I know what it feels like to be disconnected from yourself.

Not dramatically. Not in a way that anyone would notice from the outside. But in that quiet, persistent way — where you move through your days feeling slightly removed from your own life. Where your body carries something your mind cannot name.

I grew up in Hungary as an extremely shy, deeply sensitive child. My father was an alcoholic, and our home was filled with tension, fear, and a particular kind of silence that children learn quickly — the silence of making yourself small. I learned early that it wasn't safe to be seen. So I turned inward.

I found refuge in books, in meditation, in the unseen world. I was opening upwards — spiritually, energetically — from a very young age. That part came easily to me. What was harder was being here. In the body. On the ground. Present in this world.

My spiritual guidance used to tell me, again and again: come back into your body. With your feet on the ground. That is the only way.

I resisted for a long time. It was easier to be open upward than to be fully, vulnerably present here.

What brought me back was movement. Sound. Breath. Not as concepts — as lived experience. The first time I encountered crystal singing bowls, I felt something massive trembling in my heart. I couldn't speak for hours. Something that had been held for years began to loosen.

And slowly — through yoga, through breathwork, through sound, through learning to inhabit my own body rather than float above it — I began to understand what I'd been missing. Not connection to something above. Connection to myself. Right here. Grounded, breathing, alive.

That is what I want for you.

I'm Piroska Shakti Akasha — nervous system guide, certified breathwork facilitator, sound therapist, and yoga teacher. I live in Tuscany — I came here for love, and love became home. The sea has always been part of how I find my way back to myself, and it is woven into everything I do here.

I work with sensitive, soulful women who feel everything deeply — and who have spent years being everything for everyone else. Women who are longing, quietly and urgently, to feel at home in themselves again.

My work is rooted in the understanding that you cannot think your way back to yourself. The nervous system doesn't respond to willpower or insight. It responds to breath. To sound. To the felt sense of safety in the body. That is where we begin — always.

I hold certifications in yoga across multiple traditions and lineages (E-RYT 200, RYT 500), a 400-hour breathwork facilitator training, and a 300-hour sound therapy certification. I am currently completing advanced training in somatic yoga and somatic healing — the modalities that sit at the heart of the next chapter of this work.

You are not too sensitive for this world. You are a sensitive woman who needs a nervous system that feels safe. That is what we build — together, through the body, one breath at a time.
