I am Nandi Gabremedhin a KRI Level 1 Kundalini Yoga Instructor, graduate of Lighthouse Yoga Center’s KRI Teacher Training Program. I took my first yoga class more than 11 years ago in a Saturday program at my son’s school. With that first class I felt more positive, peaceful and happy. I then found a place to take regular classes. I started practicing Ashtanga Yoga. With continuous practice I found it brought a new calm to me, helped me sleep better and connect with others thru a more divine energetic space. There was still something missing. I wanted to take my practice deeper; I wanted to learn to meditate. My sister told me to take a Kudalini class and I did. Initially I thought I’d just take classes for myself, but then I knew fairly soon I wanted to become a teacher to share the benefits of which I so abundantly received.

Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness aimed at healing and balancing total mind body and spirit! Through my own practice and teachings, I have found that Kundalini Yoga has been a way for me to dig deeper and uncover more of myself and my own power, becoming more focused and discipline in developing my spirituality. With life and all that comes the maintenance must continue, is the main reason I keep my practice strong. Kundalini has allowed me to truly see more and has allowed for more uplifting connections with others.

My goal is to vibrate at my highest level so I may influence others to do the same for themselves by being a light to those around me. My classes facilitate experiences for individuals to find their own power, overcome personal challenges, shed the old skin and grow anew by uncovering the divine energy within and illuminating peace, light and love that inspires others thru example and energy.
