MEet the fACILITATORS:
Vanessa Romero
Vanessa Romero is the inspiring founder of Soul Sanctuary, a collaborative vision with her co-creator, Katherine Wolff. Raised in San Diego, Vanessa’s journey has been shaped by resilience and transformation. Despite facing significant challenges, including the loss of her mother to addiction and experiences of trauma in her childhood, Vanessa has emerged as a beacon of hope and healing. From a young age, she cultivated a successful career as a hairstylist, starting at just 19 years old.
During this time, Vanessa also embarked on a powerful journey of self-discovery and healing, ultimately overcoming her own struggles with addiction. For the past decade, she has deepened her spiritual practice, becoming a certified Reiki practitioner four years ago. Vanessa is passionately dedicated to facilitating and empowering individuals on their paths to self-healing.
She believes in the importance of personalized approaches, guiding others to discover meditation practices that resonate with them and support their unique journeys.
For Vanessa, healing is a lifelong commitment and a profound journey rooted in the ultimate love of self and others. Her compassionate approach and commitment to transformation inspire those around her at Soul Sanctuary, as she helps individuals unlock their true potential and embrace their own practices of growth and renewal.
Alika Yarnell
The first time Alika was bathed in vibrations from a gong bath, her mind was transported to another dimension. Or that’s what it felt like. From then on, she was hooked on the other-worldly sounds from these high-vibe instruments. To further her practice, she earned her certifications in Sound Healing, Yin Yoga, and Yoga Nidra.
With a passion for the arts, Alika discovered sound baths help promote the grounding and clearing often needed when fostering creative projects—sometimes even providing new ideas and insights. She aims to share her growing collection of sound-healing tools to help others garner the wellness they seek: from deep relaxation to spiritual awakenings to creative ideas to emotional balancing and more.
In addition to sound healing and yoga, Alika can be found writing novels, volunteering at school book fairs, adding to her collections of mini perfume bottles and Pop Mart figurines, or hanging out with her family of three daughters, husband, and Boston Terrier.
Izzy Atkinson
Izzy Atkinson is a Pyramid Breath Method facilitator, trauma-informed coach, and space holder.
Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Izzy moved to California in the late summer of 2024. Izzy comes from a background in corporate America, focused on leadership development and project management, alongside over a decade in fitness and movement. She also served as President of The Soul Project, a nonprofit in Boston supporting women and young girls, and has spent the last 10 years holding space for others, much of that work centered on supporting women navigating eating disorder recovery, body image challenges, and mental health struggles.
Izzy’s journey into breathwork emerged through her own healing - after years of facilitating mental health meetups in Boston and deepening her work as a coach, she began to peel back layers of her own lived experience through grief, transition, trauma, and change. It was through this process that she first experienced the power of breathwork in her own body - as a way to regulate the nervous system, process emotions, and return to a felt sense of safety within herself.
During her transition to California, Izzy completed her breathwork teacher training - a period that coincided with one of the most challenging chapters of her life to date. Breathwork became a consistent practice of support and grounding as she moved through profound grief, heartbreak, and transformation, ultimately deepening her devotion to the work.
Today, she is dedicated to holding intentional, trauma-informed space for others to do the same. Her facilitation is also shaped by her creative work, including immersive breathwork experiences that integrate music, sound, and visualizations.
Alongside breathwork, Izzy is a creative director, artist, model, and podcast host, with a lifelong devotion to expression, storytelling, and human connection.
At the heart of her work is a commitment to helping others reconnect to their authenticity, and feel safe enough to fully express who they are.
Asana Lab
✨ Step into a space of exploration, refinement, and possibility. ✨
Join us for Asana Lab with Ellen, a monthly workshop designed for practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of yoga beyond the shape of the pose. This immersive experience offers the opportunity to slow down, break things apart, and build them back together with greater awareness, strength, and intention.
Together, we'll explore arm balances, inversions, transitions, and posture refinement through a combination of targeted drills, alignment techniques, and personalized guidance. Whether you're working toward your first crow pose, finding confidence upside down, or refining advanced movements, Asana Lab provides the space to ask questions, experiment, and discover what works best for your unique body.
Each session is shaped by the students who attend, allowing us to workshop the poses and transitions you're currently navigating in your practice. Expect a supportive environment where curiosity is encouraged, challenges become opportunities, and progress is measured not just by what you can do, but by what you learn along the way.
This is more than a skills workshop—it's an invitation to deepen your relationship with your practice, cultivate confidence, and uncover new possibilities on and off the mat.
All levels are welcome. Bring the poses you're working on, an open mind, and a willingness to explore.
Spots are limited—reserve your place below. ✨
