OUR DAGA WORLD TEAM
FOUNDER/MOVEMENT HEALER
Smile Garcia has been dancing since her childhood, guided by a heart full of dedication and a soul deeply rooted in rhythm and flow. Her path grew to embrace yoga, weaving mindful movement with the joy of dance. In 2022, she founded DAGA WORLD, a vibrant hub uniting movement, music, and mindfulness. Since then, DAGA WORLD has brought inspiration and connection to dancers through events in Hawaii, Guatemala, and Los Angeles.
SOUND BATH HEALER
Ari Gabrielle is a gifted sound healer who channels soothing vibrations to restore balance, peace, and inner harmony. She joined us in Guatemala at the One Wave Retreat, guiding participants through transformative sound journeys that nurtured both heart and spirit.
EVENT COORDINATOR
Xiomara Carranza brings over a decade of event-organizing experience and a heart dedicated to community. Now stepping fully into the wellness world as an Event Coordinator for DAGA World, she blends her mastery of planning with an authentic passion for healing spaces. Xiomara is also embarking on her yoga instructor journey to share the transformative power of movement, breath, and self-love.
Owl’s Nest is the new DAGA World LA Hub
What began as Nicole’s personal sanctuary and a gathering place for a circle of gifted practitioners has evolved into a sacred environment where community, nature, and spirit come together in harmony. Together, we’ve cultivated a space that restores balance, opens the heart, and supports the deep inner work that guides us all toward healing.
