ABOUT
My name is Jagadambika Alisa, welcome to this website.
​I am a trained and experienced Yoga teacher with a classical training in the ancient practice and philosophy of Yoga. I was born in 1990 in Lich, a beautiful town surrounded by nature close to Frankfurt, Germany. Ever since I can think, I find a lot of connection and inspiration in music and nature. With the wish of learning to play the piano, I started playing piano at the age of 7. This builds the foundation of my current exploration of sound and vibration. I explore the practice of Kirtan, Mantra Chanting, focusing on its effects on our body, mind and spirit, connecting to subtler planes of perception. 

During my studies in Mathematics (M.Sc) in Scotland and Germany, I discovered the spiritual path. Soon after, in 2014 I left to India to learn about Yoga. I felt to be at the right place in the exact right moment. During my stay in the Sivananda Ashram in Kerala, South India, I found many answers to my longing for a deeper meaning. Ever since, I explore the path of Self discovery and share this knowledge with love and full attention, wherever I go. 
When I first visited the Ashram in New York one year after my training, I received Mantra Initiation and my spiritual name Jagadambika. The Sanskrit name translates into 'mother of the universe', reminding me of our divine essence and the support that I wish to give to the people I meet. 
Under the guidance of my spiritual teacher and inspired by my personal practice, I today share Yoga Events, Classes, Retreats and Kirtan Events, opening the space to find our innermost home.
As the dearest practice to me at this moment is Bhakti Yoga, the path of love and devotion, I am also teaching Harmonium Lessons. I wish to pass on the key to that flame of devotion that lies within all of us and spread the power and healing effects of Mantra Music. 

Over the last years I mainly lived in ashrams located in the Bahamas, Colombia and New York, assisting Yoga Teacher Training Courses, studying and teaching Yoga Philosophy and how to invite divinity into daily life. 
During one of these ashram stays in the Bahamas, I met Narayana (all the photo credit of this page goes to him!), with whom I so much enjoy sharing the power of Yoga together, inside and outside of the ashram setting in Europe, the US and Mexico. During the Corona Pandemic we founded the Community Project Sadhana Now together,  that facilitates bringing Yoga philosophy into your life through online study courses, wherever you are. We wish to benefit society and encourage growth and your personal spiritual evolution.
I am passionate about living joyfully and free and wish to inspire you to do the same.
Thank you for exploring this site. Please join me at one of the upcoming events and let us grow together.
With love, 
Jagadambika Alisa
