Meditating in the Himalayas
Christina Erl, Jyotishi, Yogi, Writer, Teacher

A little bit about my journey…

I was initiated into yoga in my early 20s. After several decades of seeking & living yoga, I travelled to India to receive the light at the Source of these most ancient teachings. There, in the foothills of the Himalayas, I immersed myself for many months in study & transformation at the Sattva Ashram with my beloved Guru & Master Teacher, Anand Ji. It was in the Himalayas where I received initiation into the wisdom teachings of the most ancient and profound yogic science of Jyotish, also known as the Science of Light, the Eye of the Veda ~ commonly known as Vedic Astrology.

Together with many years of experience in the healing arts, I practice living the evolutionary path by endeavouring to integrate Vedic wisdom and yogic sciences into all aspects of my life & journey.

Supporting individuals in their own spiritual evolution has been a lifelong passion. I continue to work in devotion to living the evolutionary path by offering Himalayan Kriya Yoga classes, workshops, retreats, Jyotish readings, articles, books, Vedic Mentorship Programs and 1:1 sessions.

By the Grace of Divine Mother, I will be returning to the Himalayas in January of 2026 to complete my Masters in Yog-Vedantic teachings & more… I very much look forward to returning & sharing these sacred teachings in community with sincere seekers.

Please subscribe to my Light Letters to be included in updates along my travels & receive offerings & invitation to online classes as I travel.

YOGA is
the Science of Consciousness

I have spent my life studying, practicing, living and breathing yoga as a spiritual science and art. Having personally experienced and many times witnessed, the power of these ancient wisdom teachings to transform someone’s life, it has become a deep passion of mine to bring more depth and authenticity to our understanding of yoga in the West.

Yoga asana is indeed a wonderful and healthy physical practice, but yoga is also so much more. Yoga is fundamentally about our state of consciousness and its evolution. It is part of my work to bring more of the Yog-Vedantic, Himalayan Kriya and Tantric traditions of yoga to genuine hearts in search of their Divine truth and dharma.

The Vedic Sciences of Yoga, Meditation and Jyotish are meant to help us evolve as eternal souls & live in harmony with the Laws of Nature, Spirit, our highest dharma.

Karma ~ Kriya ~ Dharma

Yoga is the Science of Consciousness. It is through self-realization that we are able to truly heal, liberate and live our highest potential. Jyotish helps us to see ourselves clearly from the deepest level of soul and as an integral aspect of the Yog-Vedantic tradition, offers us clarity, technologies and tools for overcoming any challenge in life.
