Happy Sunday lotus collective!!!🪷✨ We can’t believe that the studio officially opens THIS WEEK and we will be teaching in the space. It’s a surreal moment that we made it to this point😭 All of the love and support from YOU has lead us to this moment and we can’t wait to celebrate and be on the mat with you.

As we’re starting, this next month we will be testing out different times, classes, days, etc. We want to hear feedback from you on what classes you want more of and what days/times you’d love as well. We have already added one other yoga teacher and breathwork facilitator, so as we grow, we will be able to offer more time slots and an array of different styles and classes. Every class rooted in mental health, community, connection, and love.

You all are with us on this journey of growth, learning, and healing. So please know we’re an open door for feedback! 💓

The lotus flower holds deep, sacred significance across various cultures, primarily representing purity, spiritual awakening, rebirth, and resilience. Tuscany and Brielle expressed their interest in the flower (Tuscany has had the Lotus tattoo for years on her ankle!) and shared some inspirations with Getulio upon signing the contract for the space. That’s when the process began! G began to make different designs on Canva and they got to the image.

He had a student help him trace the image in a special designing tool. Next, he went at night to the studio and projected the image on the wall. Once the lines were there, he grabbed the paintbrushes, the two theme colors, and made his magic. ✨

After this, he moved onto giving the details to the rest of the studio: the altar, bathroom portals (sun and moon), and our powerful message “you are worthy, you are loved”.

What you see today is the whole idea of the studio and what the collective means: a place for rebirth, spiritual awakening, purity, and resilience.

Come join us. Use the link to grab your membership and be one of the first members at $95 for unlimited breathwork and yoga!

🎨 Thank you Getulio for putting so much love and effort into the studio! The absolute best!!🪷💗

Remember our reel a few weeks ago about who does it all? We DO!! 😂😴 now you all get to see behind the scenes, real time struggles, us hitting capacity, and showing how as much as we did we hit some breaking points. We decided to save money and not hire a website developer and built the website ourselves! We had to figure out 3 different integrations to include payment, scheduling, and website. Let’s just say, we get why people hire website developers LOL but special shoutout to one of my best friends for helping us in a bind and my sister for giving it some TLC! This is where we learned, we need to ask for help and not keep running in circles with this.

Our point is, yes, we do it all, but we also ask our tribe for help and are taking this with us as we continue of knowing our capacity and not getting to burn out.

A labor of love for this Lotus Community that was worth it ALL! 🪷✨

🌿 Meet the Women’s Circle Holders | Sacred Mountain Institute 🌿

✨ Meet Brielle Brasil ✨
Co-Facilitator for the May Women’s Circle

We’re honored to share that Brielle Brasil will be co-facilitating our May Women’s Circle gathering as part of the Sacred Mountain Institute Spring Series.

Brielle is a Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator and Co-Founder & CEO of The Lotus Collective and Essence Retreats, known for creating deeply safe, nurturing spaces for healing, emotional expression, and nervous system regulation.

Her work is rooted in lived experience—through her own healing journey into body trust, emotional expression, and embodiment. Shaped by motherhood, global facilitation, and years of trauma-informed practice, Brielle brings a grounded, attuned presence that allows women to soften, share, and be seen without pressure or urgency.

Within the circle, Brielle serves as a co-facilitator and container-holder, supporting the emotional and energetic safety of the space with clarity, compassion, and care. Drawing on her expertise in breathwork, somatic healing, and nervous system regulation, she gently guides women through practices that support release, reconnection, and deeper self-trust—always honoring the wisdom and pace of the body.

She lived abroad for seven years in Colombia and the Dominican Republic, where her healing era and breathwork journey began. It was in Medellín, Colombia, that she deepened her work, met her Brazilian soulmate, and anchored the heart-centered practice she now brings into sisterhood spaces around the world.

We’re grateful to have Brielle co-facilitating our May circle, bringing her trauma-informed leadership and embodied wisdom into the Sacred Mountain Institute community.

✨ Join us this Spring and experience a circle held with safety, depth, and reverence for the feminine.

We want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of the love last night and continually through this process😭 It was so special to have the first look for the community who have supported us and believed in our mission from the beginning. From Founding Supporters, Founding Members, our partners and children, our family, really special friends, other teachers and guides we admire in the community, people who have been a huge part of our journey to get here, to Cory for making beautiful built in shelves and the altar, to Anna for making amazing cacao and having a beautiful set up for the community and being generous enough to be there for us, to Heath and Lisa for setting up their Equipment to DJ and always being a support, to Brielle’s parents for the food and setting up, to everyone who has helped along the way THANK YOU! This has been a team effort and it hasn’t been easy, but everything coming together last night made it all worth it.

It was really emotional having everyone in the space and seeing our dream come to life. But actually seeing life force and energy of you all in there really was the defining moment. We love and appreciate you all soooo much!!! For the ones who couldn’t make it, we start classes February 24th! Schedule is live, founding memberships are live for the first 50 people $95 locked in price! Already have sold some yaya!!🥹

Now, we can’t wait to share behind the scenes of the studio, all the details, who did what, and journey that got us to this point. Can’t wait to continue the journey with you all!!!! We love you!!

The best things in life take devotion and committed unwavering faith

Yesterday when we pulled up to our studio and our official sign was up, the tears started flowing

There’s been a lot of tears the past few weeks for both of us, from exhaustion, overwhelm, questioning what we got ourselves into, fear, grief of letting go of certain chapters of motherhood

But yesterday the tears were from pure gratitude and joy of everything that’s had to happen, our team of people coming in (everything in perfect timing 💫) just on time, and all the hard work and devotion that went into building this dream from the ground up

It was a surreal moment seeing our sign up and makes this feel incredibly REAL now 😍😍🥹🥹

Even though doubt and fear crept in… a LOT these past weeks… we kept telling ourselves that it’s all happening in perfect timing and visualizing the finished studio

And here we are, the day of our opening… and it’s all come together 🥹😍

Don’t ever doubt your dreams! Don’t ever give up even when it gets really hard! So excited to welcome many of you in tonight to celebrate and to officially open our doors for classes in just over a week!

PS- stay tuned, because we’ll be releasing the full peak inside the studio here in the next couple of days! 👀👀
