Following a Path with a Heart

A second generation student of Yogi Bhajan and the technology of Kundalini Yoga, Joie Ruggiero, has had the profound privilege to discover how a devotional practice can express human experience in higher octaves from birth. After studying music, ballet and modern dance, she began a decade long career in the boutique fitness space, working with elite clientele all over the world, hosting her first retreat, and building her personal training business, Haumea Athletics. After intersecting with Guru Jagat and The RA MA community, she knew it was time to harmonize her expert knowledge of the human body, with her spiritual upbringing. She currently lives in Marina Del Rey with her husband and young son, and is producing her debut album of EDM inspired mantra beats with her sister, as the group Mataji. Her mission is to inspire and uplift through the interwoven landscapes of rhythmic sound and physical movement.

Charan Bani practices healing arts and performance. She is based in London UK, born into a rainforest in Australia.

After coming to yoga in 2006 she found deepest resonance with the profound technology of Kundalini Yoga and feels blessed to share the teachings. Charan Bani also weaves with the harmonising tools of sound medicine and intuitive storytelling, and offers the heart centring plant spirit cacao.

Her background in performance art informs the way she holds space for people to intimately encounter themselves, to connect with their innate wisdom, and flow with their innermost creative capacity. Her offerings are also enriched by studies in the neurophysiology of complex trauma, oppression and embodied therapy. She is endlessly fascinated by the magic of performing-ourselves-into-being - tapping into our capacity to heal old wounds, recognise where we've been self-sabotaging rascals, and align with our soul path to flourish.

Charan Bani loves to collaborate and gather in community, celebrating our unique bodies and histories whilst supporting collective healing. Her hope is that we might each-all elevate to our brightest destiny, nurturing courage and resilience alongside soft, vibrant sensuality. Everyone is welcome to the party.
