Komala Lyra Komala was introduced to Ayurveda in 1980, in Southern India. Since then she has studied with various teachers worldwide, and practiced as an Ayurveda consultant and educator in the USA, Europe, India and Brazil. Living many years in the community around the mystic Osho, she worked as a group facilitator using a vast array of therapeutic and healing modalities centered in meditation. This training gave her a profound awareness of energetics and interpersonal dynamics in the alignment of body, heart, and soul. Komala’s approach merges science with intuition, integrating Eastern and Western lifestyles. She brings a fresh perspective to traditional teachings, transforming understanding into experience, perception into sensibility. Her presentations are highly inspirational. Respecting the uniqueness of each individual, she invites their potential to flower. “My life has been dedicated to awaken the aliveness that I recognize to be source-love-light-silence. Spirituality now is the direct experience of this vibrating force, moment to moment, within each breath." Originally from Brazil, Komala works internationally presenting Ayurveda-Yoga-Tantra programs in beautiful places around the planet. www.ayurvedamandala.net [email protected] |

After completing a psychology degree at the University of Cape Town in South Africa she moved to London where she completed further education in Somatic Psychotherapy. She studied Reichian Bodywork with Gerda Boyesen . and completed a two year professional course. While in London she studied the humanistic psychologies that were emerging from Esalen Institute in California. These included Psychodrama, Gestalt and Family systems. In 1976 Vasumati went to India to meet the Guru Bhagwan Rajneesh and spent many years in India learning meditation, working in the commune and practicing therapy in individual and group settings. This experience in India brought her to the understanding that there is a new type of therapy emerging called the Psychology of the Buddhas.This approach understood that the traditional therapies of analysis and later of emotional discharge could not promote change and healing on deeper levels if meditation was not brought in. And up to the present day Vasumati´s work is based on the interface between psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation. In 1990 she became interested in Co dependency and trained in couple counseling at the Couples Institute in Palo Alto California..Today she works in a group, training and individual setting in Couple, Relationship and Family Therapy. Her work takes place in a gentle and non invasive space, clients are supported to compassionately enquire into the issues and conflicts, fears, and tensions that hold us back from living at our full potential. Self understanding and communication skills provide the basis for deepening our intimate connections with each other. This will lead to respect, appreciation and a healthy mature love. www.vasumati.info [email protected] |
