John "Jc" Rivera, the Owner and Founder, has traversed the globe, delving into the realms of Yoga and Sound Healing, fostering a deep understanding through exploration and firsthand experience. Introduced to Yoga during his formative years in High School, where its benefits enhanced his athletic endeavors, Rivera's journey transcended mere physicality as he discovered its profound impact on his inner well-being. Recognizing Yoga as a source of serenity and tranquility, his curiosity expanded into holistic healing modalities.
In 2019, Rivera's quest led him to Panama, where he encountered a Sound Healing Shaman and underwent his inaugural session of sound therapy. This transformative experience ignited a fervent dedication to exploring and mastering the intricacies of Sound Healing and Therapy. Subsequently, he embarked on a series of journeys to Guatemala, Peru, and Nepal, immersing himself in the teachings of esteemed practitioners across disciplines such as Yoga, Sound Healing, Bodywork, and Alternative Medicines.
Rivera's profound encounters and tireless pursuit of knowledge have propelled him on a transformative trajectory, enriching his understanding and practice of holistic healing arts.
In December 2021, John embarked on a transformative journey to Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, where he participated in a comprehensive 200HR YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) program offered by the School Yoga Institute. Hosted at the renowned Mystical Yoga Farm, this unique curriculum seamlessly integrated elements of Yoga, Peruvian Shamanism, and the Native American Medicine Wheel.
Throughout the program, John immersed himself in the teachings, mastering two distinct asana sequences: the Mystical Hatha Flow, characterized by its slow, meditative approach rooted in Sivananda principles, and the Mystical Vinyasa Flow, known for its dynamic, breath-synchronized movements. This immersive experience not only deepened his understanding of yoga but also broadened his holistic approach to healing and spiritual growth.
In January 2022, John embarked on another transformative journey, this time to the Sacred Valley of Peru, where he enrolled in the 300HR YTT program with the Indra Yoga Institute. Blending Trauma-Informed work and Ayurveda with classical lineage and Yoga Philosophy, the program empowered John to delve deeper into his practice and broaden his understanding of holistic healing. Through immersive coursework, including Ayurvedic Lifestyle Foundational Training, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and Social Justice Activism, John emerged not only as a certified yoga teacher but as a compassionate leader committed to promoting inclusivity and accessibility for all.
In September 2023, John embarked into Nepal, seeking deeper understanding and enlightenment at the revered Himalayan Yoga Academy in Kathmandu. Enrolling in a 500 HR Yoga Teacher Training program, he immersed himself in a comprehensive curriculum designed to unravel the mysteries of yoga's ancient wisdom. Guided by seasoned instructors, John went beyond the physical practice, exploring the subtleties of pranayama and meditation, learning to harness the power of breath and mindfulness to access deeper states of consciousness.
Delving into the rich tapestry of ancient texts and scriptures, he drank deeply from the wellspring of wisdom left behind by sages and mystics of ages past. Through rigorous study and introspection, he honed his teaching skills, mastering the art of crafting transformative experiences for future students.
Surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas and guided by the vibrant spiritual heritage of Nepal, John's journey became a profound odyssey of self-discovery and transformation.

Under the guidance of renowned instructor Swami Padmasattva, a master in sound healing and Reiki, John completed Level 1 and Level 2 Professional Sound Healing Therapy, Sound Healing, and Meditation Certification Courses. These immersive programs provided him with a deep understanding of the healing power of sound and meditation techniques, enriching his holistic approach to well-being.
