KRISTA NOVAKOWSKI

Krista is a Lioness who began her studies of Yoga and meditation in her Canadian homeland. In 2005 she graduated from the Integrative Energy Healing Program at Langara College in Vancouver. The three-year comprehensive study of energy and consciousness was a life-forming experience for her, and afterward she knew it was time to return to India and focus on one path. When she found the Agama Yoga program in Rishikesh in 2006 she was thrilled, as these teachings seemed to mirror her understandings and feelings about the Universe, yet were available in a very practical form.

Her fascination led her to Thailand to continue the teachings and to eventually complete the 24-month Kundalini Program in 2009. She continues with Advanced Studies in the powerful tradition of Kashmiri Shaivism, which inspires her to open her heart to the experience of Shiva. These teachings have brought her to the understanding that there is nothing outside of consciousness.

She began teaching in 2008, which she considers a great blessing in this life and she is honored to be a channel of Shiva. In 2009 in Thailand she began to lead the Shakti Group, which focuses on Tantric training for women. She is thankful for this most sacred opportunity of sharing the journey of awakening and opening to the Divine Feminine. This experience has been pure beauty.

Her heart flows with gratitude for her teachers Swami Vivekananda, Sahajananda, and Mihaiela Pentiuc, and she is ever thankful for the practice of Agama Yoga and Hridaya Meditation, which have led her deeper into stillness and bliss.
