and the spiritual world.
