She completed her L1 teacher training with the late Guru Dass in 2014 and fell pregnant with her first son during training, inspiring her to complete Conscious Pregnancy teacher training with Suraj Kaur. This led her to focus on supporting mothers, nurturing conscious parenting, and empowering women to lead their families and communities.

With an artist’s heart and soul of a philosopher, her passion is to share the teachings with all people, of all walks of life. She believes the technology of Kundalini Yoga can uplift and support many and is dedicated to sharing these teachings from a place of gratitude, compassion, and community.

Ananda Devi first encountered Kundalini Yoga by chance—and stayed because something shifted and stirred a deeper knowing within her. What began as an experiment became a lifelong practice of inner alignment, curiosity, and joy.

Her teaching style flows with the energy of the moment—from gentle and spacious to dynamic and fun (often with a spontaneous giggle). This allows a space for people to come home to themselves—beyond the noise of everyday life—into the timeless pulse of the Soul: powerful, loving, and infinitely creative.

For Ananda Devi, sharing this practice is contributing to the energy of connection, between the finite and the infinite and between each other. If a spark of understanding, sensation or comprehension brings someone closer to freedom, love, or awareness, that illumination brightens life for us all.

“I have come to believe that caring for myself is not self-indulgent, caring for myself is an act of survival.” — Audre Lorde

Eilish has been teaching Kundalini Yoga globally and locally for 15 years — and she'll tell you the practice never

stays on the mat.

She believes your life is the compound interest on what you do every day. That discipline becomes devotion the

moment you realise your practice is actually serving you. That the sutras aren't philosophy — they're operating

instructions.

By day, Eilish works as a creative strategist and brand consultant to founders and creative leaders, weaving

Kundalini Yoga philosophy directly into how people build businesses, lead teams, and express their identity in the

world. The sacred and the strategic are, for her, the same conversation.

Her two workshops at Tyalgum Ridge will move you — literally. Expect breath, movement, meditation, and the

kind of clarity that only comes when you stop waiting for permission and start.

Come ready to begin.
