Singing, Mantra and Bhakti Yoga Teacher Bio: 

Ananda Das's signature techniques deliver massive breakthroughs in opening, enriching and expanding the range and depth of the voice. In addition, his techniques are profound for healing singing trauma, building confidence and improving performance. He has been teaching and transforming lives since 2011. In 2021, he created the Modern Bhakti Yoga Academy, an online platform with courses to educate and support people in their devotional journey. His passion to share and teach about mantra has helped countless heal, elevate and be inspired to incorporate mantra and bhakti into their lives.  


Yoga Teacher Bio:

Ananda Das has a passion for sharing devotional yoga practices that open the heart, heal wounds, energize the whole being and deepen your connection with the divine. He loves to theme his classes with a deity, explain their archetype and make them relatable to one's life. This helps people elevate their emotions, feelings and life circumstances to a higher perspective. By connecting with the deity in this way it imparts a transmission and empowerment for the student.

He shares Himalayan Kundalini Sattva Yoga which is a wholistic blend of postures, breath work, dynamic movements, and meditation for a potent and integrative approach. 

Ananda had been a dedicated practitioner and teacher of Kundalini Yoga as taught by the Kundalini Research Institute since 2006. In April 2020, life shifted his trajectory and he fell in love with the Sattva Yoga tradition.  He completed a 300hr teacher training along with an 18 day, 60 hour course on the Bhagavad Gita just outside Rishikesh, India.  Both were taught by Anand Mehrotra, a Himalayan yogic master who has profoundly inspired him on the yogic path.

In addition to his BA in international and sustainable business, he has a minor in East Asian Religions and studied yogic philosophy at the University of Oregon and the Dharmalaya (2003-2009).

Cacao Ceremony Bio:

Ananda has been leading cacao ceremonies since 2010.  While traveling in Guatemala in 2009, Ananda had a profound experience with the spirit of cacao. He went on to connect with a cacao shaman in Lake Atitlan who shared with him his way of holding cacao ceremonies and how to connect with the spirit of cacao. Upon Ananda's return to the states, he began to share ceremonial space with this special cacao he brought back from Guatemala.  Since 2010, he has shared over 100 ceremonies both nationally and internationally and even led a cacao ceremony intensive at the Esalen Institute.
