AN IMMERSIVE TO AWAKEN THE GUIDE WITHIN

🧜🏽‍♀️ MEET NEELOU

I came to breathwork through grief, ritual, and the teachings of my grandmother — my best friend and greatest teacher. She taught me the art of sacred smoke, of taking responsibility for your own energy and the vibration you bring into the world. That lineage lives at the heart of everything I do.

I'm a certified breathwork, Hatha, and Kundalini yoga teacher with over nine years of experience leading breathwork, sacred smoke, and mindfulness workshops for individuals, groups, and corporations — across the US, Canada, Western Europe, and online communities around the globe.

I'm also the founder of SMUDGED, author of The Art of Sacred Smoke, and have collaborated with brands including UNICEF, Alo Yoga, Soho House, 1 Hotels, and more. My work has been featured in Harper's Bazaar, US Weekly, and beyond.

But more than any of that — I've sat with hundreds of people in the breath. I know what it means to hold sacred space. And I take that responsibility seriously.
