Peace Invocation
Om saha navavatu
Om. May we both be protected.
May we exert together to find the true meaning of the sacred text.
May our studies be fruitful.
May we never quarrel with each other.

About Us
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.
