Melinda Matzell Grannan 1/12/64 - 8/3/2026 It is with great sadness that we take this moment to feature the life of Melinda Matzell Grannan, one of our Sacred Centers Academy core faculty, a talented artist, devoted yogini, and beloved friend, who passed into the light on August 3rd. Melinda first came to Sacred Centers around 2013 and we made an immediate connection. She was a beautiful yogini and an excellent teacher with a deep grasp of yoga principles, energy work, and us

I am Anna Vasudevan. I live most of the year in Milford, Ohio, USA, though twice a year I return to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I was born and raised.

My name is Gabriel Giron, and I call Kalamazoo, Michigan, my home, though I’ll go wherever the work calls me. From a young age, I knew my purpose was to help others. I did not always know what that would look like, but today it has evolved into helping people find language for what is already alive in them. I walk alongside people who are trying to close the gap between what they know is possible and what they are actually living, using a blend of spoken word, mindfulness, an

Hello Community, I’m Maria J Garcia. For over 30 years, I have worked as a transformational guide, life and professional coach, speaker, and workshop leader. 20 years ago, I graduated from Sacred Centers as a chakra life/professional coach, Healer and Teacher, and soon after established Sacred Centers East in creative partnership with Anodea Judith.

My name is Anita Geugien, and I am the founder and director of Lichtfontein Opleidingen (Fountain of Light Professional Education) and Center for the Art of Living, located in Appelscha in the north of the Netherlands. For more than three decades, I have devoted my work to guiding people through embodied transformation as a Chakra yoga teacher, Chakra therapist, massage therapist, trainer, and developer of eco-spiritual courses.

My name is Gwen Rebbeck. I am an E-RYT 500, YACEP, the founder of Yoga4Sobriety™, and a Core Faculty member at Sacred Centers Academy. My introduction to Anodea Judith began in 2013, when I entered my 500-hour yoga teacher training. One of our first modules included studying Eastern Body, Western Mind, a text that would profoundly change the course of my life and work. As I moved through Eastern Body, Western Mind , I began to see a deep resonance between the liberating

Greetings everyone, and Happy New Year!
