I’m Lavanga, a native Texan who, at around the age of 8, began questioning the religious construct I was born into.  Drawn to natural healing, during my teen years I became fascinated with living a vegetarian lifestyle and I practiced yoga in my bedroom.  At 18, I began studying herbalism, Western astrology, crystal healing, and tarot.  At the urging of my tarot mentor, I started reading professionally in 1987.  Since then, my spiritual and professional lives have been intertwined.

In the 1990s, I became a Reiki Master and massage therapist, eventually going deeper into healing the body/mind/spirit through Shiatsu, Thai massage, Ayurveda, aromatherapy, biofield tuning, and becoming a registered yoga teacher.

I was initiated into a 5,000 year old Bhakti yoga lineage and in 2005 became a practicing priestess in this tradition.  Since 2011 I have been offering classes in the Bhagavad Gita and other ancient yoga texts, leading kirtan (musical mantra meditation), officiating Vedic fire ceremonies and representing my tradition in interfaith communities.

In 2018, my interest in yoga, Ayurveda and the philosophy they are based on led me to find my latest passion – Vedic Astrology.  In 2022 I became certified by the American Academy of Vedic Art & Science.  Also known as Jyotish (the science of light) this practice allows me to utilize all of the knowledge and skills I have acquired over the past 35+ years in an exciting way which I am thrilled to share.
