Hemalayaa teaches a unique combination of yoga and Indian dance in Los Angeles and travels the globe transforming lives through these practices. As a yogini, dancer and fitness educator, Hemalayaa has a natural gift for bringing out the joy and the dancer in everyone. The daughter of Indian parents, Hema's upbringing taught her that dance was important to health and well-being, and her yoga training began at home at an early age. Her first teacher was her father. She went on to study yoga, philosophy, and meditation. A life devoted to yoga and dance animates Hemalayaa's playful spirit. Laughter, her own and that of her students, is the trademark sound of her classes. Hema loves turning her students on to the vibrant styles of Indian dance, which is revolutionizing conscious movement. She is the creator and author of numerous health and fitness DVDs and has been featured in publications such as Yoga Journal, Body & Soul, Fit Yoga, The New York Times and LA Yoga Magazine among others. When she's not shimmying with Ellen Degeneres on her talk show, strutting her stuff with the ladies of the Today show or leading workshops and retreats around the world, Hemalayaa is most likely to be found in her kitchen whipping up some healthy, organic food, riding her bike around Los Angeles, spending time with friends and just generally enjoying life.

Cassaundra Paolini is a gifted intuitive Wellness Therapist, channel, medium and natural shaman, who with Coaching, Therapy, and Energy Work, over the past decade, has helped hundreds of people overcome their blocks and traumas, and go on to live more fulfilling lives. A powerful part of how Cassaundra is able to help others, is in her ability to read energy, and she draws upon this to help each individual. The divine inner teacher taught Cassaundra how to accomplish many amazing things (that she always knew were possible), and these teachings had a profound effect on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. This profound journey helped her achieved the greatest goal - to come home to her truth, control her gifts, and to make sense of this world and her life, so that she was finally able to feel deep peace, self love and self trust. Cassaundra was so excited for this transformation that she was driven to share this with others, and Divine Energy Healing was born. We all deserve to live our best lives, and Cassaundra's goal and deepest intention is for people to find that inner connection, self worth, and to feel the peace and happiness that they deserve.  She is committed to this goal and your Journey into Wellness - because none of us can do this alone. https://divineenergyhealing.ca/ https://www.youtube.com/c/CassaundraPaolini

Sera has been a lifetime student and accomplished teacher of Yoga and Ayurveda. She has been blessed with teachers who have searched classically for the patterns of the Universe and Spirit. Her studies and experiences in the realms of Yoga, Mantra, and Ayurveda all serve to assist in increasing her depth, sensitivity, and simplicity in ways she lives and practices. Her primary source training has allowed her to be a dynamic teacher and facilitator of the modern age. She is fluent in human physical and psychological mechanics and thus can adjust sequences, lectures, and treatment plans rapidly to accommodate individuals' present needs. In classes we will focus on the science behind the relationships between the body, the mind, and their bridges. We will be most observant of the flow of prana – how and where it moves and does not move in posture and how it relates – or does not – with consciousness. Using the paradigms of Ha-tha Yoga and Ayurveda we will explore our capacity to be both strong and flexible, moving and still, Ha and Tha, and of course, migrate in the direction of steady appreciation and holistic awareness. My goal is to contextualize things that are often taught in broad strokes without context. From this place, it is possible to go deep instead of only wide. When we are aware of context our work is more personalized and profound and thus the impact we have on the people with whom we work will be that much more powerful and in service. By studying and/or working with me you will gain a personal understanding of Yoga and Ayurveda in a way that is usable, approachable, and Classically based.
