Esperanza Lopez

About

Born in Sabadell, she has always balanced her family life with her professional career. A mother of two children, who have long been independent, she has approached the ups and downs of family life with the utmost dedication, while also pursuing a profession focused on serving others.

Her clear inclination towards natural therapies and intuitive understanding of people led her to embark on various courses related to manual techniques such as chiropractic, massage, reflexology, craniosacral therapy, and more in 1980. By 1985, with an excellent level of expertise in these techniques, she began teaching professional courses at the same center where she received her training.

In 1991, she expanded her knowledge by studying floral essences and mineral extracts (Bach, California, Findhorn, Rumis, etc.). Subsequently, she also taught courses on these subjects at the Yesod center, which she co-founded with her life partner, Josep Vila.

Around 2004, her focus shifted from "natural techniques" to "personal work." She completed her training in Family Constellations and began studying Holotropic Breathwork with Sitara Blasco and Juanjo Segura, leading to her certification by its creator, Dr. Stanislav Grof, in 2008.

For many years, she organized regular workshops on Holotropic Breathwork at her center in Sabadell.

For many years, she has periodically traveled to Peru, where she has worked and continues to work in the Amazon rainforest with Plant Masters in dietas and retreats, experiencing the wisdom and healing properties of plants and gaining knowledge of Amazonian tradition, particularly in the preparation and application of Tobacco.

Currently, she collaborates with Josep Vila in personal growth workshops they jointly conduct in various locations in Spain, Ireland, and Austria.

Holotropic Breathwork®

Holotropic Breathwork® is a powerful technique for self-healing and self-exploration allowing for greater self-understanding, expansion of self-identity and access to the roots of emotional and psychosomatic challenges one might face. Holotropic Breathwork® comes from the Greek words ‘holos’ (whole) and ‘trepein’ (going to) meaning moving towards wholeness.

Training

GTT is a program for experiencing and studying Holotropic Breathwork® and the transpersonal perspective. It is a two-track program that can be used either to become a certified practitioner or simply to experience this practice in a more in-depth format.
