Your Guide - FRANCISCO MORALES-BERMUDEZ
Francisco Morales-Bermúdez, is a healing artist from Lima, Peru. The ocean and mountains of his home country remain profound sources of inspiration for Francisco.
Over the years, he has studied with several master healers and martial artists in various regions including South America; USA: Asia; Africa; Europe and New Zealand.
For years, Francisco studied with the renowned yoga teacher, Dharma Mittra, assisting with trainings and workshops. Dharma’s philosophy of creativity; grace; and yoga as a tool for spiritual development has deeply influenced Francisco’s pedagogy.
Francisco’s exploration of healing arts led him to the practice of Thai massage and its principal of metta (love and kindness). Under the guidance of master teacher, Kam Thye Chow, Francisco mastered the art of Thai massage.
During his teacher’s passing, Francisco was chosen to carry the practice forward in the form of teacher trainings. In the early 2000’s, Francisco and a group of yogis and circus artists formed the practice which came to be known as Acro Yoga.
Francisco’s exploration of the convergence of Thai massage, yoga, and anatomy and physiology greatly influenced the techniques that are used in the practice today.
As the founder and Co-Director of Synergy Yoga, Francisco shares his teaching with international audiences through teacher trainings, retreats and wellness festivals throughout the world.

One of the BEST & MOST FAVORITE of workshops we have offered in the nine years at the BDY studios!
In Breathing Dragon Yoga’s Workshop with Ignite Sadhana,
You will be led by two
Wim Hof Certified Instructors,
Peter and Jason.
In this four hour workshop, Peter & Jason will start by introducing and teaching the theory, science, and three pillars of the Wim Hof Method. Next, they will lead you through Wim Hof Method Breathwork, tapping into the deep, autonomic regions of the brain and optimize the immune system. Finally, the group will enter into the cold exposure portion of the workshop where they will enter into an ice bath for up to 2 – 10 minutes.
Upon a slow entry up to your neck, you will begin taking control of your stress response by controlling your breath and maintaining focus until a calm mind is achieved.
After carefully exiting the ice bath participants use movement and focused attention to naturally warm their bodies up and ignite dormant human capabilities!
Your Guides - Jason & Peter
Jason Muscavage is a 200hr RYT yoga instructor, Wim Hof Method Instructor, and has worked in logistics for the Department of Defense for over the past 10 years. Jason has found a deeper connection with his mind and body through the Wim Hof Method as a way to stay healthy and control anxiety. He is excited to share how the benefits of a strong breath practice and cold exposure, combine with a focused mindset help to improve immunity, decrease inflammation, strengthen circulatory system as well as increase energy and focus!
Peter Reyes is a 200hr RYT yoga instructor and Wim Hof Method instructor. When he first discovered the Wim Hof Method, like many others, he was looking for something; a spark, an idea, an image to follow. He had no idea of the profound ripple effects it would have on his life. Without any prior practice, he found himself in Przesieka, Poland amongst a tribe of soul searchers from different corners of the globe. He soon realized we all have deep, untapped potential waiting to be unleashed! He has been practicing the Wim Hof Method since and has used the method to enhance the mind, body, and spiritual connection. In turn, that energy has begun to expand outward to the many corners of his life. The need to spread that energy, tribal mentality, HUMAN UNLEASHED, that fire, is what has led him to teach the method as a solution to trauma, disease, and the modern human condition.
