About
At age 33, after spending my entire professional life with big IT corporations, I was the General Manager of a multinational company that started up by me from scratch. It quickly became one of the most successful businesses in the IT industry in Romania and 2 years later picked to 9 mil EUR revenue, breaking even after 18 months of operations.
I was married and had a 7 years old son. Perfect life according to some standards...
But I was completely miserable...
I was dead inside. I could not really laugh. Or cry. I couldn't feel my life.
In summer 2014 I experienced an emotional melt down on a beach on the Black See coast. My entirely being was heavily shake in deep tears as the pain I had buried so long beneath the mask of the achiever ruptured like an earthquake from my core. I couldn't go back to my old life, but had no idea where else to go.
I felt lost. I had no idea who I was anymore.
Over the next years I started to deep dive into myself and looking for the connection with my life, with myself. I lost more then 30kg in this journey. I changed my approach to friendship and personal relations. I naturally went from a sedentary lifestyle to an active amateur triathlete.
I finished the Tantralife (www.tantralife.com) modules with Rada who spent more then 20 years with her beloved master Osho. I got initiated in meditation technics which allowed me to connect with my own sensitivity and sensibility. I realized with Rada that I was finally ready to surrender my life to...well something else then my own ego.
I explored Osho more and more guided by Rada or by listening to his speeches and practicing his active meditations (Dynamic Meditation, Kundalini, Nadabrahma, Mahamudra, Nataraj, No Dimensions). I felt in love with him so much I became a sanyasi and changed my name. My name, Deva Satto, was picked by Rada and it means Devine Reality in sanskrit.
I became a Yin Yoga Certified teacher as I started to get injured after intense triathlon trainings and wanted to understand the physical pain and it's causes. I discovered Yin Yoga has the same goals and objectives as any other school of yoga; however, it directs the stimulation normally created in the asana portion of the practice deeper than the superficial or muscular tissues (which we are calling the yang tissues). Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice.
I went meeting Satyathi Peloquin, Osho's personal physiotherapist, and studied the Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) therapy and mastered the art of working deeply in the body with skill and sensitivity.
I became a MER Therapist enchanted by the capacity of deep bodywork to alleviate acute and chronic pain in the body and head.
I learned how to activate the body's natural ability for self regulation and healing with Myofascial unwinding and Trauma Healing.
I discovered a new awareness of dysfunctional patterns and beliefs that laid the foundations for my pain.
Somewhere along my journey from a General Manager to a Spiritual Lover through the dank hells of despair I rediscovered the joy of being alive and the beautiful life I came here to live.
Today, I live outside Bucharest in a small village, in the middle of a forest, close to a lake, where I also transformed the place to be the location for Satto Studio.
I realized I don't need to live isolated in a mountain to be able to meditate and live mindfully. I can live and enjoy myself everywhere. I don't need external factors to be happy. It's all in me. It's all there.
After more then 15 years within corporate world I have seen so many people who need to learn to relax. To breath. To just be. There is so much pressure from the system people are forgetting who they really are. After all this time, I can tell you this, my corporate friends:
You didn't came here to play safe until you die!
You came here to throw down and get delicious dirty!
You came here to be joyful!
You were born to live deeply. With passion. Excited for every new day. In Love with your life. In Love with you.
If you are committed to live your life fully, in your own being, accepting who you really are then...let's create magic together. Today I am here for all of you who wants to learn how to release your stress and get rid of any physical and emotional pain.
I am teaching classes of Yin Yoga and offer Myofascial Energetic Release bodywork.
I am developing a program that incorporates Osho active meditations, Tantra technics, Yin Yoga practice and MER therapy. My classes are focused on breathing and interconnection between mind, body and spirit, allowing my students to work at their own pace in a safe and transformative environment.
