My Story

Trevor Chaitanya Eller

Kirtan Leader • Yoga Therapist • Spiritual Educator

Trevor Chaitanya Eller is a yoga educator, kirtan leader, yoga therapist, massage therapist, who weaves together mantra, yogic philosophy and lifestyle, grounded in Ayurvedic and Western Anatomy perspectives. 

A lifelong student of the world’s spiritual traditions raised in a spiritual community based on the theological teachings of Christian Mystic Emmanuel Swedenborg, Trevor began practicing QiGong and Tai Chi in 1993 and Yoga in 1996.  After completing Yoga Teacher Training which included in-person teachings from Yogi Bhajan Trevor began teaching Yoga in 2003. During that time he used the name given to him by Bhajan, Pritam Hari Singh. 

Trevor discontinued practicing Kundalini as taught by Yogi Bhajan in 2007 but continued as a musician in the community playing guitar for many well known chant leaders in the community including Snatam Kaur, Ajeet Kaur and many other.  Notably he recored and traveled with Simrit and Gurunam Singh (Live at Spirit Fest, Silent Moonlight Meditation and Crimson Sadhana) 

His teaching approach integrates the wisdom of Ayurveda, Western Anatomy, and Classical Yoga with the living essence of Bhakti—the yoga of love and devotion.

 In 2015 Trevor was blessed by the late Sanyasini Mataji Gauri Brata head of Mothers Trust Temple and the late Sanyasini Bandana Puri Devi authorized him to establish The Yoga Maya Center—For Modern Mystics with Mission Hearts to Love and Serve All where Chaitanya was to lead Satsangs and share the teachings of bhakti, karma and jnana yoga.  

During this time Trevor received the spiritual name Chaitanya Prabhu with the Consciousness of Navadweep. He simply goes by Chaitanya.  He studied mantra and yogic text with the late Dr. Raju former head priest of the Hindu Temple of Lansing. 

For over twenty years, Trevor has shared kirtan and yoga across the United States and abroad. 

As a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), he specializes in Yoga for Ayurvedic body types, addresses musculoskeletal issues, and using meditation and physical yoga to help his clients ease their stress and physical pain.

Trevor’s journey has been shaped by many masters and living traditions—including Kundalini Yoga under Yogi Bhajan, Naad Yoga with Shri Param Eswaran, and Kriya Yoga in the lineage of Paramahamsa Hariharananda and Prajnanananda.  he is also deeply inspired by Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma).  

Today, Trevor leads workshops, e-courses, and retreats that blend music, mantra, and meditation—helping students bring the sacred into everyday life.

He served as lead teacher trainer for Schoolcraft Community College and currently at Triple Crane Retreat Center, and continues to guide seekers through the path of Yoga Maya—the divine power bringing spirit into form.
