Hi, I’m Mariannela Rahn

My intention is to share practices that help reconnect with the body, calm the mind, and nurture inner peace.

A little about my story:

My journey with yoga began 18 years ago during a time of great change, when I moved across continents to start a new life in Australia with my husband and three children. Yoga found me as a way to stay grounded — and it soon became a lifelong practice of discovery, a space to breathe, feel, and reconnect with myself.

With a deepening sense of awareness and a desire to help others reconnect with themselves, I became a Certified Yoga Instructor (Yoga Alliance Australia, 2022). Over time, my practice naturally opened the door to transformational breathwork, and in 2025, I completed my Breathwork Facilitator Certification through Rhythm of Breath, marking the birth of Shala Collective. Through conscious breathing, I discovered how profoundly we can shift our energy, emotions, and state of mind — accessing healing and transformation that words alone cannot reach.

Today, breathwork and conscious movement are at the heart of what I share, blending ancient wisdom with modern practices to support deep, lasting transformation from within.

Looking back, I see how my background in fashion design was always a quiet search for harmony — the same beauty, calm, and alignment I later found through yoga and breathwork. These practices have become essential tools in life, helping to heal, release, and remember who we truly are beneath all the noise.

At Shala Collective, we honor the sacred link between mind and body, the transformative power of breath, and the healing rhythm of movement. Our approach blends strength and softness, movement and stillness, guiding you toward balance, clarity, and presence, both on and off the mat.

I am deeply passionate about creating a safe and welcoming space where everyone feels supported, seen, and inspired. Whether in a group class, a heated Vinyasa flow, or a one-on-one session, my aim is to help you cultivate awareness, release tension, and awaken the energy within
