OUR STORY
Javi and Seba in Huilo Huilo, South of Chile
Hi, we’re Javi (ha-bee) and Seba (tse-bah). We’re passionate about Yoga—especially what we like to call Magic Yoga. For us, magic weaves together meditation, asana, prayer, sound journeys, dance, and breathwork—the many beautiful ways to melt away the illusion of separateness and reconnect with our deeper selves and each other.
Sacred plant medicines and ceremonial practices have also played a transformative role in our personal healing journeys, inspiring us to share these experiences within a supportive and connected community.
We’re originally from Chile, where we met and fell in love. We moved to San Francisco in 2014 and have spent over a decade living around the SF Bay Area. Both of us transitioned from formal corporate careers to the more fulfilling (albeit less lucrative) path of the Visionary Healing Arts. Javi is deeply trained as a Psychedelic Guide and Coach and leads weekly Magic Yoga classes in Santa Cruz and online. Seba specializes in Gestalt and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies, including guided journeys with Cannabis and Ketamine.
Together, we create group ceremonies designed for deep healing and transformation. These days, we call the Santa Cruz Mountains home, living among the majestic redwoods with our three cats. If you’re ever in the area, come say hi—we’d love to connect!
Our Vision
To create a world where expanded states of consciousness are safely explored and integrated through mindful, embodied practices—fostering healing, growth, and meaningful connection.
Our Mission
Green Magic Yoga creates inclusive, trauma-informed spaces for healing and connection through yoga, workshops, and magic journeys. Guided by mindfulness and harm reduction, we strive to set a standard for safe, accessible, and compassionate communities.

Javi (ha-bee | she/her) is an Advanced Therapeutic Yoga teacher (RYT-500), a Credentialed Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Guide, an Integrative Coach, and is on her journey to becoming a certified Yoga Therapist. Her path into yoga began as a way to navigate chronic illness, manage pain and anxiety, and rediscover a compassionate connection with her body.
Specializing in Trauma Recovery Yoga and Mindfulness-Based Somatic practices, Javi blends slow vinyasa flows, grounded spirituality, and a hint of Latin flair. Her passion for the healing potential of cannabis led her to the Ganja Yoga community, where she studied under Ganja Yoga author and founder Dee Dussault and later developed her unique style of deeply relaxing and transformative practices. She is also the curator and creator of Magic Breathwork, a modality that combines the power of intentional breathwork with microdosing for deep healing and connection.
Originally from Chile, Javi is a bilingual cannabis guide and group facilitator as well as teacher with the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness.
In 2018, Javi and her husband Sebastian founded Green Magic Yoga, weaving together mindfulness, yoga, and psychedelic healing.

Javi also serves as the Community & Event Coordinator for the Santa Cruz Psychedelic Society, organizing Integration Circles, Microdosing Hikes, and other community gatherings that bring people together in meaningful ways.
