Carmen - Ananda Jyoti
Since 2007, I have been immersed in various disciplines of Personal and Spiritual Development, integrating therapies that encompass body, mind, emotions, and energy.
For me, it is not just a set of practices; it is a lifestyle. Some of the formations I have undertaken include Kinesiology, Reiki Usui and Karuna, Coaching based on Personality Typologies, Quiromassage, Visceral Massage, Reflexology, Acupuncture, Oriental Esthetics, and Aromatherapy. I am an instructor in Mindfulness, Yoga, Yoga Dance, Conscious Dance, and Uterine Dance.
My studies extend to Classical Tantra and Neo Tantra, the Hologram of Major and Celestial Chakras, and expertise as a therapist in Female Cyclicality and Sacred Sexuality. I am a facilitator for Yoni Eggs, offering Taoist Massage for the Uterus, Ovaries, and Chest, as well as Taoist Breathing for Yoni Egg accompaniment.
My work includes the Liberation of Bonds through Sacred Feminine Rites. In my recent endeavors, I have also become a Therapist in Kundalini Innerdance and Mettasomatic.
Currently, I guide women in connecting with their Feminine Energy and Sacred Sexuality. I facilitate Personal and Spiritual Development Practices in Retreats and serve as an Aromatherapy Trainer.
Gema García Castillejos
Since adolescence, one of my passions has been working with people with different abilities, both as a volunteer and professionally.
I obtained a diploma in Therapeutic Pedagogy, and specialized in Early Childhood Intervention and Therapeutic Psychomotricity from childhood to old age, as well as in sign language.
I volunteered in Peru at a center in the jungle with people with disabilities, and I have also worked in assisted living homes, supporting and facilitating daily activities for dependent individuals. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to work professionally in early intervention at the Down Syndrome Foundation of Madrid and AFANDEM in Móstoles, as a Therapist and Psychomotrician.
I am a mother of three children, who have been my light and have allowed me to truly connect with my needs and focus on the path I am currently on. I am passionate about yoga and truly enjoy the practice as a path toward self-discovery, which led me this past year to train as a 200-hour yoga teacher at Matrika Yoga School.
Enjoying time with my family and friends, nature, animals, reading, traveling, conscious and healthy eating, and living a life connected to and in tune with my true needs are what nourish and drive who I truly am.
Dr. Ajit
Training in the Kerala Ayurvedic tradition and Panchakarma techniques in 1996. Yoga training with Satish Bhramchari and Swami Atmabodh in 1997. After a few years of clinical practice, I completed an M.Phil in Panchakarma Therapy in Ayurveda: a research study on Kati Basti for lower back pain with Kheerbala Tailam in 2009. I currently treat patients at Ojas Clinic, Vishwanand Kendra, and KEM Hospital in Pune. I travel to Europe to teach Ayurveda.
My practice is based on the ancient teachings of Charaka and Vagbhata, as well as modern masters. I am passionate about the power and wisdom of Ayurveda and the need for authenticity. I share this understanding through small classes taught at the Pune Clinic to students from Europe and the United States for Ayurveda training. I work to make Ayurveda evidence-based and apply objective parameters to Panchakarma treatments, which is why I am working in Ayurvedic engineering.

Since I was little I have been passionate about the great hidden mysteries of life…
At 20 years after training as a cook I decided to move to Ibiza where I started working in the kitchens of Personal Growth Retreat Centers; Yoga, meditation, shamanism, emotional intelligence, Taoism, expressive movement…
Throughout this period of time I learn to accompany and support the internal processes of the people who attend, in addition to taking care of their Food and Nutrition for Life. Macrobiotics, Ayurveda, Alkaline Diet, Detox, Raw Food…
These are some of the techniques that I was experimenting with, finally specializing in “Energy Nutrition” based mainly on the 5 Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
