International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers with the Dalai Lama

Teach what is within you. Not as it applies to you, but as it applies to the one in front of you.

Where Science Meets Soul. Where Lineage Becomes Living.

Crystal Potter is a registered nurse, sacred movement guide, and lifelong student of the soul. With a background spanning critical care medicine, ancient yoga traditions, and indigenous ceremony, her work is a living integration of clinical precision and cosmic remembrance.

Rooted in over two decades of nursing experience—including ten formative years in critical care—Crystal holds a deep understanding of the human body’s anatomy, physiology, and subtle energetics. Her clinical path led her into some of life’s most tender thresholds—where breath falters, hearts open, and healing takes on many forms.

But her journey didn’t end with medicine. It expanded.

A Bridge Between Worlds

In 2014, Crystal was called to serve as the private nurse for the International Council of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. This sacred assignment during the In the Name of the Mother women’s gathering marked a threshold moment—immersing her in traditional healing ways, water prayer, and the reclamation of the divine feminine. Here, medicine became prayer, and service became ceremony.

This bridge—between western science and ancestral knowing—became the ground for a new kind of offering.

Lineage of Depth and Devotion

Crystal’s yoga path is rooted in living lineages. She studied The Heart of Yoga at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai, India, absorbing the breath-centered teachings passed down from the source. Her primary teacher, the late Maty Ezraty, became both a compass and a mirror. Under Maty’s rigorous, refined guidance, Crystal completed over 1,000 hours of advanced study and served as an assistant in global teacher trainings—including sacred spaces where tradition and evolution met.

Her teaching style fuses the soul of Ashtanga with the discerning eye of Iyengar. It is alignment not just of bones, but of intention. Strength not just of body, but of spirit.

Science of the Heart

Crystal is a delegate of the Resonance Science Academy, where sacred geometry meets unified physics and the science of consciousness. She is also trained through the Institute of HeartMath in heart rate variability (HRV), coherence, and emotional regulation. Her understanding of the nervous system is both scientific and intuitive—grounded in evidence, yet attuned to the frequency of feeling.

Her classes, private mentorships, and workshops invite students into a space where breath becomes medicine, movement becomes mantra, and presence becomes prayer.

Crystal’s Approach

Crystal teaches yoga not as a performance—but as a sacred act of remembering. She sees each posture as a portal, each breath as an offering, and each student as a sovereign being on a path of return.

Her work is devoted to awakening elegance, cultivating awareness, and restoring harmony across the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of life.

Whether guiding a workshop, mentoring a teacher, or simply holding space—Crystal walks with reverence, precision, and an open heart.
