Carla Aleili Orellana

Carla Orellana, aka “Aleili,” has always danced her way through life. Whether it be sailing over unpredictable waves of the sea on a boat aptly named the Maisha, “Dance of the Sea”, or on land with an equally unpredictable snake, she manages to somehow keep her balance and dances to inspire others. Nature, music, dance, yoga, and her community relationships heal past trauma as well as open the doors to remarkable experiences which she loves to share with her writings. She’s been called a “Free Spirit” by some who appreciate her inspirational stories, dance, yoga and fitness classes and workshops, or “Crazy” by others who would prefer to read about her adventures and lessons instead. Her dance name of Aleili translates into “a gathering place to a high peak of inspiration.” She lives up to that seriously responsible intention of serving to heal and empower not only herself as an example, but for others as well.
