Welcome to Intuitive Rituals!
Intuitive Rituals is a heartwarming collaboration between Dolce, Karen, and Mihaela united by our mutual passion for creating sustainable and nourishing self-care practices in day-to-day life.
Intuitive Rituals is a nod to the humble everyday humans, the busy people, the busy parents, the burned-out souls, and the modern-day seekers for a little more softness and nourishment into their life.
Our collective intuition led us to create a welcoming space - a container for all to join and explore deeper connections not only with self but also with others.
We are all trained in Yoga, Pilates, Reformer and Barre and share a passion for movement as a way to care for the mind and body.
We believe in the power of dance, meditation, embodied practice, and creative expression. No matter what your calling, Intuitive Rituals can support you to find what will serve you.
Intuitive Rituals is an invitation to unearth, explore, and embody the innate wisdom that lies within - the intuition.

Mihaela Zotta
Mihaela is a wellness facilitator and yoga teacher based in Western Sydney.
She is a burn-out survivor and believes in the power of serendipitous moments. After a career in tech and consulting, such a moment revealed itself when least expected.
As a yoga teacher she believes yoga is like coming home. Arriving in a place of warmth, nurture and safety. A space where you can flourish and become more of you, on and off the mat.
Mihaela’s exploration of yoga and meditation expands through being a Crystal Singing Bowl facilitator, as well as a Yin yoga teacher. She explores the power of physical movement through anatomical disciplines such as Pilates, Reformer Pilates and Barre which complement the softness and embodied power of yoga and meditation.
Mihaela draws from her experience with burnout and anxiety to encourage and be an advocate for - ‘do what feels right and good for you’. Life is worth living and celebrating, and those serendipitous moments will find you when you need something extraordinary and incredibly human to take place.
Together with the modalities of yoga, pilates, barre and sound meditation, Mihaela creates a warm and safe experience to ensure a sustainable practice in class and beyond the mat.
