Kamala Devi Amanda Barrows has been immersed in the field of health
and wellness for around two decades now. Having started her journey at
the University of Maine in Farmington and earning her Bachelors of
Science in Community Health Education, she soon discovered her deeper
calling to the holistic practices of Yoga and the Healing Arts. She has
been a yoga teacher since 2001, and received her training initially
through AAAI and AFAA. She later deepened her practice and teaching by
completing the 200 and 300 hr Advanced YTT through the ShivaShakti
School of Yoga starting in 2009. Alongside her yoga journey, Kamala also
became a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2005 through the Downeast School
of Massage and went on to continue her bodywork education in several
modalities including Reiki, Myofascial Release, Deep Massage: The
Integration of Structure and Energy, Thai Yoga Massage, and Ayurvedic
Head/Face & Foot Massage.
All of these practices
inform one another and find their expression in Kamala's offerings.
Kamala feels most at home offering nourishing and
relaxing practices to help release the layers of tension/patterns that
may block the vital energy from flowing freely and the inner light from
shining brightly. Her ultimate goal is to
support each individual in being their best Self and allowing their
inner light to shine. This is the essence that guides
her and she looks forward to connecting with those who resonate with her
practice.
