OUR
STORY
SoulHeart Yoga Academy grew out of people's need for access to a technology that works for everyone and has quick and effective results for a busy world. Looking for ways to improve her health, Atma Chanan began to practice Kundalini in 2016 daily with amazing results. She soon noticed her nervous, hormonal, and immune systems were stronger, and immersed herself into the science of ancient yogis, deepening her practice. While working closely with her mentors and teachers, she became certified as a teacher and trainer, participating and teaching in a global community of Kundalini Yoga practitioners she never imagined possible. Soon afterward, she partnered with organizations to spread this technology and founded with them SoulHeartYoga, a space to help people heal themselves.
From this transformative experience, SoulHeart Yoga Academy is born, offering a combination of healing modalities for body relaxation and mental clarity bringing together the wisdom of ancient traditions: Ayurvedic Lifestyle, Yoga Science & Tantric Techniques, the three pillars of Eastern philosophy covering Nutrition, Breath in Movement, Connection, Caliber & Authenticity. Our school is a safe container for you to experience awakening and self-healing.
Kundalini Yoga & Meditation is our backbone because it helps to balance all physical, mental, and emotional systems, including your nerves and glands, bringing balance and building your core strength from the inside out. It relies on repetitive movement and breath patterns that anyone, with or without yoga experience, can follow. Our ultimate goal is to awaken the light of your wisdom for success and radiance. They are accessible to all because we believe it’s our birthright to heal ourselves, love each other, and connect from our true essence.

SoulheartYoga and Melassa Foundation Grassroots Collaboration
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world,” Margaret Mead
Melassa is non-profit organization, founded in 2001, dedicated to bring social awareness in Latin American and Latino communities, as well as a space to bridge people across border lines. Their philosophy is based on inclusion and unity, while exploring all American identities and ancestral lineages–African, Native American, and European; Eastern/Western Cosmologies.
SoulHeartYoga Academy partners with Melassa Foundation offering social justice and wellness trips with activists, professors, school teachers, musicians, healers, as well as non-profit organizations and communities. Depending on the theme of each trip, SoulHeartYoga and Melassa will design an agenda of heartfelt activities, and provide lodging, ground transportation, two meals a day, and do all the logistics for you to visit museums, outings, exchange with local people and organizations, and participate in local grassroots and music events.
Each visit is tied to a wealth of cultural knowledge, historical significance, inclusion, combined with other fun and relaxing activities.
Travel with us and immerse yourself in a cultural experience by the ocean shores of Santo Domingo, a city that was declared oral patrimony for the humanity by the United Nations for its musical traditions and Old Colonial City. Its historical richness reveals itself in the warmth of the local people and magnificent nature sites.
Meet with activists, professors, school teachers and children, state officials and educators, and share each other’s knowledges in a constructive, learning environment. Witness how the social history of the Americas and its political syncretism have impacted our families and our ancestral lineages, and practice how to be a “cultural ally” while exploring the intersections where history has brought us together or set us apart.
Supporting Team
Of Our Graduates.
In August of 2021, SoulHeartYoga joined SaberAmar in the initiative to bring Kundalini Yoga to community contexts, and train students interested in taking this technology to their work environments, parks, friends and families, foundations, Seva projects, and more. After three in-person retreats and many Zoom classes, eight students graduated this past April 2022 from our 50-hour Certification program. Half of them moved on to the 200-hr Certification program and many of them are currently teaching. A big thanks to Carmen Julia Carrasco, co-founder of Saber Amar and yoga teacher for many years who brought this group together along with Atma Chanan Kaur who facilitated the training and put together the curriculum for the first Level 1 Teacher's Training in the Dominican Republic.
