Meet Your Guides

Michelle Dobler & Brandi Pellerito

Brandi and Michelle are two women deeply committed to creating a transformative and nurturing space for women seeking to reconnect with their bodies, spirituality, and the natural world. Together, they are on a mission to build a community of women who are spiritually centered, empowered, and ready to create profound change within themselves and in the world around them.

Michelle's yoga journey began unexpectedly in 2012 during a fitness class at Georgia Military College, where she was introduced to the 8-limbed path of yoga. Though her initial interest was sparked there, it wasn't until years later, after battling mental health struggles and depression, that yoga became a profound tool of transformation for her. In 2016, she earned her 200-hour certification in Hatha Yoga and Shamanic tools from Anahata Earth Yoga School, and her passion for sharing the healing power of yoga was ignited.

As a coral biologist with over 1,600 dives, Michelle has a deep connection to the water, blending her passions for diving, conservation, and yoga through her business, Namaste Underwater LLC. Michelle’s unique approach to yoga integrates fluidity and breath, and she’s passionate about guiding women into their own empowerment by connecting with both the inner and outer elements of nature. She invites women to rediscover their feminine strength and fluidity through movement, breath, and nature.

Together, Brandi and Michelle bring their deep respect for nature, yoga, and feminine empowerment into every retreat and offering. Their desire is to cultivate a community of women who feel connected to their bodies and the Earth, and who are ready to do the deep, transformative work required for lasting change. Whether through the healing waters of the ocean, the cycles of the moon, or the sacredness of the body, Brandi and Michelle invite women to journey with them toward self-discovery, adventure, and profound connection.
