Shiva Shakti Yoga: My Journey, Studies & Calling to the Path of Divine Union
At the age of 19, in 1999, I experienced my first state of samadhi — a glimpse into divine union and pure presence. This opened a sacred quest that has guided me for over 30 years: the path of enlightenment through inner connection with the divine.
In 1999, I experienced a deep spiritual awakening through formless samadhi, where a voice guided me inward and a focused meditation on Radha and Krishna Painting I owned this opened a powerful inner portal. When I saw Krishna’s flute, I knew I had found something my soul had been seeking. The very next day, I met my first teacher and with him came the shadow of un-awakened masculine energy. That began a difficult yet necessary journey through karmic lessons, emotional hardship, and soul survival.
Despite being told that others held the answers, I always felt a quiet inner voice reminding me that my soul knew the way. After five years of navigating that karma, I surrendered again and through a friend, OSHO’s teachings entered my life, awakening a deeper sense of freedom, silence, and ecstatic awareness. I crossed paths with seekers from many traditions, and through my family’s connection to the Hare Krishna movement, I spent time immersed in devotional practice. Eventually, I let go of the outer ritual paths and chose meditation as my core practice. The art of witnessing became the foundation of my healing, where I learned to rest in awareness and trust my inner truth.
One day mid 2020, during meditation, I had a vision of Shiva’s Trishul — a moment that marked a cosmic turning point. I began to understand that my path was not limited to any one lineage, but rooted in universal consciousness. Ancient memories of Egypt, star beings, angels, and Arcturian realms began to stir — and I realized the cosmic nature of my soul’s unfolding. Through Vipassana practice, my path returned to the living union of Shiva and Shakti.
Over time, Kundalini awakened fully within me, leading to cycles of purification, kriyas, vision, and deep inner transformation. Today, I no longer seek I serve. The teachers who came into my life were never masters, but mirrors, each holding a key to my remembrance. From sacred geometry and mantra to compassion and grounded action, every lesson brought me closer to wholeness. Now I walk in devotion to this embodied union: Shiva, the silent witness; Shakti, the intelligent force of life. I guide others to recognize this eternal inner marriage the divine dance that lives within each of us.
This journey has included both the strength of discipline and the softening of surrender guided by many masters and teachers. Ultimately, it has led to an inner marriage, a sacred merging of Shiva and Shakti within me. From this union, I continue to walk the middle path: integrating what I have learned, mastering what I had once missed, and embracing life as the great teacher.
Shiva Shakti Yoga is now dedicated to the final guru lineage of my life, Shiva and Shakti themselves. Their cosmic union has become my breath, my stillness, my guiding light. Through them, I am inspired to offer more peace, love, compassion, and divine presence in each moment. Their unconditional love for all that arises within me has taught me that the process is the path and enlightenment is not a destination, but a living relationship with the sacred in all things.
Yoga Roadmap of Inner Mastery Ongoing…
My journey began humbly, practicing Total Yoga on VHS tapes for five years. From there, I was guided into the Tibetan teachings of the Dalai Lama, experienced spontaneous Shaktipat during meditation, and immersed myself in Bhakti Yoga through the Hare Krishna movement. This path expanded further with the Himalayan teachings of Baba Gorakhnath, the spiritual wisdom of Guru Nanak, and formal teacher training through the Nirvana School of Yoga a 200-hour certification rooted in the Kripalu lineage.
I’ve spent years sharing these teachings one-on-one and in schools, integrating the practices of Baba Ramdev, the classical roots of Patanjali’s lineage, and the evolutionary approach of Osho. Osho’s dynamic meditations and the path of Zorba the Buddha helped me embrace witnessing consciousness and the full spectrum of human experience from grounded presence to cosmic bliss.
In 2023, I completed my 300-hour Yoga Renew certification, officially surpassing 500 hours of recognized yoga training. This milestone deepened my embodiment and gave rise to the 8-Week Blueprint — a system for guiding others through the inner union of Shiva and Shakti using breath, asana, sound, and energy work. This evolution also gave birth to the Shiva Shakti Mantra, Yantra, and Tantra teachings, as well as the Shiva Shakti Reiki School, where the sacred science of Reiki is taught in harmony with yogic wisdom and divine polarity.
This ongoing journey has brought me to the deep realization of the cosmic union of Shiva and Shakti. From this realization, Shiva Shakti Sangha was born — an international community and schooling system dedicated to sacred embodiment, continual sadhana, and the awakening of divine feminine and masculine energy through movement, mantra, meditation, and devotion.
The awakening wisdom of yoga reveals the sacred symbolism of Śhiva and Śhakti — guiding us through mantra, breath, and the art of witnessing. As we walk this path, the living mandala of our being unfolds, revealing the patterns of energy and consciousness within.
Through yoga, I have come to see that we are embodied divinity — dancing through form, remembering our wholeness. This is the inner marriage: the union of masculine and feminine, stillness and flow, discipline and devotion. Here, duality dissolves into oneness, and the body itself becomes a temple of awakening.
This path is not philosophy alone — it is a living practice. A sacred return to Moksha, to liberation through embodiment, where the god-self awakens and lives fully in body, mind, and soul. Through daily sādhanā, ritual, and the wisdom of the masters, I walk — and invite others to walk — the path of Śiva–Śakti Yoga: the art of inner union and the alchemy of transformation.
