    The First Dance

    Welcome to our podcast! When we met for a month of Costa Rican beachside, sunrise yoga lessons during an escape from the pandemic lockdowns of Canada little did we know we were meeting a soul sister. Marian and Mya has become synonymous with deep conversations, high vibe moments, fitness, wellness and love. Every time we would come together our small circles would expand and fill up with all manners of expansion. Together we are so much more than the sum of our individual selves, so we thought, what the hey, let's share our combined selves with the world. Let's record our conversations. This is episode #1.  This is our story. While we both have epic individual stories, it is our story of meeting that we love the most. If you think about it, the odds of us meeting and forming such a deep and wonderful connection were not in our favour. Mya, a Canadian mother of two. Marian, a Costa Rican mother of one. Both forging their unique paths. Our meeting and synching up in business and life is truly the universe at play, giving us permission to play. We invite you to come and bathe in the frequency of PLAY. That is our signature. We dance, we light up our divine feminine fires, and we play! Fave quote from this episode (from Marian): "An alter in a sacred space is like creating a hole in the aura of the earth for light to come through, through the power of our intention."  To follow us there are 2 wonderful places on Instagram: Marian's @joy_of_life_costrica, Mya's @mya_pearle To connect about coming to experience a Joy of Life Retreat with our team reach out via the Ralia Retreats website or follow @raliaretreats
