DJ incorporates a blend of yoga practices, traditional therapy, and other healing practices into one, letting each session flow and inform whether more talking or more movement is needed. I often joke that DJ is borderline magical, but the enormous amount of change and growth she has helped me make in repairing my once-damaging and hurtful thought patterns has felt nothing short of miraculous.

I'm a paragraph. This is the place for you to tell your site visitors a little bit about you and your services. When you think of yoga, your imagination immediately goes to the physical poses. In the yoga therapy I've developed over the last two decades, we do practice poses as a means to obtain physical health but also to sculpt specific, optimum mental health as well.
Harmony circle is more than a group: it's a movement, fostering and igniting patience, energy, love and kindness. You will leave the circle with tools you can continue to use for life. 2 live sessions via Zoom, to shake things up, wake up and live it up, meaningfully. Lives will be recorded and can be watched any time.
Yoga Therapy Academy grew out of my desire to offer respectful, intelligently-crafted courses custom-designed for people whom I may not be able to serve through my busy private practice.
Drawing on twenty years of intensive work with people representing many different professional and social communities and with a wide range of specific needs, the techniques and practices taught in Yoga Therapy Academy are calibrated to particular lifestyles and time constrictions so that they can easily be woven into your daily routine.

Yoga Therapy Academy for the Healthcare Community came about thanks to the large number of physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals with whom I've worked in my private practice over the years. One thing has been consistently clear to me through these experiences: all of you want to make your quality of life a priority.
From healing physical injuries to navigating relationships, these sessions map life goals and reveal how to achieve what you want to manifest, whether it is better health, weight management, relief from pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, or mindful parenting. The secret is the reconnection to the endless source of light and abundance within, where all things are made possible.

I was blessed to meet Ana in Boston and later on line when was back in Brazil. I can say that her practice helped me dealing with things that I didn't even know were bothering me. The feeling of relaxation an peace after each practice is amazing. I feel more centered, aware and balanced since I started practicing.

Taking part of Ana Mares Guia's Harmony Circle was a gift to myself, and what a gift! Ana's positive energy and guidance reminded me of the importance of a daily pause, the importance of taking time to myself. I feel replenished after each breathing technique or meditation practice that she so generously shares with us. As a mother of small children, I feel reassured that no matter my struggles, I can and I will do my best and that is good enough. Ana has a magical touch, a sixth sense that seems to know exactly what you need to hear, to see or to feel. She is warmth and love, and as cliche as

Ana is a unique professional! She is “gifted” with the power of healing and does it in a very smooth way. I started with group sessions at her studio in Boston, where I could finally experience what yoga really is. Then I started weekly individual sessions with her, which simply transformed my life. During her classes and sessions, Ana shares all her knowledge with her students and helps them to put it “in action” in their lives. I am so grateful for having found Ana! I am already missing her here in Boston but luckily she offers sessions through Skype! I am currently participating in her

Ana is awesome! Her knowledge and sensibility make her a great yoga therapist able to help her clients both emotional and physically! My daughter and I both had weekly sessions with her for almost 2 years in Boston. Each session we went she just knew what we needed and what to do to help us through a mix of therapy, yoga, meditation.
We both got huge improvement in our lives! We’re already missing her here in Boston but luckily she offers sessions through Skype! I highly recommend Ana for whoever wants to take care of their spirit, mind and body!

DJ is amazing. I've been doing yoga with her once a week for almost 3 years and I can wholeheartedly say I'm a very different person from having worked with her. She continues to help me recognize my gifts and my insecurities to become a better and better version of myself. Working with DJ is an whole life experience. She has helped me navigate finding a new job, body image issues, running injuries, dating, etc. etc. along with working through years of emotional trauma. The best part of working with DJ is that she is not doing the work. She is giving the tools you need to take out into the real

Since my arrival in the USA 5 years ago I tried some yoga classes and some meditation classes too but I never felt so comfortable to go deeper. With Ana is totally different. Since the first time I met her I have always felt comfortable which for me is what counts the most. During her classes I never felt judged and I always felt free to be my self. In Divya Jyoti Yoga Therapy Center I found the place for me, where I can calm my mind and be myself. There is no right or wrong there. There is us. I trust Ana, I think she is real, she is a serious teacher and she got a gift. I feel so powerful and

Fantastic experience! We attended a Parent-Child Seminar on transitions and it was terrific! When your 7 year old child asks you, half way during the seminar, if we can do this again, you know he's enjoying it as much as you are!
Kids were respected with their own interests, need to take brake/s and snacks, guided kindly to the point that when DJ and Parents had a Question and Answer moment, the kids were enthralled in another activity and super happy, not feeling left out.
I've attended this Seminar and another adult one and can't thank D J enough!

My time with DJ started when she was teaching group Yoga lessons at a small studio in Roslindale - from there I have worked with her through Yoga Therapy on a number of issues along with recovery for a broken leg and a torn meniscus. I have found my moments of zen when I am with her and the healing and peaceful space she has created.

DJ was my prenatal yoga teacher 12 years ago. The week before I heard she had expanded her yoga therapy practice to include children, I was wishing for a more formal way to bring mindfulness of the body, and of thoughts and feelings, into my kids’ lives. We have seen many professionals in the past year+, and the day she began seeing my children was a true turning point for them. Her holistic and whole-hearted approach, grounded in the body, has helped my children to know their own wisdom, light, and beauty. She is a true healer, who has improved my children’s sleep and eating, and helped them

I am a long-time student of DJ, and have found her to be warm, wonderfully calming, delightfully intuitive and insightful, and completely and compassionately honest. The yoga skills and tools she has taught me over the years have brought a sense of calm and confidence to areas of my life that were previously anxiety-filled. Although DJ works in yoga therapy, she has students, not patients, which is an important distinction. She incorporates a blend of yoga practices, traditional therapy, and other healing practices into one, letting each session flow and inform whether more talking or more movement

I happened to end up in a yoga class taught by Ana (Divya Jyoti) a few years ago and it was amazing. She was incredibly attentive to the needs of all of us students and really tailored the class to what we needed that day. I loved it. Since that class, I started doing private Yoga Therapy sessions with her on a regular basis and taking her group classes whenever she offered them. It has made a big difference for me. There's nothing like having someone dedicate an hour to really working with you. I have felt a big difference physically and emotionally (!) from working with her.
