Nalanie Chellaram receives “The Mayor’s Award” from His Worship the Mayor, Christian Santos GMD.

Nalanie Chellaram, Integral Yoga master teacher and Integral Yoga Centre head, was recently honored with the “Mayor’s Award” in Gibraltar. The Mayor’s Awards scheme is given to members of the public, either individuals or groups, who had served Gibraltar in exceptional or voluntary service over a prolonged period of time. Nalanie’s partner Anand Les Roberts, as well as Nalanie’s daughter and son-in-law (Shanelle and Andrew Bacarese-Hamilton) accompanied her to the ceremony.

As Shanelle Bacarese-Hamilton said about the occasion, “So, so proud to be there to see my mum, Nalanie Chellaram, receive a Mayor’s Award last night in Gibraltar. She has dedicated her life to service, set up the integral Yoga Centre Gibraltar, and helped countless charities and individuals along the way, both in Gibraltar and all over the world. Mum, you are so incredible. Love you so very much! You inspire all of us.”

Integral Yoga International (IYI) congratulates Nalanie Chellaram on this prestigious and well-deserved recognition for her decades of humanitarian and charitable services. Nalanie is also the founder of Service in Satchidananda, the global charitable arm of IYI.
