Tarot & Inquiry
A skilled Taroist, Shiva uses the images in the tarot deck as a doorway into the archetypal forces playing out in your life. These tarot sessions are collaborative and filled with inquiry. They will give you insight into how best to work with the energy of the moment and how to move forward in your practice.
Embodiment & Asana
Yoga postures and somatics are a means to move stagnant energy, infuse every cell with awareness and process, release and integrate our mental, emotional and spiritual experiences through our bodies.
Awakening happens in the body, as the body, through the body.
Study with me focuses on the teachings of awakening and liberation as passed down through the tradition of non-dual tantrik shaivism. The body plays a central role in this, though not to the exclusion of the mind, or heart. You could also says “awakening happens in the mind, as the mind, through the mind,” or “Awakening happens in the heart….etc” insofar as the mind and body and heart are actually one thing – hence the term “non-dual.”
About Me
I have been teaching yoga since 2001 and teaching massage therapy since 2006. Though I didn’t realize it at the time, my first massage teacher, Lee Joseph was a student of Papaji and was teaching nondual realization throughout my entire massage education. In 2014 I found classical nondual tantra and from then on was a student in this tradition and a devotee of the goddess. I am a practitioner and teacher of nondual-based somatic embodiment practices and am currently studying Jungian psychology and Sanskrit at Naropa University. I live in Boulder, Colorado with my husband, Jīvan, and two cats.
