Templo del Corazón

Asia is a facilitator, mother, land steward, designer, herbalist, and devoted student of the sacred arts whose life has been shaped by a deep inquiry into what it means to remember our true nature and live in relationship with the sacred.

Her path has carried her through multiple wisdom traditions and lineages. She has trained shamanically within the Shipibo lineage, is a devotee of the Sophianic arts, and a practitioner of Vajrayana Buddhism, a tantric Buddhist tradition in which she has received multiple empowerments and transmissions from lamas. She is also a certified yoga teacher and lifelong student of yogic philosophy.

Asia has studied herbalism under the guidance of an Indigenous teacher, deepening a relationship with the plant world that extends far beyond formal study. Much of her free time is spent in her apothecary crafting plant medicines, learning directly from the plants, and exploring the many ways humans have lived in relationship with the botanical world across generations. This reverence for plants, land, and traditional wisdom is woven naturally into the spaces she creates.

At the heart of Asia's work is remembrance — not the pursuit of becoming something more, but the uncovering of what is already innate: our connection to the body, to spirit, to one another, and to the living Earth. Her retreats are intentionally created as immersive worlds where ritual, embodiment, nature, creativity, mystery, and ancient wisdom become doorways into that remembering.

Asia is also an interior designer and steward of land in the jungles of Costa Rica, where she is bringing a long-held vision to life: building a retreat center rooted in reverence for the natural world, meaningful human connection, and the expansion of consciousness. Her eye for beauty and space is inseparable from the way she facilitates — she believes the environments we inhabit can themselves become vessels for transformation.

Beneath all of these paths, her deepest devotion is to the life she shares with her family. She is mother to two children and a devoted wife to her beloved of twelve years, continually discovering that the spiritual path is not separate from ordinary life, but woven directly through it.

Her work is an invitation into that same discovery: to bring the sacred out of abstraction and into the body, the Earth, our relationships, and the way we choose to live.

Astara is a transformational guide, somatic practitioner, and devoted student of the feminine mysteries whose work lives at the meeting place of Tantra, embodiment, ancient yogic wisdom, and the intelligence of the body.

Rooted in tantric somatic arts, feminine movement, breathwork, womb wisdom, energy healing, and Himalayan Kriya Yoga, she creates spaces that invite women out of old patterns of holding and into deeper states of softness, expression, aliveness, and self-remembrance.

Her own path of awakening has taken her across the world and deep into the study of the body as a vessel for transformation. Today, she weaves years of practice and lived experience into spaces that are at once deeply nurturing and powerfully activating — inviting women to listen inward, reclaim their innate life force, and allow the fullness of who they are to move through them.

There is a tenderness to the way Astara holds space, an invitation to soften without becoming small, to open without abandoning oneself, and to remember the body as something sacred, intelligent, and profoundly alive.

At Templo del Corazón, Astara brings this devotion to the feminine into the temple, guiding women deeper into embodiment, expression, connection, and the remembrance of their own radiant nature.
