About Us
My Yoga Journey
It has been six years since I resigned from my position as an elementary school teacher in Atlanta, Georgia to begin my Yogic journey and form the Naga Yoga Legacy. After returning from my training with Master Teacher Yirser Ra Hotep the summer of 2012, I made the decision to transform my home into the Healing Earth Temple and my life was never the same again! I spent two years in Seva at my Healing Earth Temple in Atlanta, Georgia, where I served my community in every capacity. I hosted Yoga teacher trainings, women's healing retreats, community wellness events and gave free Yoga workshops every week. It was like a non-stop train of amazing experiences & lessons that has shaped my life in so many positive and uplifting ways! During those two years, the experiences with the souls that I encountered would show me so much about who I am and where I need to grow. It was an amazing time that I wouldn't change for the world! Since then, I have had an amazing time expanding my network across four continents and over ten countries around the world! It has opened my eyes to the amazing possibilities that life has to offer when I fully step into my life purpose without fear!
I trust that you all will find THE KEMETIC YOGI ZONE to be a place that will assist you in finding your path to wellness. It is also a place where you can begin, continue and also advance your wellness journey. It is my belief that our own life is our most important wellness journey. For that reason, I have committed this space to providing exciting, interactive and meaningful wellness experiences that you all can incorporate in your own journey of transformation. It is my desire to share with you all that has been shared with me, divine love and guidance. Along with my wonderful team of beautiful souls, I have created a plethora of wellness services & activities, retreat & workshops, in addition to a socially responsible Naga Shop for you to heal, restore and manifest your true divinity. Enjoy your stay in the Kemetic Yogi Zone. Namashe

Back To Nature Movement
"The Back To Nature Movement is about taking this ancient healing technology that we call Yoga and practicing it in the highest frequency element available: NATURE. We use the frequencies of the sun to heal and illuminate our energy bodies. The bare earth beneath our feet connects us to the core energy of the earth, grounding us in our purpose and true essence. There is no higher spiritual practice than coming to nature as you were delivered from your mother’s womb. We are connecting back to the source which is the Great Mother of us ALL and we are doing it as a community, a village, a tribe."
Roots, Culture & Spirituality Movement
The Roots, Culture & Spirituality Movement is geared towards connecting Diasporan Africans back to Africa spiritually, culturally and economically, however it is not just limited to Diasporan Africans. The Roots & Culture Yoga Retreats are open to all who desire personal healing, while also contributing to rebuilding Africa by providing jobs & creating valuable connections.
