Holding space for
transformation to unfold

Shikha Pasrija has been my Saturday morning Yoga instructor for many years.  It is a delight to be in her class as she is truly amazing and imparts a much more holistic approach to the practice as compared to any other Yoga class that I’ve taken. The energetic movement of prana and a grounded awareness of self through effective breath work and physical flow provides an almost spiritual realm to the balance of self.  While chanting has not been a part of my past practice, I have found the addition in Shikha’s class to be further integrating and calming.

In gratitude,

“I've been a regular attendee of Shikha’s Saturday gentle Yoga and Meditation for the past two years, and it's become an important part of my mental, physical, and spiritual health. The class is so accommodating — she always checks in with how we are doing physically and makes modifications for injuries or individual needs in each class. The real mystery and genius of Shikha’s teaching is that I never feel like I'm struggling or straining, yet through the practice she guides, I find myself becoming ever more strong and secure in my body. If you're looking for a space to nourish you in mind, body, and spirit, I highly recommend this class.”

“I am so happy to have worked with Shikha over the past few months. She embodies joy in human form. Her unique way of connecting with people on a spiritual level allows her to sense their energetic, emotional, and intellectual needs, responding to them with gentle care and ease. She is a gifted healer, teacher, and spiritual guide.” 

“The Saturday morning "gentle yoga and meditation" class with Shikha is the best. Her authentic warmth and caring makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Shikha shares her vast knowledge and expertise with us every time. This class is not about skill level, rather it reminds us to put ego aside. I always leave feeling rejuvenated yet calm. I have learned so much from her since I started attending 2 years ago. I highly recommend this class. Shikha is truly a teacher of yoga.” 

“I have attended Shikha's "Gentle Yoga and Meditation" classes as regularly as possible throughout the years. Her classes are so beautiful and informative. She is such an amazing teacher, and learning from her has been such a pleasure. I consistently leave her classes feeling abundantly more present, aware, cleansed, and overall refreshed. She has such a kind soul and I'm so grateful to have found her classes. I hope you find yourself trying one of them soon. One class will, without a doubt, change your mood and your life. Thank you Shikha🤍”

“Classes with Shikha are an essential part of my week. I always leave my class feeling uplifted, calm, centered and ready to handle life more peacefully. Shikha has an immense amount of knowledge and wisdom, and she seamlessly weaves it into her transformative classes. I truly have gained so much by being her student and I highly recommend her to everyone I meet.” 

"A truly comprehensive and soulful experience. Shikha’s intuition and deeply loving presence held our family through yoga, meditation, and Reiki with great
care and compassion. She supported us through moments of anxiety and grief with tenderness and wisdom. Every session feels like a blessing — a moment of healing and a reminder that we are guided and deeply held."

"Working with Shikha has been a deeply grounding and healing experience. Her presence is calm, intuitive, and full of compassion. She truly creates a space where you feel supported and gently guided inward. Each session feels like a pause from the noise of life and a moment to simply return to balance. Her wisdom and sincerity make the journey feel both so safe and so meaningful."

The day I met Shikha was a blessing from the Divine. I will never forget it because it is one of those special memories you hold so close to your heart. I was asking for a sign. Shikha walked in with all her light. The yoga experience was just the same. Shikha is genuinely and authentically connected which invites you in immediately! The best way I can describe it is being in a blissful home, no walls, no guard, no criticism, just pure unconditional love! I recommend her to all my friends and family who are searching for answers, healing or yoga. Practicing with Shikha is a one of a kind experience, leaving you with a whole new perspective on life!  

I attend Shikha's "Gentle Yoga" class on Saturday mornings.  It is never the same class twice as Shikha draws on her tremendous experience and knowledge to tailor every session to the unique needs of the students in front of her.  What remains constant is her love, her light, her intuition, her humor, and her gentle reminders to attend to our experience of the moment. The space Shikha creates is always profound and always sacred.

It is such an inspiration to know Shikha and be witness and the recipient of her care. She is the kind of person that any sincere student of Yoga should sit with. She is patient and generous. Her wisdom comes from a deep knowing and the way she shares is always matched to the recipient. 

Not only have I had the pleasure to learn from Shikha, but also be transformed through knowing her. In particular, in 2025 I had been on again off again suffering from kidneys stones. Over a period of about 48 hours, Shikha sent me support in the form of Reiki, and assigned visualization and mantra to safely and comfortably pass the stones. I will always be grateful for her.

It is with deep bows of respect that I recommend working with Shikha.

Working with Shikha has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. Her presence feels like that of a compassionate guide who is always walking beside me. It often feels as though she gently lifts the obstacles from my path, making my journey through life a little lighter, clearer, and more easeful.

She has a unique gift for helping me navigate life's challenges with greater awareness, confidence, and inner peace. Rather than giving me answers, she helps me discover them within myself. Through her wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support, I have learned to trust myself, move through obstacles with greater resilience, and reconnect with the strength that has always been within me.

I am deeply grateful for her guidance and for the safe, nurturing space she creates. Her work has made a profound difference in my life, and I cannot recommend her enough.
