Hello! My name is Nina Bambina. Yes, that is my real name. LOL! Thank you for visiting my page. Read on to learn more about me and how I got to this place where I teach yoga and create fun, healing stuff with Energy 4 Serenity.
Yoga I started doing yoga at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch in 1997 and have done it ever since. Yoga just makes me feel good. Practicing yoga makes me feel better physically, emotionally, and mentally. After each yoga class, I feel strong, calm, and grounded. In 2017, I had the opportunity to take yoga teacher training at Evansville Power Yoga (EPY) and I started teaching there in 2018. Currently, I am not teaching yoga classes, but once we can meet indoors safely, I'll be back!
Healing Energy Work My journey into energy work began during my yoga teacher training at EPY. A doctor and yoga instructor, Kay Corpus, M.D., was teaching us about chakras and started talking about and doing Healing Touch on our teacher, Mark. I was mesmerized. I grew up in a medical household with a father who was a doctor and a mother and grandmother who were nurses. I had worked in doctors offices and hospitals and specialized in medical sociology when I got my Ph.D.. Watching Dr. Corpus do Healing Touch resonated with the all medical experience I had, while opening a door to a whole new world. I had to learn how to do this thing. Since that time, I have been trained in Healing Touch level 1, Reiki level 1 and 2, and all three levels of Quantum Touch. I will soon be certified in Quantum Touch. I absolutely love using energy to help people heal. I am so fortunate to be able to share with people the most amazing and beautiful experiences of love. It is transformative for them and for me. During these challenging times, I am so grateful that I can share energy healing from a distant so that my clients and I can be safe, while clearing emotional and physical blocks for profound healing.

Online Healing Content I have had to postpone six workshops and one retreat because of the current situation in the world. Feeling my own sense of sadness and loss and know that others were feeling the same way made me think about the healing tools I have been sharing in face-to-face settings and how I could put them to use to help people heal from a safe distance. The Happy on the Inside Facebook Group was the first online healing content I created. It gave me an opportunity to spend time doing fun, healthy things with my son and share them with others to help brighten their days. We really enjoy bringing our "shows" to people and having fun together. Participating in an online energy session where we used our energy to heal ourselves and others gave me the idea to create my own online energy healing masterclass so that people could learn, feel, and move energy for their own healing and the healing of others; Energize in Place was born. Workshops, Retreats, Masterclasses, & Online Programs I have a Ph.D. in Sociology from Columbia University in New York City and I taught at the University of Southern Indiana for nearly 9 years. Being a student and teacher for so long, it is second nature for me to spend time researching, reading, and learning about things that interest me. I learned so many interesting things in yoga teacher training and read more about those that resonated with me. In time, I realized that I had a lot of knowledge on topics that could help people live their lives in a more mindful and authentic way, which would bring them peace and healing. The professor in me could not resist the urge to teach people this valuable information and I began designing workshops and retreats. I currently have completed one workshop that focuses on chakras, an online masterclass about energy, an online 4-week program to find peace & joy, and an online women's retreat focused on forgiveness & love.
