A Workout That Meditates You

Soul Vida is designed as a moving meditation.

Each class synchronises breath and movement to quiet mental noise, release tension, and restore balance—while still delivering cardio, strength, flexibility and flow.

You leave feeling:

• Strong but relaxed
• Energised, not depleted
• Calm, clear and grounded

It’s a workout that truly loves you back.

The method was created by Makita Gabriel, a wellness entrepreneur and mind–body practitioner with over 35 years’ experience in movement, meditation, energy healing and holistic wellbeing.

Unlike traditional workouts that focus only on physical results, Soul Vida is designed to train body, mind and nervous system together. Meditation is built into the movement, so you leave feeling strong, calm and clear—not exhausted.
