Nomi Lyonns (or Sat Guru Kaur as she is known in the yogic community)
had the great fortune to grow up on Salt Spring Island. Though she
has traveled extensively, she has always felt a strong connection
to her roots.
"I'm very blessed to share this beautiful
environment, the amazing techniques of Kundalini Yoga along with
the myriad of healing techniques that I have had the benefit of
experiencing and studying over the last two and a half decades.
Paradise Found is truly a place where you can shift your consciousness
and heal."
Personally using natural healing methods for more than 25 years,
Nomi says Kundalini Yoga is a perfect compliment to balancing out
a full and healthy lifestyle. She has studied and practiced many
forms of body-based healing therapies over the years and was lead
to Kundalini yoga in 1999 through an LA gym.
Those first classes of kundalini yoga physically kicked my butt
BUT it was also the most delicious, sweet and blessed gift. Practicing
this particular form of yoga works very, very quickly at getting
rid of physical and mental blocks. If you are ready to let things
go, things in your life start shifting and changing. Not just your
physical body. It's real magic."
Training in the Yogi Bhajan School at Raj Yog Nivas/Yoga West in
Vancouver, with her fabulous teachers Dharm Kaur and Guru Raj, Sat
Guru Nomi has also found inspiration through classes and workshops
with top teachers from around the yoga world. She teaches one on
one and group classes at various gyms, yoga studios and other amenable
spots globally.
Nomi is currently earning a Degree in Natural Health with Clayton
College. She has worked as a certified Fitness and Weight Trainer
and is also a certified Reflexologist. She graduated with a degree
in Theatre Arts from Studio 58 in Vancouver where she studied the
body techniques of Alexander and Feldenkrais and laid the foundation
for her vocal work with Linkletter & Skinner techniques. Private
vocal teachers included: Luigi Wood, Nicholai Kolesnikov and Seth
Riggs.
