With Presence and Care
Walking the path with you
The Heart Behind Sampurna
For Shikha, yoga is a living practice, a journey of returning to oneself. She remains a student of yoga, rooted in the understanding that we are continuously learning and evolving. Her path unfolds through self-inquiry, where awareness becomes the foundation for understanding the body, mind, and energy.
As a C-IAYT Certified Yoga Therapist and founder of Sampurna, her work is inspired by balance and the natural rhythms of life. We are constantly changing physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically, and in ways shaped by what we carry from before us. Each phase of life brings new experiences, challenges, and opportunities, inviting a deeper understanding of oneself.
Shikha’s work supports self-understanding by meeting each person where they are. Instead of a fixed method, she helps individuals build practices that are supportive, sustainable, and aligned with their unique needs. Some days bring energy; others call for rest. Like nature, we move in cycles. Honoring our energy helps us live with balance, ease and awareness.
She believes that the way we think shapes the way we experience life, and that meaningful change begins with this awareness. For Shikha, yoga is a journey of the self, to the self, and through the self.
How I Hold the Work
The Sampurna Way
Add a Title
1
A space of presence
I hold a space where nothing is rushed, corrected, or imposed. We begin with listening, allowing what is present to be met with care and respect for your individual pace.
2
A thoughtful beginning
The process starts with a consultation and detailed intake to understand your needs, history and current experience, creating a clear and supportive foundation for the work.
3
Holistic Healing Method
Blending yoga therapy and Taoist principles, the work integrates body, breath, and awareness as a connected whole—physical, mental, emotional & energetic.
4
Awareness and adaptation
Practices are not fixed, but shaped in response to your needs, your life, and your readiness. The work remains adaptive, meeting you where you are as it unfolds.
5
A return to wholeness
The work is not about fixing, it is about returning. Over time, a greater ease is cultivated in the body, clarity in the mind, and a steady connection to what is already whole.
A space to return
to yourself
Sessions are therapeutic and contemplative, fostering balance, resilience, and self-connection. As a Kriyacharya and Dharma mentor, Shikha guides individuals in inquiry and inner exploration.
She offers structured programs for workplaces, schools, and universities, providing practical tools to manage stress, build resilience, and cultivate clarity.
At the heart of her work is a simple understanding. We are both shaped by our choices and shaping ourselves through them.
दायित्वं स्वीकरोतु
(Daayitvam svikarotu)
Accept responsibility
स्वयमेव उन्नत: करोतु
(Swayameva unnatah karotu)
Lift yourself up by yourself.
Sampurna reflects the understanding that nothing is missing there is a quiet completeness within each of us. With deep gratitude, Shikha shares this work openly, offering it to those who feel called.
"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."
