Welcome
Connect to universal creative energy and become more of who you are everyday...
What is creative energy?
Creative energy flows through us. But that doesn't mean we always allow it to flow freely. How can we open the channels, do away with unnecessary restrictions we place on ourselves, and live more fully, more radiantly and as the creative expressions we are?
For years, I've turned to Yoga, meditation, and sound healing to help myself and others connect to that endless fountain known as creative energy and I'd love if you joined me.​
With Love,
Sandy Naimou
My mission...
After a little over a year of teaching, I discovered what my focus for teaching would be. That's when Creative Energy Yoga was born on January 5, 2014. Since then, my mission has been clear: to help connect to our deeper selves through relaxation.
Relaxation is an effortless and natural way of being. It gently grows into a vital feeling that we are connected with the world, the greater Universe. Each time we enter into that connection, we plant seeds for Self-realization, recognizing ourselves as creative, eternal and divine—the goal of Yoga.
​
One of the Co-founders of The Theosophical Society, William Q. Judge, says it clearly: "Calmness is the one thing necessary for the spirit to be heard."
As beings in this world of infinite creation, we are always seeking to know its source, even if we aren't always aware of that search. I aim to help tune into the shared creative energy flowing through us so we can share a positively creative existence on our search. Relaxing into our deeper realities brings us together, while allowing us to experience our unique essences as individuals.
​
I personally have found sound to be a transformative force in the process of spiritual evolution. And so, I welcome you to relax into the sound of Being.

About me
I’ve been teaching Yoga since 2011 and practicing since 1997. In between Yoga classes these days, I’ve also been narrating and producing audiobooks since 2022 and regularly taking local acting classes. Acting is my favorite “game” to play, one where I can be creative and also learn about myself, the characters, being human, and life in general. I love having an art to concentrate my energy on, not just because of what’s created from all that time and effort, but because through it I learn about myself, particularly my weaknesses, giving me the opportunity to rise above them.
​
My formal education includes a B.A. in psychology and a M.L.A. in women’s and gender studies. Studying is a way of life for me, so I’m constantly learning and actively reading various books at once. In addition to the Yoga Sutras every morning, I also study theosophical literature as well as various writings by Sufi Mystics and Yogis. I’m currently learning about Shamanic drumming and focused on opening my voice through the drum.
​
As an active member of the Theosophical Society, I served on the board of The Theosophical Society in Detroit between 2017 and 2023, as President for three years and as Secretary for four. I continue to serve the Lodge in whatever way I can and rent the Lodge for Yoga classes and events.
​
Aside from my current schedule and corporate classes I’ve offered (see “Workplace” on the menu), I’ve also taught at
​
The Path of Consciousness Spiritually & Writing Retreat (Capuchin Retreat Center)
The Detroit Zoo
Red Lotus Yoga Studio
LA Fitness
The City of Royal Oak (Parks & Rec)
The Honey Studio
The City of Novi (Parks & Rec)

How I decided to teach Yoga...
​​​​I never thought I’d teach Yoga. Until 2010, mostly Yoga helped me manage pain from scoliosis, keeping my body strong and limber. It also helped me concentrate in my college years, keeping me on task and alert for my studies and exams. Yoga gave me more confidence, improving my posture and feeling less anxious when it came to sharing in class. When I got pregnant with my first child, it helped me feel closer to him in prenatal yoga classes. Yoga helped my body recover from pregnancy.
​
But it wasn’t until 2010, when my second son passed away at nine-days-old from a heart defect and blood complication, that Yoga essentially saved me from the hardest thing a parent could face. After he passed, I delved into spiritual literature and started asking questions I had stopped asking as an atheist and recovering catholic. Almost religiously, I attended yoga classes at the local gym. Within only two months after losing him, I realized I had been transforming in a positive way from the loss and that the presence that I could experience in the Yoga practice was they key to my emotional healing.
​
That’s when I decided to become a Yoga teacher.
​
And that’s when my life started to bloom.
