My Story
Shakti Shambhala is a yoga teacher, retreat facilitator, co-founder of Shambhala Yoga and co-founder of Lucid Nectar Music, who has been immersed in music, movement arts, embodiment, and yoga since childhood. Through yoga teacher training, retreats, somatic healing, and conscious living practices, she guides students toward greater authenticity, awareness, and connection.
Since 2018, Shambhala Yoga has operated as a Yoga Alliance Registered School, originally founded in British Columbia, Canada. Shakti’s teaching blends classical yoga philosophy, embodiment, nervous system awareness, self-inquiry, and modern wellness practices into an integrated and grounded approach to transformation.
Teaching from a place of curiosity, lived experience, and deep care for the human journey, Shakti creates heart-centered spaces where students are invited to grow at their own pace — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Her work emphasizes embodiment over performance, encouraging students to reconnect with presence, intuition, and authentic living.
Shakti is a 500HR E-RYT and YACEP® certified teacher with Yoga Alliance. With a background in Psychology and a Bachelor of Health Sciences from UBC, she bridges modern science with timeless yogic and somatic wisdom.
Her path has included over a decade of leading yoga trainings, retreats, and immersive wellness experiences internationally. After co-founding and operating a successful yoga school for 10 years, she expanded her work globally — living close to nature, exploring sustainability, sharing online teachings, and cultivating a lifestyle rooted in embodiment, simplicity, and conscious living.
Shambhala Yoga was born from this vision: creating a sanctuary for transformation where aspiring teachers and students can deepen awareness, embody their fullest potential, and step into a more meaningful and connected way of life.
Whether through yoga teacher training, retreats, somatic healing, or immersive experiences, Shakti’s intention is not only to teach yoga as a practice — but to share a lived experience of presence, connection, embodiment, and freedom.
