Imagine a world filled with humans with regulated nervous systems.

Where people pause before reacting and shoulders soften instead of brace.
Where conversations don’t escalate into battles and children feel safe in their bodies.
Where leaders make decisions from clarity, not fear.

When the nervous system is regulated, we don’t need to dominate to feel powerful.
We don’t need to withdraw to feel protected.
We don’t need to people-please to feel worthy.

Our nervous system is the great mediator between our inner world and the outer one. It is constantly scanning:
Am I safe? Am I connected? Do I belong?
If the answer is yes, we create.
If the answer is no, we defend.

So much of what we see in the world: conflict, burnout, addiction, disconnection, is not a morality problem.
It is a dysregulation problem.

When humans feel safe in their bodies, they don’t need to shout to be heard,
Or numb to cope,
Or be on the attack to survive.

Regulation ripples outward.
A regulated parent raises a regulated child.
A regulated teacher shapes a regulated classroom.
A regulated partner creates a regulated relationship.
A regulated leader influences a regulated community.

This is why the small daily practices matter.
The breath.
The release.
The stillness.
The truth-telling.
The repair.
The time in nature.
The conscious exhale.

Not trying to completely eliminate survival responses as they are intelligent and necessary.

But imagine a world where they are the exception, not the baseline.
And a world filled with humans with regulated nervous systems, very little need to fight, flight, freeze or fawn.

Starting March 1st you can join me on a 7 week online course and learn the techniques that help me to stay regulated, grounded and present and in my body in times that are here to shake us to our core.

Embodied: Yoga for Mind, body and Soul.
Email shivspower@gmail.com or WhatsApp +27825550541 and il send the course curriculum and sign up information.
Hosted on Thinkific Platform which will be available for logging in on March 1st.

Six years on, many of us are still integrating the deep shifts that began when the world changed in 2020. For some, it felt like seeing behind a veil, unsettling, awakening, and impossible to ignore.

What lingered just as strongly, during that time, was the experience of not being heard. When something can’t be measured in conventional ways, it’s often dismissed. Yet intuition and lived experience are also forms of intelligence.

In 2020, I went through a period that deeply affected my mind and body. I was exposed to distressing information that overwhelmed my system, and living in London at the time intensified the stress. I later dealt with ongoing cortisol-related physical issues, mental health struggles, and a strong sense of isolation. Moving back home to Jozi in lock down, after ten years of being away, felt surreal, like I was in a different reality to those around me. Looking back, I can see how overloaded my nervous system truly was.

These times have shaken humanity. Systems are questioned, shadows surface, and while that can feel heavy, it is also where healing begins. Awakening asks us to hold both light and dark without being consumed by either, and to return to compassion, presence, and conscious living.

For me, the solution begins within - and this is where yoga comes in.
Yoga brings us back into relationship with the body, instead of living only in the mind. It helps clear what we carry, regulate the nervous system, and create safety inside ourselves. Through breath, movement, stillness, and awareness, we gently meet old wounds and begin to live from presence rather than survival.

To practice yoga is to remember wholeness. To treat the body as a temple. To listen deeply. To unite mind, body, and soul.

Starting 1st March, I’ll be hosting a 7-week online yoga course where we use movement and breathwork to gently move through heavy emotions. Through somatic practices, you’ll learn how to release what the body is holding and develop tools to navigate challenging times, supporting regulation, presence, and connection, rather than turning to numbing or dissociation.

More details coming soon...

Throwback to my 200hr teacher training.

This was our final hike up the mountains to find the Shiva Tree.
I had no idea how far, how high, or how long we would be walking. I was completely unprepared… and I had no water. I remember the thirst so vividly - dry mouth, heavy legs, but I just kept going.
Around 20 of us began that hike. Only a handful made it to the end.

That training was one of the most pivotal experiences of my life. About a month in an ashram - where I was deeply humbled by the philosophy behind the practices. Even getting there was a journey of surrender: a 24-hour taxi ride from Delhi up winding mountain roads, trusting something greater was pulling me. I had missed my flight due to visa issues and as it was my first time arriving in India, I believed them when they said it was only a 5 hour drive. Lol.

I arrived as a non believer, convinced I’d never believe in chakras or “woo-woo” energy. One week in… I was completely transformed.

Now my teachings are rooted in understanding the depth of our energetic system and how profoundly it can change our lives.

Teaching yoga is my dharma - my life’s work. Yoga is so much more than stretching; it’s a system of techniques that teaches us how to truly know ourselves and return to presence again and again.

When I arrived at that ashram, it was my first period of sobriety in my adult life. The calm and serenity I felt - simply being in my body without needing anything external to regulate myself, was the most powerful feeling I had ever known.
Through these practices, I learned how to come back to that state of coherence from within.

That mountain and that hike live in me. They remind me of my strength, my resilience, and the deep knowing that I can climb any mountain to find my Shiva Tree.

Join me from March 1st for an online course on Yoga and Sobriety, and let me share this path with you - especially if you’re sober curious and ready to explore self-mastery through yoga.

Weekly yoga is in full swing at Shibumi 🍃

Join me for in-person classes, online sessions, group classes, and private sessions.

My classes are a balance of activation and deep relaxation, with energetic elements to support emotional release. I weave in embodied philosophy so you understand the science behind the practices - while also reconnecting to your inner strength, adaptability, and the truth that you already have everything within you to create your most aligned reality.

Yoga is my ultimate medicine for self-mastery, and it’s my passion and joy to share this path with you.

See you on the mat!

Going on retreat has always been my sacred way of returning home to myself.

A long and slow exhale from the rush of life, where time slows and nature reminds us of what truly matters.

When I did my teacher training, I spent a month living simply in an ashram — surrounded by silence, practice, and the rhythm of the earth. It was one of the most profound awakenings of my life, a remembering of who I am beneath it all. This has always been my medicine, and it has always had a powerful influence on my journey. Each one so unique, with its own magical mystical lesson.

This is why I hold retreating so close to my heart. They are not escapes but returns.
Returning to nourishment, stillness, breath, and truth. A space where we soften, expand, and fall in love with our bodies and minds once again and where the soul feels safe to return over and over.

Join me this February in Botswana, and experience it for yourself.
This land is alive with spirit and is the perfect place to come home to yourself in the most beautiful way.
