Swami Nibhrtananda  ATRI-C C-IAYT

 

Camella has been practicing yoga since she was 17 years old, accompanying her mum to class where she lived in Bedford, England. Since that time, yoga has provided her the path on which she has traveled to this point in her life.

Because of her extensive training and life experiences, Camella has been inspired to create and develop programs for yoga teachers and students, so that they may find the same guidance and wisdom that a yoga path has brought to her. She is one of a few female swami’s and hopes to bring the ancient teachings to a level to be understand and utilized by all.

“I am passionate about self transformation and the potential that we all have to seek and sustain greater balance and self-awareness in our lives. I am also passionate about making the Kriya teachings more accessible and meaningful in our daily lives so that the spiritual life and the life of a householder are integrated. To me, life is a school for the soul, and we should try to find joy, peace and happiness where possible. Yoga is an amazing science that helps us on our individual path.”

In the Kriya Dharma,

Camella
