Ma Nithyananda Nischala began her studies of yoga in southern California in 1998
in the Ashtanga tradition. Through her first contact with yoga she realized
that it was the path for her. In the year 2000 she received her 200 hour certification
through the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, and became a Registered Yoga Teacher
(RYT) with the Yoga Alliance.
In 2003, she opened a small center, Gilbert Yoga, starting out with two
teachers, herself and a dear friend. Now a yoga community with 27 classes each
week and ten teachers, it has an ever growing and transforming energy of its
own.
In August of 2006 she met her Guru, Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda.
Five months later she was enrolled in the Nithya Yoga Teacher Training in India.
In her
own words, ‘After attending the nearly three week teacher training it was time
for me to return home to my now 3 year old yoga studio where I had been leading
‘Gentle Yoga’, ‘Yoga Flow’, and ‘All Level Yoga’ classes. On my first day
back I gazed into the eyes of my ‘Gentle Yoga’ students and began to grin.
‘What?’ they said. I replied, ‘I can’t teach you anything less than what
I now know to be the truest form of yoga; Nithya Yoga’. I had had such profound
experiences practicing Nithya Yoga that I felt it unfair to teach my students
anything other. Through practicing and teaching Nithya Yoga I have
experienced the Truth - that Bliss is who we are and it is possible every day
to feel it, express it and radiate it. In classes I teach, I now see
students shining with light and bliss, so grateful for the opportunity to
practice Nithya Yoga. After class I hear comments such as,
‘life-changing’, ‘amazing’, and ‘finally a yoga that feels right in every
aspect’. ‘Thank you so much for bringing this home to us’ they say.’
Thank You Swamiji...to You I offer my deepest
Gratitude for giving me the tools to touch Samadhi and live a life of Bliss.

Ma Nithyananda Bodhaana resides in Ohio, USA and she owns both a massage
business and yoga studio in the small town of Yellow Springs. She is
a certified yoga teacher, a licensed massage therapist, a wife and a mother,
which brings great depth to her teaching.
Although she completed the 500 hour USA Yoga Alliance Certificate,
it was her experience through Swami Nithyananda, in Nithya Yoga Teachers
Training, at the Dhyanapeetam Ashram in India, that solidified her Being to
Yoga.
In her own words; ‘Before Nithya Yoga, I could not understand the
word Bliss. Although yoga had brought me to a deeper understanding of myself in
the past, I had never experienced letting go and being moved by Bliss, by
Existence itself. During our yoga sessions at Dhyanapeetam, I encountered the
state of Bliss and sustained and expressed it almost continuously. I can now
only think of sharing yoga, Nithya Yoga, in the way it was meant to be
experienced’.

Ma Nithyananda Premeshwari Mayi was working as a Softwear Engineer in Michigan, USA, until she realized that her real interest was in helping people find happiness.When she met Paramahamsa Nithyananda a few years ago, she connected immediately with his
teachings as they were also centered around spreading bliss. Soon after, she became initiated as a Nithya
Spiritual Healer and also got certified as a meditation teacher (Acharya) for first level meditation
program.
In her own words, 'I have learnt Yoga in the US for a few years now, and while they were all helpful in giving me a good
stretch or a workout, I always felt there was something deeper in yoga that was missing in these classes.
Being born and raised in India I felt maybe I should learn yoga from a knowledgable yoga master from India,
right from the source! I was simply thrilled when Nithyananda himself offered the truths of yoga as
originally intended and designed by Patanjali (the father of Yoga), in the form of Nithya Yoga. After
going through the Nithya Yoga training, I now understand the deeper significance of yoga and have
experienced the benefits far more than in any of my previous classes. Now I hope to use Nithya Yoga
as one more way to spread peace, love and bliss, by helping the students experience physical, mental
and emotional well being'.

He graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Economics and from The Reese School of Massage Therapy with a specialty in Shiatsu Bodywork. For years he taught Yoga and Shiatsu classes at The Florida School of Acupuncture and the Reese Institute of Massage Therapy. In October of 2007, Paramahamsa Nithyananda visited Orlando and Sri Ekan and His wife were blessed to be able to attend His weekend intensive NSP. In Sri Ekan’s own words. ‘I fell in love with the inner experience of being with an enlightened master. It seemed only natural to continue into bringing His message of enlightenment to our yoga studio. Even though Anusara Yoga’s system is set up with Universal Alignment Principals that work completely on aligning the body, mind and spirit, I feel Nithya Yoga will deepen the spiritual connection through Nithyananda who links with the essence of Patanjali. I have always wanted to incorporate more meditation and the other elements of Nithya Yoga and now I am so very happy to have this beautiful system to offer that is supported with the power and Grace
of Swamiji’s spiritual sadhana and attainment and the lineage of Patanjali!‘
