Sylvia De Marco

Wellness Center Founder + Ayurvedic Consultant + Yoga Teacher

Her passion was crafting unique experiences that made others feel the importance of wellness. In one way or another, she had been preparing for this her entire life. She had changed careers and interests a few times. She loved everything from her past, but not one thing would fully satisfy her. She went to art school, later trained and worked as a sommelier, and after some incredible twists and swirls, she made it into the movie industry designing movie sets. This led her to restaurant design and eventually to her first hotel.

She saw how everything she had explored and done in her life was a key element in what she did then. She was finally and completely fulfilled by what she did: she created experiences to remind and connect others with the inherent joy in everyday living.

When she started her journey with Ayurveda, she had no idea what life had in store for her. As she deepened into Ayurveda practices, she had a constant feeling of remembering. The body and soul remembered their natural state of ease and flow. Through Ayurveda, she discovered that finding joy and harmony in the modern existence was a lot easier than she thought. She simply had to go back to basics. Ayurveda and its yoga practices were one with nature and its natural processes and cycles.

One of her biggest joys was sharing her yoga practice with others. For her, yoga was the practice of connecting with the body, and from that deep connection, she could further connect to her spirituality. Yoga was a tool of embodiment, a space to integrate life and all its experiences, the beauty and sorrow, and all the ups as well as downs. It was an honor for her to guide others into this practice, into inhabiting their bodies with intention and awareness.
