Jyoti is one of Australia’s most extensively trained Sivananda Yoga Teachers.  Schooled in classical yoga in the Gurukula Yoga Vedanta lineage as a Brahmacharini, in Tamil Nadu India, guided by direct disciples of Swami Vishnu Devananda and His Holiness Swami Sivananda Saraswati. 

 

Swami Sivananda was a skilled Doctor and a Yogi who founded “The Divine Life Society”.  His manifesto was; “Serve Love Give Purify Meditate Realise”.  Jyoti was drawn to his light and continues his work as a Yogi and Complementary Medicine Practitioner dedicated to helping others find their own guiding light and highest purpose through the practice of Yoga and integrative medicine.  

 

Jyoti is also trained by Dr Ray Long, Orthopaedic Surgeon, founder of Bandha Yoga and Direct disciple of B.K.S Iyengar.  Her teaching methods combine the alignment principles of Bandha Yoga with neuromuscular rehabilitation techniques. She is also a student of Gregor Mahale and integrates his methods with neuromuscular anatomy to teach pranayama and transformative breath work.

   

Jyoti owns a Complementary Medicine Clinic & Herbal Medicine Dispensary where she works as an Acupuncturist. Her research interests include ethnopharmacology, endocrinology and developmental  education.

We acknowledge that in Australia, we live and work on stolen Country, never ceded. We acknowledge that this dispossession, from which most in our community continue to benefit materially, causes ongoing trauma to Indigenous people and communities.

We acknowledge that we benefit from Indigenous knowledge and insights, including long relationships with the plants we revere, from around the world. We acknowledge that Indigenous knowledge has often been taken disrespectfully.

We encourage all in our community to learn to do our work "right way", to understand protocol and to show respect.

The Movement Prescription endorses the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for a First Nations' Voice to the Australian Parliament, Treaty and Truth. We encourage each and all of our community to take up the invitation in the Uluru Statement to work through Australia's unfinished business.
