Originally from Switzerland, Christelle was first introduced to body/mind interpretation through her own practice and study. These experiences led to her current work and ongoing efforts to positively affect people. Her methods include energy work, foot analysis, holistic reflexology, investigation and re-programming of behavioral patterns. Christelle received guidance and visionary direction while traveling in India where she assimilated herself with the culture and learned an ayurvedic, yogic lifestyle affirming her mental connection with humankind.
While in Thailand, Christelle learned the art of Thai Massage, enabling her to influence people therapeutically and affect their physical sense of healing. Subsequently, she went to Australia and practiced life coaching, giving direction to corporations, artists, and homemakers who were looking to achieve a higher level of mastery over their own lives.
After working with mind, body, and behavior patterns, Christelle knew the next step was to integrate her findings into a distinct methodology. While living south of the Andes, she created the DHARMI program, in the line of the 7 fires-volcanoes. Christelle lived in South America for 8 years and taught the innovative Dharmi program to the community, with an amazing response from the participants.
During her time in South America, Christelle (Amarun) was also actively involved with Condor Blanco, and learned the art of Samkya Dance, Shamanic Practices, Life Coaching, Regression and Connection with the Animal Totem.
Today, Christelle resides in Miami, and has for the past five years. Here in South Florida, Christelle has touched the lives of many local people who have embraced the DHARMI into their Dance (Life), which has changed their experiences in a positive, holistic way.
Her main hobby –kiteboarding – and her passion for outdoor activities while living in Miami, inspired her to create specific series of asanas for kiteboarders, as well as create exciting paddle-boarding-based yoga experiences.
