Teaches at Prema Yoga Institute

Aemen Bell began her healing journey early, when as a young teen, she did a self supervised 10 day fast and healed the chronic lung condition that 3 doctors had failed to remedy. Since then, she has been taking care of her own body with herbs, diet, and movement. She fell deeper in love with herbs during her extended apprenticeship at Flower Power Herbs and Roots in NYC. What was supposed to be a 1,500 hour certification stretched out to nearly 7,000, as she couldn’t get enough of the wisdom of the herbs and the guidance of her much loved teacher, Lata Kennedy. Since then, she has worked with thousands of people in all health situations to help them make herbs a part of their lives, and heal from chronic and acute situations. Aemen lives on a mountain, and is also a Kundalini yoga instructor, and a mama.
