Hello, my name is Shikha. I am a software engineer and a yoga enthusiast currently living in the Bay Area. I'm also a mom, a wife, an Ayurveda student, an energy healer, and just a small-town girl sharing her knowledge and experience with those who are interested. I grew up in India in a small town surrounded by the Aravali hills. My elementary education was at a vedic school and it inculcated an interest in yoga, mantras and spirituality in me at an early age. I entered mainstream education institutes starting with middle school and my journey took me to Engineering. I love physics, electromagnetic field theory, system design and writing code to solve problems. I also love sports, especially, racket sports. I completed my Master’s from IIT Bombay, where, circumstances led me to revisit my spiritual side. I moved to the US shortly after and was reintroduced to yoga (in a western way). Here, I have been practicing yoga off and on for the past 10 years. My health challenges in recent years have acted as a catalyst in my learnings in the field of yoga, ayurveda and energy healing. I have completed my 200 RYT yoga teacher training under Dr. Veena Moondra at Veena Yog Kendra, Cyndi Dale’s Apprenticeship program and quantum energy healing courses from Cyndi Dale, coursework in Principles of Ayurveda and Ayurvedic assessment and pulse diagnosis from Vaidya Jayarajan Kodikannath at Kerala Ayurveda, introduction to vedic astrology from Dr. Sisira Amarasinghe. 

I work with the bright minds of Silicon valley day-in and day-out while navigating life as a mom to 2 little kids. I'm living in the West and revisiting the ancient Indian sciences and have been associated with both sides of teachings and practices in these fields. These experiences have motivated me to bridge the gap between the scientific and the spiritual, the West and the East, the mundane and the extraordinary experiences. 

I teach online yoga classes, offer life coaching and energy healing support. If you're a sensitive person, it'll empower you in your journey. Check out my Classes for schedule and pricing.
