Transformation and Connection

Priya Marita Diaz, (she/they) founder of Plaza Artista Studio, is a Chicanx musician, sound healer, yogini, educator, actor and community organizer - a California transplant who has found peace and purpose in the heart of Seattle on Beacon Hill. Their passion lies in holding space for growth and guiding others as they navigate the intricate pathways of life, seeking meaning, expression and healing.

Priya grew up in an intentional yoga community in the mountains in Central California and began studying yoga, pranayama, theater and music at the age of 11. Priya grew up off-grid, up a secluded dirt road in the hills, among the pines and redwoods, which instilled a deep connection to the earth that has guided them throughout their life journey.

Priya studied classical hindustani music in California and Nepal, plays various instruments, including voice, guitar and percussion, and holds a Masters Degree in Education. Priya offers sound healing sessions, consulting for artists, community gatherings and creative arts events at her studio, Plaza Artista Studio in Seattle WA, on the high point of Beacon Hill in the unceded lands of the Coast Salish peoples.
