Kylee Smith
Meditation teacher
Advanced Diploma in Meditation as Lifestyle Medicine
Kylee Smith has been practicing meditation across traditional Yogic and Buddhist Traditions for almost 30 years and has studied with teachers such as Sri Swami Satyananda and Swami Niranjanananda at the Bihar School of Yoga in India and Australia, as well as Tibetan Buddhist Vajrayana Meditation under teachers such as Sogyal Rinpoche, Mingyur Ripoche and The Dalai Lama. Kylee holds a 330-Hour Advanced Diploma in Meditation as Lifestyle Medicine Teaching Qualification through the BioMedical Institute of Yoga & Meditation (BIYOME). She is currently continuing her studies through BIYOME, to pursue a 660-Hour Masters in Biomedical Meditation Therapy & Allied Health.
BIYOME, The BioMedical Institute of Yoga & Meditation offers the ultimate connection between the Ancient Science of Yoga and the Western Biomedical Model. Their programmes merge science and spirituality through experiential practice and they provide an understanding of mind-body medicine and biopsychosocial health through interbeing or present moment awareness [1]. The practice of meditation through BIYOME is evidence based and well supported through the latest available research.
More recently, for the past several years, Kylee has been studying with a wonderful American Classical Tantra teacher, Hareesh (Christopher) Wallis, through Tantra Illuminated. Classical Tantra is a Non-Dual Shaiva practice, where the intent is to fully embody divinity, rather than transcend the body. In the words of Christopher Wallis (2015), Tantra is “World Embracing, rather than world denying… integrated with everyday life, rather than renouncing it”[2].
Kylee applies this combination of teachings from the scientific evidence base to the sacred wisdom traditions to provide a holistic and integrated path to wellness and integration. Most importantly, through her own lived experience, Kylee can hold space in meditation for a range of complex health issues such as Chronic Pain, Depression and Anxiety and ADHD or AuDHD.
