Kalavati
I am a Kripalu Yoga certified teacher of 14 years I also have training in other types of yoga including Ashtanga yoga. For three years, I ran Sattva Yoga & Wellness, a small studio in midtown Manhattan. During that time I was featured in several magazines, including Self, Yoga Journal and Essence. I was a board member of the New York Yoga Teachers Association, and taught at the Graduate Center of City University of N.Y, N.Y.U, NY Sports Clubs, and privately. My video for beginners--Start with Yoga was sold by a division of Book-of-the Month Club/Doubleday. I studied macrobiotics and holistic health at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC.
MASSAGE
After completing a 1,000 hour massage therapy program, in 2007 that complements my earlier additional training in shiatsu; I passed the state exam. So I am a New York state licensed massage therapist, with licensure now in Massachusetts. This complements my additional training in shiatsu which is my speciality.
MEDITATION/STRESS MANAGEMENT
I am currently enrolled in the 18 month, Mindfulness Yoga and Meditation Training program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California. I began meditation in the early 90’s. Since 2001, I have engaged in over four months of intensive silent, residential meditation programs. Some of my teachers include Myoshin Kelley and Joseph Goldstein. I also have practiced under the guidance of Chanmay Sayadaw and Sayadaw U Pandita, for four and six weeks respectively, both are highly respected Burmese monks and meditation masters. Most of this practice takes place at the Forest Refuge at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA.
My last year working in an academic setting, I served as the Wellness Coordinator, a new position. I designed and taught yoga and stress management workshops for faculty, staff and students to overwhelmingly positive feedback.
