The Essence of Riomattá

Riomattá is a school of holistic practices devoted to embodied healing where breath, sound, yoga, movement, and ancient wisdom meet the modern nervous system.

It is a trauma aware School of Holistic Practices offering science led, embodied training for student & facilitators who want to do this work ethically and sustainably. Our flexible, experiential approach ensures students don’t just graduate qualified they graduate grounded.

Story Behind Riomattá

Riomattá was born from two best friends who met on a Greek island both who share the love of breathwork and are two facilitators, two lineages, and two essential forces: flow and form.

 • “Río” (Rio) means river symbolising flow, breath, rhythm, emotion, and life force. It represents the current that moves through all practices: breath, sound, and energy in motion, and the feminine 

 • “Mattá” (Matt) comes from matter; the body, the earth, form, and physical presence. It represents embodiment, grounding, and the container through which healing becomes real and lived.

Together, Riomattá means the river moving through matter consciousness, breath and vibration embodied in the human body.

Our Purpose & Value

To train and educate facilitators in holistic, trauma-aware, and embodied practices that support nervous system regulation, emotional healing, presence, and integration honouring both ancient wisdom traditions and contemporary somatic understanding.

This course isn’t just preparing you for who you want to become it’s preparing you for what you may discover along the way.Built by facilitators with first hand experience of the beauty and the risks of this work, Riomatta exists to raise the standard of facilitation. We are driven by integrity, lived experience, and a deep commitment to trauma-aware practice so the work is done safely, responsibly, and with care for both facilitator and participant.
