I offer clients astrological readings based on birth chart and current astrological influences. What differentiates me is: specialist in transits, specialist in midlife transits (those occurring between age 38 and 56), life path analysis, astro coaching. My clients see visible results especially in target areas like their love lives, career choices, marital problems, life path, timing. I help people stay on track with their soul’s purpose, understand their current challenges, and gain hope for resolution of problems.

I started studying astrology at 9 years old, started doing readings for other people at age 19. Extensive life experience in working with people has really been the best training. Have also done some training in related areas such as psychic development, hypnotherapy, and other tools to help people work through blocks. I maintain a widely read astrological blog at www.midlifetransits.com/blog. I provide free monthly horoscopes, have written a number of articles on astrology, have contributed to the ThirdAge.com blog, and written horoscopes for other publications.

Through hands-on work and experiential re-education with self-sensing and movement, Lucien is committed to help his patients and students regain an intimate connection with their beings by improving their physical and mental wellness in a pleasant and effortless way. He helps them rediscover the joy and comfort of a balanced body-mind, and reconnect with the innate ability to direct their own healing and achieve their full potential.

Lucien grew up among the indigenous peoples of Ecuador, where he became an apprentice of Shuar Uwishins (shamans) in the Amazon jungles and with Kichwa Yachags (Inka healers) in the Andean highlands. He later moved to California where he encountered and immersed himself in Moshe Feldenkrais' revolutionary discoveries expressed through the Feldenkrais Method®. Lucien strongly believes in the importance of self-sensing, touch and experiential movement to all aspects of life, which ultimately can lead to greater awareness and to a deeper experience of health and humanity.

Lucien Demaris holds a Master's degree in Acupuncture & Traditional Oriental Medicine and is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais® Practitioner. He is also a Nationally Certified bodyworker trained in Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Shiatsu, Thai Meridian Therapy and Yoga. He has been an explorer of human potential through dedicated indigenous studies and embodiment practices for 20 years.

I have been a yoga “dabbler” since age 20. Like many people, I didn’t develop a steady practice until injuries and severe back pain brought me (on my knees) back to yoga. Having avoided back surgery and, as a bonus, experienced the transformational physical, emotional and spiritual effects of a regular practice, I became passionate about teaching others. My “come as you are” approach encourages students to practice safe alignment, to honor and listen to their bodies, and to use the breath as a master tool for self-awareness. I practice several healing modalities, primarily Reiki and Oneness Blessing (also called “deeksha”) and bring these energies into my class, sometimes offering a hands-on treat during savasana. I am a graduate of the Santa Monica Yoga 200-hr. teacher training program and a member of Yoga Alliance.

Bodywork is Art. I encourage my clients to tune into the sense of wellbeing they want to experience when they leave my treatment room and move through their lives. Drawing from a colorful palette of tools including Cranial Sacral Unwinding, Massage, Polarity Therapy, Reiki, and Thai Yoga, my clients and I co-create healing experiences that manifest their intentions.

Movement is Medicine. I learned about the body as a young dancer. Dance taught me about grace, power, beauty and expression, and also fragility, limitation, humility, and patience. My journey as a dancer and bodyworker has taught me that organic movement coupled with breath, intention and compassion are potent healing forces. I developed DYNAMIC GROOVE to encourage energy and emotions to move through the body, relationships and life in a healthy and effective way. Dynamic Groove is a powerful system of experiential movement that increases your life energy, strengthens and relaxes your body and trains your mind to be attentive.

When I first started my journey of Yoga, I never would have thought of myself becoming a teacher. I never liked being in front of a group and speaking in public. But as my practice deepened I started to feel a shift in myself that has given me the confidence and passion to pass on my knowledge of Yoga so that others can experience the power of self-transformation that Yoga gave me and gives to all of us.

I like to instruct with specific alignment instructions and sequence of postures to slowly open and strengthen the body in a safe and purposeful way, finding and connecting with the intelligence of our bodies.

I am a certified Yoga Alliance teacher completing my 200hour at Yogaworks Teacher Training with Annie Carpenter and Brigitte Kristen and my 300hour Professional Program under the mentorship of Annie Carpenter. I am currently studying Yoga Therapy at Loyola Marymount University to learn how to apply Yoga for people with chronic pain and conditions.

I first became interested in skincare after listening to the external beauty issues of many women.  My philosophy is that beauty lives inside each one of us.  It’s not just about what we do to the outside but what we radiate from the inside that makes us beautiful. I approach each individual with a sense of joy and gratitude and view each treatment as an opportunity for deep healing. I aim to provide relaxing and nourishing treatments, often times incorporating Reflexology and massage to assist healing on an even deeper level. As an aesthetician, I am extremely passionate about quality and always use the purest and most restorative skincare products I can find.  I do my best to tailor each treatment to the very specific needs of the individual while filling the room with the energies of love and empowerment.  I earned my credentials from the Culver City Beauty College and The American Academy of Reflexology. I continue to challenge myself with ongoing workshops and lectures.

I was born and raised in Japan and Feng Shui was part of my culture. After moving to the United States, I studied the Tibetan Tantric Buddhist Black Hat Sect form of Feng Shui, which is clean, straightforward, and aesthetically pleasing. My teachers include Nate Batoon, Dr. Alma Christina, and Karen Rauch Carter.

Feng Shui is a way to mindfully organize your environment so that it fully supports your goals in life. Since I started reapplying Feng Shui to my life, many opportunities have opened up in my professional and personal life. It is fascinating to witness how Feng Shui can manifest success in my own and my clients’ lives. I offer Feng Shui consultation for apartments, homes, offices, and businesses. My goal is to educate people about arranging, de-cluttering, and organizing their living and working spaces to bring more harmony into their lives. I enjoy sharing my unique, fun approach to Feng Shui by skillfully blending the principles of Feng Shui design with my knowledge and experience in psychotherapy, holistic health, and metaphysics.

Trained in the Vinyasa style, I am a strong supporter of the breath and it’s powerful influence on the flow of a class. I first came to the practice in 2003 and yoga soon became a way of being. What fascinates me most is that there is no limit to one’s learning--Yoga provides a continual evolution of body, mind and spirit.
I encourage students to find their “edge” and play with moving beyond it while listening to their bodies. In my classes, there is no race to the finish line, just a supportive sanctuary where you can play, discover, float and restore.

I completed the 200-hour teaching certification program at Sonic Yoga in NYC and soon after began teaching at a handful of studios in the Big Apple including The Chopra Center of NYC. I also worked with several 5 star hotels, as a personalized in-room instructor.

Most recently, I spent 3 months in South Africa teaching at a boy’s orphanage and was truly amazed at how this miraculous practice translates to anyone, of any age, in any language.

Kaitlyn is a Yoga Works trained and Yoga Alliance registered teacher with over 10 years of experience. Her teaching style ranges from vigorous flow classes to gentle and restorative, always with an emphasis on alignment and the breath. Yoga has helped her to recognize the power within each of us live a life that is full and satisfying and her classes are a reflection of that. She has completed over 500 hours of training and has been fortunate enough to assist and be influenced by both Carmen Fitzgibbon and Sara Ivanhoe. Most recently she has become a student of Mysore style Ashtanga yoga under the guidance of Sonya Cottle.

Discovering yoga 10 years ago in the midst of working in the fast- paced travel and hospitality industry, I quickly realized that my yoga practice was and still is the biggest gift I could have ever given myself. Working through challenging poses on my mat , I found an inner peace and serenity that grounded and uplifted me. Taking these lessons into the real world, I started to apply them into my daily life. It didn’t take me long to realize that one day I would share my joy and new sense of balanced calmness with all those around me.

Always exploring different methods of yoga through the years, my love of movement and dance gravitated me toward a Vinyasa Flow practice. Consequently, after moving to Los Angeles in 2003 from San Francisco, I continued my practice and studies with the Yoga Works School, completing the 500 Hour Teacher Training in 2008. There, I studied with and am still inspired by my teachers Lisa Walford, Birgitte Kristen and Malachi Melville.

My classes offer a blend of mindful flow and gentler restorative poses. While focusing on fundamental body alignment, I emphasize finding a graceful flow between the union of movement and breath. I strive to guide students inward to their own discovery of self in a light- hearted and nurturing environment. I am continually exploring and learning in my own journey as a student and teacher and feel truly blessed to be able to share all of the endless gifts of yoga.

I began a yoga practice for its physical benefits and realized that it was more than just stretching. Yoga opened the door of a mental and spiritual world, integrating the breath and guiding me to a deeper practice. It has strengthened me mentally as well as physically.

Yoga is a necessary compliment to my life and lifestyle. I discovered that my practice “on the mat” is parallel to my practice “off the mat”. My practice serves me in every aspect of my life of teaching, relationships, training and most importantly, living.

I am a 500 hour certified Yoga Alliance teacher, completing the Yoga Works 500 hour teacher training and Yoga Works Prenatal teacher training in Santa Monica under the guidance and influence of many gifted teachers including Annie Carpenter, Lisa Walford, Patti Asad and Thomas Taubman.

I am a certified practitioner of Shamanic Energy Healing as taught by The Four Winds Society, a school founded by Dr. Alberto Villoldo. This work found me when I was working as a Reiki practitioner and a synchronistic meeting with a woman who offered me a Shamanic Session. This began to align me in the path of Indigenous healing arts and wisdom. I find that it is such a blessing to share this work with others as it has given me so many sacred tools to navigate my life more gracefully. In my work I am passionate about assisting my clients in empowering themselves by tapping into their own inner-healer abilities and using that energy to shift their lives for the better. 

Shamanic Energy Healing is an opportunity to step into healing and come into balance with your life and the flow of the Universe.  In this work we aim to bypass the loops and chatter of the mind and transcend into the place of the pure energetic, to shift problems at the Source. Your inner healing abilities work with Spirit to engage you in a journey of healing.  Depending on each client’s needs one or more techniques are utilized, such as Illumination, Extraction, Soul Retrieval etc. Each session begins with opening Sacred Space, calling of the four directions, power animals, and spirit guides to assist you on your healing journey.
