Juliet aka Adi Krishna

Owner/Kundalini Yoga Teacher

Yoga is often presented as a means to achieving physical form and flexibility which can lead to a calmer, more mindful approach to life which it can. At its root, Yoga means to be in Union with the Divine. A lifetime of spiritual seeking led me to Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in 2018-19. It is magical, it works- what else can I say? I am insatiably  curious about how things work and why- the mysteriousness of the Way the Divine Works means surrendering my need to know to a place of acceptance where peace is.  Everything I practice and teach helps me stay in that posture of gratitude & receptivity to experience more Divine Love in my life.  I am honored and love to lead others to find the way to their own Yoga Practice and heal.

Juliet aka Adi Krishna

Owner, Kundalini Yoga Teacher

A lifetime of spiritual seeking led Juliet, aka Adi Krishna, to Kundalini Yoga teacher training in 2018. Fully immersing herself in the magical world of Yoga, she completed her teacher training in 2019 and started a small studio in Wilmington, NC that was the catalyst for what was to become Lighthouse Yoga Studio. 

 

The gift and opportunity of opening a serene 2-story yoga studio came for Juliet in 2024, in the historic Will Rehder Florist building (originally owned by famed Venus Flytrap horticulturalist Stanley Rehder, aka “The Flytrap Man,” and beloved Wilmington florist Henry Rehder). 

 

Adi K’s spirituality, creative spark, calm loving energy and attention to detail are some of her many beautiful traits she brings to each of her yoga classes. She has teamed up with an equally creative group of teachers to offer yoga classes and holistic-centered special events. 

 

Her mission for the studio is to keep it a place of lightness, discovery and support of how to live healthy, balanced and well lived lives for all who come inside.

Her Philosophy

“Yoga is often presented as a means to achieving physical form and flexibility which can lead to a calmer, more mindful approach to life. At its root, Yoga means to be in Union with the Divine. 

 

It is magical, it works- what else can I say? I am insatiably curious about how things work and why- the mysteriousness of the Way the Divine Works means surrendering my need to know to a place of acceptance where peace is.  Everything I practice and teach helps me stay in that posture of gratitude & receptivity to experience more Divine Love in my life. I am honored and love to lead others to find the way to their own yoga practice and heal.“

Defy Gravity and Tribal Fusion Belly Dance Teacher

My  journey with belly dance started 12 years ago when I saw my first belly dancer and my life was never the same since. My calling is to bring these freedom dances to an oppressed culture and for everyone to be empowered in their own bodies.  I have been blessed to work under mentors such as Zoe Jakes and Rachel Brice. My studies include classic Egyptian, American tribal style, and American Cabaret belly dance. With all these genres melted together, I present to you tribal fusion. The latest freedom dance.
