Who is Nirmala?

Nirmala Mayi has been a lover and practitioner of yoga since she was 14 years of age. She has experience in many styles of yoga including Iyengar, Kundalini, Ashtanga and the Five Tibeteans.

She has worked out of many centers in Australia and now has found her home in Balian at Shankaris Bali Retreat. Nirmala has a great love of Bali and can speak Indonesian as well as French.

After many years of spiritual searching, Nirmala found her master Sw. Santhi Prasad in Kerala, India in August 2007.

Santhi Santhi Prasad is a renown yogi and spiritual master and runs the School of Santhi in Trivandrum, Kerala. He has also a center in Italy. Nirmala was his first internationally certified student in Shiva Raja Yoga following a direct lineage of yoga masters.

Shiva Raja Yoga is traditional form of yoga that supports the evolution of the mind, body and Spirit through the awareness of the Chakra system, the cyclical energy storehouse depots of our bodies. We learn exactly what we open in each asana (pose), the nature of each posture and how to use our breath either in asana or in meditation to incorporate balance in the area and evolve.

In Shiva Raja techniques of practicing yoga asanas, the conscious mind is put into high alert to channel Prana (our vital life force) to highly activated nucleus points of the body with respect to each particular asana. The highest activated regions are carefully spotted with alertness and activation of Prana is affected to these reqions by visualized Pranic channelization.

Nirmala Mayi conducts workshops and private lessons teaching yoga and the 8 chakra's of Kundalini.

Presently Nirmala teaches Mon - Fri in the Seminar Room at 5pm at Shankari's Bali Retreat. Beginners are welcome! Mats are supplied. Just bring yourself!
