Meet the founder Macarena Musante
"We can all become, if we set our minds to it, sculptors of our own brain.”
Santiago Ramón y Cajal.
Macarena, 36yo, founder of Ocean Breath Barcelona, has traveled to more than 50 countries studying yoga, breathwork, freediving, and cold exposure.
​
It was after a serious motorcycle accident in Thailand — followed by three surgeries to recover her knee and a long rehabilitation process to walk again — that she became passionate about the healing power of the breath. She dedicated herself to exploring different breathwork techniques in Bali and to mastering apnea and freediving, earning her certification in the Canary Islands.
​
Due to the chronic pain she experienced, she trained in cold exposure and ice baths. All this knowledge, combined with her Master’s degree in Neuroscience, allowed her to give a scientific foundation to her courses and trainings. She is currently based in Barcelona and teaches courses across Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
Maca Musante, founder of Ocean Breath, has built her expertise through extensive international training across yoga, breathwork, freediving, neuroscience and therapeutic disciplines. She holds multiple Yoga Alliance certifications, with more than 600-hour trainings with Power Living in Australia and Bindu in Barcelona, Dharma Yoga in India and at Yoga Loft in Mexico City. Her breath and cold exposure background includes freediving certifications with AIDA in the Canary Islands, advanced freediving training in Panglao (Philippines), professional Breathwork training with CCB in Bali, and an intensive immersive week with Wim Hof focused on breath and cold exposure.

This experiential foundation is reinforced by academic and therapeutic studies, including a Master’s degree in Neuroscience from Tech University, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) certification, specialised training in Neuroscience and Meditation with Nirakara Lab, Psychic Development training at Yoga Loft (CDMX), Gestalt Therapy at the European Institute of Integrative Therapies, and certification in Ontological Movement. This depth of training allows Maca to guide each experience with scientific understanding, embodied knowledge and a refined awareness of the nervous system.
