The Importance of Love
When one stops
And becomes the silence
There remains no other place
From which sound can be made
To echo in the heart of the Lover
But from the Source
And the Source is nothing else but Love
You can not exist with out Love
Nothing can
For all is Love
And the sooner
One tastes this truth
The sooner the searching
Will end
And the tired philosophers mind
Will surrender
It’s need for concepts
And reasons why they have Love or don’t
And simply
Allow the Love of which they speak and lust
To devour the last words
And concepts of truth
Here the heart can melt
Into the Everything of every Being
And the nothingness of the Unspeakable Source
Love

Xenia’s 500 hour Sananda Devi Yoga Teacher Training course has components that make this training unique and different from any other teacher trainings that are offered in the city (ie: learning more detailed philosophy, Ayurvedic studies, Yoga Nidra, and studying Sanskrit and Jyotish Astrology). The course was a transformational experience and I felt overwhelmed with gratitude at the generosity of course content. More and more learning experiences unfolded throughout the course and Xenia had a way of helping us not only prepare to become yoga teachers but to really discover ourselves on this journey along the way. Xenia created an atmosphere that felt so safe and so welcoming for us to bring the things that we are struggling with in life out into the open. She made it feel so natural to be able to share every little energetic shift that I was going through and you could tell that the entire group felt the same way. This course helped me realized that you have to know yourself and the struggles that every human spirit has with their ego before you can offer the most to your future yoga students and best support them emotionally and spiritually. Xenia is such a natural spiritual leader and she has so many blessings and gifts to offer to everyone that studies with her.

The Teacher Training at Sananda was a life changing event that still continues to reverberate, life will never be the same. For me, to say "I enjoyed" is too minimal to express how transformative the experience has been. A true teacher of yoga may take many lifetimes, but an instructor on this path is certain to teach, for their point of reference comes from the centre; as they become grounded in digesting the reality of this life.

I am forever grateful for my yoga teacher training at Sananda. I had been looking for years for the right program and the moment I found out Anandashakti would be creating a program I wanted to participate. It did not fail to deliver. Anandashakti's dedication and experience guided my long time practice and love of yoga to a deeper and richer experience of yoga as an art of living. Long live Yoga Nidra! Once I began teaching I found I could walk into any studio and any teaching experience and feel comfortable and teach a fulfilling class. I have taught seniors, children, students with physical and mental disabilities, private classes, huge groups, chatty teenagers, nervous and reluctant first timers, wisend and experienced yogis and even my own Mother with confidence knowing that my training from Sananda was practical, valuable, guiding and something special.

and their deep importance in our current times for personal and global healing.
Transform your life from fear to love
Why know your karmic patterns?
Our Karmic patterns are constantly bringing us into feelings and situations of limitation and suffering. Whether it is emotional, health related or circumstance and people in ones life you can be sure that the root cause of these discomforts are karmic impressions that act as magnets drawing us into situations and feelings about ourselves and others and drawing others to us to act out the scripts of the old stories we have stored on a cellular level.
In an Art of Life reading the karmic impression that are causing obstruction in your life paths are brought to consciousness and energy transmission are given to rewrite the pattern and open you to your true life's path of joy, peace and potency.
By becoming conscious of the unconscious impulses of your patterns life becomes a experience of art, where you can paint the canvas you wish to live in.
Core Pattern Reading
In this reading you will receive your deepest karmic pattern which will give much reflection and understanding to about your personality and life circumstances. Clearing this one is like pulling the weeds out by the roots. Its stops the further growth of others and creates profound life changes.
Follow Up Readings
Follow up readings give further insight into patterns that are currently active in your life and will assist in deeper letting go of the Core Patterning.
Oracle Readings
Oracle Readings bring answers to specific questions and will give you the insight to understand the spiritual purpose of the circumstance and the direction to make the best choices.
Relationship Readings
In these readings we look at the joint karma between the individuals involved, what are the old wounds that you have come together in this life time to heal ? and what are the strengths and lessons in love you have come together to share? What is the potential ? How do you create harmony? This can be any type of relationship, lover, friend, parent/child.....
Hands on Healing
A deeply relaxing treatment that unwinds the physical, mental and emotional tensions then uses shamanic and angelic techniques to extract the karmic pieces stored in the cellular level. ( this healing can also be performed long distance)
All of the Art of Life Readings and Healings can be done in person or long distance by phone or in written form. They are channelled sessions working with Entities of Light and Love that guide the sessions.
