The Ananda Life Center is owned and operated by Deana Kean. Deana is a Conscious Living Facilitator for adults and children. Deana believes that within each of us is all the information that is needed for unfolding into vibrant health, joy, and peace. She believes that she can assist people to consciously heal and develop by exploring their inner space.

Deana was an Operations Manager for five branches at a large financial institution before completely changing her career. She left it all behind to follow her heart down a path to help others. Deana attended Somerset School of Massage Therapy and became Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. During her time at school, Deana realized that the mind and emotions play a large part in the body’s healing abilities. She then went on to become certified in Spiritual Psychology, became a Reiki Master Practitioner; and she trained in the Art of Shiatsu. She has been a long time student of yoga, meditation, positive affirmation healing and relational presence.

Deana also found a way to combine two other things that bring her joy; children and yoga. Having two little yoginis of her own at home, she decided to become certified to teach yoga to children through Karma Kids Yoga and Itsy Bitsy Yoga. She then created the Budding Lotus Yoga Program by combining her passion for yoga, her playful disposition, and her animated energetic spirit. She believes that giving a child an outlet to explore and discover is a wonderful tool to help them develop a sense of awareness, promote self-confidence and build self esteem. She is also known to be very silly, so giggling is an option!!!!
