Hi, I’m Roya.
My name means “dream” in Persian - which I resonate with a lot. I’ve always lived with a sense of wonder and curiosity, following my dreams, both big and small and searching for the deeper meaning in life.
Growing up in Vienna with Irish and Iranian roots, I’ve always felt both at home and somehow restless - as if life had more to show me. Before I set off travelling, I came across a study that asked people at the end of their lives about their biggest regrets. The most common answer was not having lived the life they truly wanted - holding back because of fear, doubt or limiting beliefs. That touched me deeply and it became a driving force in my life to live my life as fully and authentically as I can, to keep asking myself what was holding me back, and to face the stories and beliefs that block me from truly living the life I want to be living.
That drive led me across many journeys - from living and studying psychology in Ireland, to Brazil, to van life in Europe, to long stretches in India, and much more. I loved the adventures, the excitement, the unknown and uncertainty of this life style. And yet, something in me was always searching for something more, something I could not quite put into words.
That search eventually led me to conscious connected breathwork. From the very beginning I knew this was my path. It showed me that what I had been looking for all along wasn’t to be found in the outside, but within me. Through the breath, I can meet parts of myself I never knew existed, feel a home within me and return to the present moment - allowing me to feel alive in a way little else can provide.
Alongside breathwork I discovered my love for acroyoga, which I now teach and share with great passion.
When I’m not holding breathwork sessions or playing in the flow of acroyoga, you will probbaly find me dancing in the kitchen, my living room or at ecstatic dances.
Whenever I get the chance, I love to be in nature - one of the places I feel most fulfilled, at peace and connected to the magic of life.
