roots
Karendayal's life has always been immersed in spirituality, yoga and the healing arts, strengthened and guided by Eastern thought and philosophy.  Her true teacher/therapist roots began and took hold at the age of 5, a few years after her brother was diagnosed with Werdnig Hoffman Disease.  Medically, they were told that children with this disease did not live past theage of 2 and that he would die.The medical profession had nothing to offer him at the time except for a "2 year life expectancy," so the family needed to seek an alternative route to see if he could be saved.  Karendayal grew up in a household that, through these circumstances, offered her the opportunity to study and experience beginning at such a young age alongside her brother's therapists, chiropractors, deep muscle therapists, acupuncturists, chinese/tibetan medicine healers, and an array of leading edge complimentary and wholistic healthcare providers.  She was always in their books and charts, being quizzed, watching, and being instructed on what to do to help facilitate continued life for her brother. Massaging, moving limbs with passive yogic asanas, exploring energy, guided imagery, power of the mind and thoughts,prayer, sound currents, and spirituality were her playground.  Her not your average childhood journey had allowed her to receive the highest form of education/transmission, transferred through amazing life experiences, before she began her professional training in the healing arts at the age of 16. It was around that time, that she also started to practice yoga more deeply for herself. Before even graduating highschool she was already accepted and enrolled into a Professional Massage Therapy School. She was told by the director that at that time, she was the youngest student they ever accepted into the Bancroft School Program in '92. Along with her intensive therapist studies, Karendayal would arrive "extra early" before her class day would begin to practice yoga with her shiatsu teacher. Soon all her extra credit, and projects were on the topic of yoga, energy anatomy and unifying yoga with massage. She began teaching her massage therapy clients yoga as part of there post treatments. After years of self study and personal practice  she was enrolled in her first 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training Program in '97

blessings

The true miracle and blessing is that, through natural medicine, an array of healing modalities and complimentary healthcare, a heart full of love, and a big life purpose to live out, her brother has surpassed all the odds and is still living today (which is rare, to say the least, since the life expectancy of someone with his condition is still only 2 years). Now in his 30's, her brother Kevin is bound by a motorized wheelchair with his over a 90 degree curve of scoliosis of his spine. (after his vertebra come down his neck you will find his spine on his side... (and a list of mind blowing symptoms that through the grace of god and a huge personal life purpose to live out, does he still function and live on earth!) He has personal care attendants around the clock to serve his physical daily living needs, but lives independently in his own home in Nashville,TN and follows his bliss  as a country music songwriter with a Masters Degree in Psychology!  Karendayal truly lives and understands the meaning of "there are no limits or boundaries except for the limitations one puts on themselves within their own mind."  Perservering through her own lifes challenges along her path and having the gift of her brother, she grew up with and now professionally teaches and inspires others on the mind's influence over the body and our thoughts, and the power of your mind and thoughts as the creative force to your reality.  She began her professional private practice in 1993 and continues to grow and serve both professionally and personally. She is intuitively guided and continually creates and lives her own ever changing bliss life ~ through living yoga along her souls path.
