CJ ANANDA

Ananda is a renowned teacher of yoga, dance and meditation. She has combined her joy of these self-healing therapies with her experience as a wellness coach and healing practitioner to create international retreats and trainings. Ananda offers Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher Trainings with YogaSchool Institute, giving each person the heartfelt attention and direct facilitation that cultivates an ecstatic, healing and Magical experience.

Integrating her teachings and passions, Ananda has developed The Magnetic Movement, a system of intentional-based healing that draws on the philosophy that we are all a part of this magnetic energy that is driving us towards greater consciousness. By exploring our gifts and expanding our relationship with higher self, we come into alignment with our inner purpose of Awakening. Through our collaborative efforts and unified intentions, we magnify the richness of this life's experience.

Ananda currently lives in Tzununa, Guatemala, the home of Casa Kula, where she and Coby hold sacred space for individuals and groups as they journey toward Self Realization and Oneness. She suggests that as we step up to the Essence of who we are within, we are connected to the Wholeness of all that is. Ananda believes that we are each here to expand into the greatness of who we are and to serve all beings in our highest capacity. She is inspired to inspire... and to continue this journey moment to moment, breath to breath.

COBY

While traveling abroad during University, Coby met a Peruvian healer who liberated him from the material realm. “Now that you have entered the Spiritual world”, she told him, “you’ll never have to concern yourself with money or materials, they will manifest effortlessly. Your new path is a spiritual one wrought with its own challenges.” Coby took this belief to heart, starting a spiritual journey that took him several times around the world. He spent many years reconnecting with the Earth throughout Latin America. He sailed the Caribbean, learning just how deeply one can relax. He led groups of teenagers through five different continents. He spent much time in India where he lived 'Baba Life', renouncing material comforts and exploring the boundaries of meditation. But between each chapter of his story, he would always return to his Shamanic teacher in Peru for study and guidance. Coby’s deep rooted interest in Shamanism found its perfect complement when he married Yoga Guru, CJ Ananda. The fusion of his love for Shamanism and hers for Yoga blended perfectly, becoming CobAnanda.
