Yogini Celeste began her studies in Yoga over 35 years ago at the Integral Yoga Institute. She is also a Master Herbalist, and has Masters degrees in English and Information Technology. She studied with Swami Satchidananda, Yogi Bhajan, Ayurvedic physicians Dr. Svoboda, Dr. Vasant Lad, and Dr. Naram, and Jyotish specialist David Frawley, and she was also a Professor of English in Japan. The essential goal of Yoga is chitta vritti nirodha or stilling the changing states of the mind. Although her focus is on Patanjali's Yoga, Yogini Celeste focuses on HEALING and TRANSFORMATION while integrating all branches of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Mantra to understand and eliminate the root cause of dis-ease in the mind and at the cellular levels of the body. The goal is to still and purify the mind eliminating the vasanas or mental tendencies, which manifests karma and obscures the Light of Truth preventing us from experiencing our true divine nature or the Self. Also, the granthies, or psychic knots of the nadiis along the spinal cord must be dissolved because granthies are formed from these mental tendencies and can cause a hindrance to the awakening of Kundalini. Unless the mind is restrained from being modified from its natural state (meditation), disturbances caused by the waves of thoughts will distort the true refection of the Immortal Self on the mind. Pranayama, one of the methods mentioned by Patanjali for Realization, is especially useful to purify the vasanas and maintain the calmness of the mind, which then reflects the bliss and permanent peace of the Self. As a realized soul, Yogini Celeste lights up the inward journey of the spiritual seeker to begin the process of enlightenment, guiding the seeker to move from body consciousness to spiritual consciousness and finally, to Realization of the Truth. But first the nadis and the mind must be purified through Pranayama, Japa, and the body must be balanced with a specific Hatha Yoga and Ayurvedic program according to one's doshas or Ayurvedic constitution.
