My Story
I was certified to teach hatha flow yoga at the White Lotus Institute in Santa Barbara, and then certified in Thai Yoga Therapy and Advanced Thai Yoga Therapy with Saul David Raye. I started incorporating what I had learned with my private clients, and also practicing Thai Yoga Therapy, as well as teaching yoga in a health club setting.
In 1994 I met my meditation teacher, Sri Maha Mandaleshwar Shambhavananda, and began to learn how to be a yogini. Of course, it is still an ongoing process, but I have been practicing meditation since then, and also teaching. Babaji, as we call him, has been my absolutely essential teacher , helping me through life changing transformations and other difficult times . In 2021 my teacher made me a Swami and gave me the name, Swami Priyananda Ma. I consider meditation the ultimate yoga therapy, and believe it to be the highest and best thing I can teach to anyone.
In 2000 I met Doug Keller, one of the most brilliant and amazing yoga therapy teachers in the world. He is the author of Yoga as Therapy, a two volume set which has been revised over the years. His approach enables the body to heal itself. We can assess and teach alignment and movement patterns as well as the whole spectrum of yogic practices. The material was immediately relevant and easy to teach to clients, and I have been studying with him ever since. My main goal is to connect with you on a deep level, and to allieviate your suffering, both mental and physical. It is a privilege to teach and I look forward to meeting you. May all beings everywhere be healed.
