As an emotional eater for more than 40 years, Chinmayi knows that the only relief from the sufferng of emotional eating is to examine and transform the reasons WHY we overeat. Diets simply cannot work for the emotional overeater and she has backed this up with scientific evidence. In fact, a lifetime of diets can be detrimental to ever losing weight permanently. It can and does have an effect on our children too. It's time to turn our back on the multi-million dollar industry of diets without any proven long-term success and look within ourselves. We really do have the answers! Chinmayi will show you where they are. She has been around that tiresome and at times, debilitating wheel enough times to know that the only way to freedom with food is to get to know what our emotions are and to heal and transform them. In BodyMAGIC! Chinmayi draws on her many experiences and extensive research to share with you, not one, but many options for overcoming emotional eating. And she'll convince you that you really are WORTH it!

Chinmayi successfully completed 200 hours of yoga teacher training with the Yoga Alliance at the Yandara Yoga Institute in Mexico (2006) and 500 hours with the Yoga Alliance at the Anand Prakash Ashram near Rishikesh in India. On her graduation in India, she was given her spiritual name – Chinmayi (meaning ‘bestower of bliss’), by her lifetime teacher Yogrishi Vishvketu. She has travelled extensively through India practising with many different teachers and styles wanting to bring a little more of the spiritual and scientific essences of the practice back to the West through her classes and training. She continues to do this with her online offering – YogaMAGIC!

Her trip to Peru in 2011 introduced her to shamanic healing where she realised that the philosophies and principles of shamanism and yoga could actually sit very well together. Hence her teaching of Shamanic Yoga began. Chinmayi occasionally runs Shamanic Yoga workshops and teacher training courses. She continued her studies with the Shamanka School of Shamanism where a 2-year course of learning and practice afforded a Master Practitioner Certificate. Chinmayi is a Yoga Alliance experienced yoga teacher (EYT500). In addition she holds a recognised Anatomy and Physiology qualification (level 3-distinction) with ITEC.
