move
Dru Yoga
Dru Yoga is more than just movement—it’s a profound healing experience that brings your body, mind, heart, and soul into a natural state of harmony.
With soft, flowing sequences, focused breath, and visualisation, Dru meets you exactly where you are.
It’s inclusive, nurturing, and designed for every body—no matter your age, experience, or level of flexibility.
You can join me in person at my boutique classes in Essendon or flow with us from the comfort of your home in our weekly online class.
Wherever you are, this is your space to move gently, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your essence.
pause
Soulful Retreats
In a world that glorifies busyness, we often forget to pause—to breathe, to feel, to simply be. We say yes to commitments seeking connection… but what we’re really craving is reconnection—with ourselves.
That’s where the magic of retreat begins.
In the stillness. In the space between.
I love curating soulful experiences that nourish your body, quiet your mind, and awaken your heart.
Whether it’s a one-day gathering or a full weekend immersion, each retreat is a blend of gentle movement, intentional stillness, heart-opening connection, and powerful reflection.
It’s a space to unplug from the noise, stretch out of your comfort zone, and return to life feeling refreshed, realigned, and more you.
evolve
Mentoring
Together with my dear friend Tash Cook, we created SoulWork as a sacred space for transformation—for those moments in life when the old no longer fits, and the new hasn’t yet arrived.
We know how hard it can be to face change… to let go of what was, and meet the unknown with grace. But resisting change only keeps us stuck.
SoulWork is here to help you soften that resistance and build the resilience to rise.
To reconnect with your truth.
To adapt, evolve, and move through life’s transitions with more courage, clarity, and compassion.
Through our signature programs—Metamorphosis and EMF—we hold space for you to grow from the inside out, in community, with support, and in rhythm with your soul.
Community News & Gatherings
Consciousness Mentoring | Feb 17th
Six months of deep realignment of body, mind and heart.
Do you feel stressed, exhausted, disconnected? Do you quietly wonder… How did I get here?
Our Consciousness Mentoring Program (EMF) is a six-month guided exploration of your inner world—designed to help you stop blaming, let go of control, and start living in alignment with who you are. Through a powerful blend of neuroscience, emotional mastery, and personal transformation, you'll learn how to:
- Rewire the subconscious beliefs keeping you stuck
- Reconnect to your truth—not the roles you play
- Realign your life with what actually matters to you
You don’t need another mental hack. You need space to breathe. To feel. To be seen in community. A new way forward that’s aligned, alive, and truly yours.
Aligned Vision and Cacao | Feb 27th
An Immersive Experience with Deanna and Mariana
Are you ready to gallop into 2026 with intention rather than hustle? Join us for an intimate afternoon designed to bridge the gap between your heart’s whispers and your physical reality. Through the ancient healing of a Cacao Circle, the clarity of Visioning, and the grounding of Conscious Movement, we will anchor your dreams for the next nine-year cycle.
Autumn Retreat | March 27-29, 2026
We’re returning to the beauty of Myrtleford, surrounded by the mesmerising colours of Autumn in Victoria’s High Country.
Living Lighter is the intention for our Autumn Retreat, and I’ve realised there’s a secret practice that makes it possible: Self-Compassion.
This retreat will be a journey into cultivating compassion for ourselves, so we can extend this high-frequency energy to our loved ones and to the world around us.
February's Intention: The Fire Horse is Here!
Can you feel the shift in the air? We have officially entered the Year of the Fire Horse—a rare, high-octane portal of transformation that hasn't graced us since 1966.
This year isn't just about moving fast; it’s about a sacred transmutation. It’s about burning through the "shoulds" to reveal your raw, authentic truth. But how do we ride this powerful energy without losing ourselves in the hustle?
Join me on the blog as I share a personal story from 2020, the wisdom of the "Still Point," and how to follow your excitement to the best of your ability—with no expectation of the outcome.
Hey!
I am Mariana.
I am so honoured that you are here and I know it is not a coincidence...
Maybe a gentle whisper from your body is asking you to move more freely. A loud scream in your mind is pleading you to slow down and pause more often. Maybe your soul is so uncomfortable in a life three sizes smaller and it is asking you to expand those wings and evolve!
Regardless of the reason, I celebrate you for listening.
I trust that you found your way to these pages as a path that will bring you closer to who you truly are. I see your unlimited potential and the greatness of your life.
It will be my honour to walk this journey by your side so that you can see it too.
