About

With a long time affinity and interest for health and wellness through natural healing arts. I began finding ways to take care of my own body, mind and spirit through seeking a more holistic approach. Including yoga, meditation, mindfulness, martial arts, journaling, acupuncture, essential oils, nutrition and more.

At this time a deeper connection with myself began to evolve, and I began to learn more about healing elements from a holistic perspective. Through these discoveries it became clear that it embodied more than just my own healing and wellness journey. Inspiration grew to deepen my understanding through continued exploration, formal training and studies in holistic health to be able to help others and bring Sumu Wellness to light.

Sumu Wellness was created with the intention of sharing wellness with others. Through creating a safe space that promotes healing, on all levels. Mind, body and spirit. I am truly grateful to be a guide and able to share these gifts of wellness with others. I feel so much gratitude to be on this journey. Casandra is Certified as a 2nd Degree Usui Tibetan Reiki Practitioner, E-RYT 200 Yoga Teacher and has been awarded certifications in: Holistic Health, Holistic Nutrition, and Meditation Teacher Training.

She continues to deepen her understanding and experience through continued practice, training and studies, but especially through connecting with clients in their journey. Teaching Yoga and Meditation workshops online, as well as Classes at Northside Aztlan Community Center, EXOS at Intel and with Shine LLC.

Testimonials

  • Brian

    "Casandra’s Tuesday and Thursday morning yoga and meditation classes at the Northside Aztlan Center have been an important part of my physical and mental practice for several years now. A highly experienced and capable instructor, Casandra creates a safe and peaceful space that has attracted a group of loyal followers. The classes help keep me centered, focused, positive and limber throughout the day. If I could change only one thing, I’d make these classes available every day of the week."

  • Mike B

    "Yoga with Casandra has helped me tremendously. I didn’t know how inflexible I was until I took my first yoga class with her. I have stuck with it and I’m remarkably loosened up and able to move without any problem. My back was immobilized once in a while, but not anymore. This is coming from a 73 year old guy who lifts weights and works out but never thought to limber up with yoga. What a compliment and counterbalance to the tough days at the gym. Plus she’s as nice as heck! Meditation and yoga with Casandra is the perfect way to start your day."

  • Deborah C.

    "I took yoga classes from Casandra for several months and will be coming back this summer. The yoga was just what I needed and it got me into shape to take Yoga Teacher Training. It is structured and friendly to all ages and body types. It reintroduced me to yoga postures and quieting my mind, a lifelong process for me. Looking forward to coming back and starting it again!"

    "My experience with Casandra was just wonderful. It was my first Reiki session and I wasn’t sure what to expect. She was very kind and explained everything very well and helped me feel comfortable. I have already recommended her to friends."
