Hi, I’m Chris
It’s great to welcome you here. My passion and my purpose is to support others on their path, particularly in the tender, meaningful and challenging moments we face being human.
At the heart of my journey, I have been a dedicated yoga and meditation practitioner and teacher, with Mandala Yoga Ashram near Llandovery, where I'm known as my spiritual name Krishnaprem. The Ashram hosts numerous residential retreats, drawing individuals from across the United Kingdom and Europe, all seeking to enrich their understanding and practice of yoga in its broadest sense.
In addition to my deep connection with yoga, I'm a certified counselor, having graduated in 2015, and I'm enthusiastically embracing the Welsh language as a beginner student of Cymraeg.
In addition, for several years I have been following a calling to deepen into the field of death, dying, grief and loss. The Ashram hosts a 10-day Facing Death Embracing Life retreat, which has informed my understanding and inspired my path. I've expanded my expertise by training as a Death Doula under the guidance of Alexandra Derwen in North Wales, and as an Independent Funeral Celebrant with the esteemed Dinah Liverside in South Wales. These profound experiences have enriched my journey, and I'm currently delving deeper into my role as a Grief Circle facilitator.
Years of spiritual living, combined with the profound insights gained through my various trainings, have enabled me to infuse my practice and understanding with a clarity and compassion that stems from a deep, inner connection to the profound mysteries that underlie both life and death. Within this enigmatic realm, death is the other side of life, joy the other side of grief, and love the other side of loss. Thus, life, death, joy, grief, love, and loss are all poignant expressions of the Sacred, to be cherished and honored.
I'm here to provide you with compassionate support and guidance through life's most delicate and profound moments. Let's navigate this journey together with warmth and respect.
