Meet the retreat host

Viivi Amanda Svala is a warm adventurer at heart, deeply inspired by music, movement, and the world around her. For the past seven years, she has explored life with curiosity across different parts of the globe, while building her company Koti Shala — an online studio offering yoga and pilates, a retreat agency creating meaningful experiences and nourishing teacher trainings.

Viivi has over ten years of experience working with the human body. First as a registered nurse and later as a yoga (RYT500) and pilates teacher. Through her own experience of burnout, she awakened to how many people move through life on autopilot, simply rushing through their days. She sees herself as a messenger of softness, whose souls purpose is to help others slow down — only then does the space open to truly sense, and for life to unfold naturally.

Water is her favourite element and she she wants to live by the waves. She describes herself as a ”Sunday surfer”, because she really loves small, mellow waves and longborading. Viivi wants to return to the Maldives next autumn for surfing and free diving ~ and you are invited with her. <3
