Devon Cajuste

Background:

Devon Cajuste, a Stanford Graduate and former NFL TightEnd, has recently left the game for his new venture in being a personal trainer, energy/crystal healer, and motivational speaker. He aids people into becoming the highest version of themselves. The last 3 years of his spiritual and personal growth ran parallel with his NFL career. While bringing energy onto the field, when he was off of it, he studied healing with Crystals, Reiki, Channeling, Sound, while creating Mayanye, a book about Journeying/Meditating to help bring expansion to self. His pursuit to amplify this force in each of us gave him more fulfillment then any play on the field.

Why I practice meditation:

Meditating is where I found many of my answers for what I want to do in life. Many of the skills I have obtained have been through the practice of meditating. Asking the questions and allowing the to answers to flow, has led me to some of the most serendipitous and life changing experiences. If I didn’t meditate, I wouldn’t be where I am today, and that information can’t be bought.

Why I teach meditation:

I would like people to understand that within them lies many of the answers they seek as well as the person they would like to be. There are tools around them such as Crystals that provide the guidance, peace, love and growth they desire. They are there to enhance the greatest crystal which is you. They aid in awakening the energy that may be sleeping, amplify the parts that are amazing, and transmute the energy that isn’t needed anymore. I want people to understand that the power they hold is within reach and creating the circumstances they want can be obtained.

Shanila Sattar

Background:

Shanila is a wellness activator, women’s researcher, speaker, and the founder of AlwaysPlay based in Los Angeles. She uses ancient modalities with a modern twist to balance and connect the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual bodies. She came into the world of meditation from her own need after experiencing health and mood imbalances, and from not having proper wellness practices in place. Now, she loves to share these tools for others’ journeys as well.

Shanila grew up in Bangladesh and on the East Coast, working with groups with anxiety, stress, depression, mood imbalances, and sleep troubles. She loves to mix the science and the woo in her practice and hopes that she’s able to reach people who may feel that wellness is inaccessible to them.

Shanila has implemented several programs in the Los Angeles area through the support of several grants from the State of California to bring the art of sound baths and breathwork as emotional and mental wellness tools, hosts workshops in underserved populations, and continues her work in women’s research through partnerships with Universities.

Shanila’s sound bath classes are described as dreamy and otherworldly; her breathwork workshops have been described as a “must experience gift". 

Why I practice meditation:

I practice meditation because through it, I am able to access and maintain a calmer sense of being. I’m able to gain perspective of things that may have been sources of worry or anxiety, and transmute that energy into feeling calm, relaxed, blissful, and joy!

Why I teach meditation:

I teach meditation because I believe that having small practical mindfulness tools in our wellness bag is a better world for everyone. I love to create safe and inviting spaces so that the pretenses of who can and should meditate are removed. Helping people simply relax in the midst of a very busy world is beautiful.
