Hi, I’m Liya

Hi, I’m Liya

A mother, Kundalini yoga teacher, priestess, mystic, and founder of Aura. I am here to empower your clarity, radiance, and innate power so you can truly thrive and confidently embody your divine essence and sacred life purpose.

I am passionate about helping you clear blocks and limitations that keep you from manifesting your dreams and feeling fully aligned, alive, and worthy of love and prosperity. As you move through powerful initiations along your life journey, I am here to support your freedom from limiting constructs of the mind and offer opportunities for sanctuary, ritual, and alchemical practice to make medicine with anything that comes your way.

My commitment and prayer is to be a clear vessel for the harmonization of the planet, the healing of our ancestral lines, and the benefit for the next generations.

My teachings weave feminine wisdom, Kundalini Yoga, Western mystical practices, and mind reprogramming techniques as well as the jewels I have gathered from my own life experiences. As a forever student, I am continuously growing alongside you and the rest of the Aura community.
In my classes, you’ll find ancient wisdom, modern science, subtle humor, fierce love, and deep presence. I hold space for tangible transformation – where your truth gets to rise and the light of your soul gets to lead.

More About My Story

After immigrating to the United States at 19, my journey began in the buzzing heart of New York City, where I spent years in the fast lane as a business executive. Despite outward success, the stress of that life eventually caught up with me—mentally, emotionally, and physically. My nervous system was frayed. My spirit was tired. My body was dysfunctional.

Yoga became my lifeline. Not just a practice, but a path home.

Since then, I’ve devoted my life to the study and embodiment of spiritual wellness, transformation, and personal truth.

I am a certified Hatha and Kundalini Yoga teacher, having traveled to India to study immersively with Kundalini Yoga masters. I’m also a Mindfulness + Wellbeing Strategy Coach, and a lifelong student of esoteric Kabbalah, sacred ritual, the feminine mysteries, and the Tree of Life—initiated into deeper study at the mystery school Las Piramides del Ka in Guatemala. As a Wisdom Keeper and Portal Opener, my path is one of remembering and reactivating—opening gates of consciousness we all can walk through and claim our truths.

I recognize these struggles as echoes of my own path and have devoted myself to a feminine-led Kundalini Yoga for liberation of mind, body, and spirit.

Kundalini Yoga is an ancient technology that works like alchemy: opening energy channels, dissolving subconscious conditioning, fortifying the nervous system, and awakening the dormant life force within. With every practice, we step closer to freedom, clarity, and the embodiment of our sacred gifts.
