Private Prenatal & Postpartum Yoga -Rooted in Traditional Yogic & Ayurvedic Wisdom.
Gentle, personalised 1:1 support for pregnancy, birth preparation, and early motherhood — designed to help you feel calm, informed, and deeply connected to your body.
Pregnancy Is a Sacred Transition — Not a Time to Push Harder
Pregnancy changes everything - your body, your energy, your emotions, your identity.
Yet many expecting mothers are offered practices that feel rushed, overly physical, or disconnected from what their body truly needs.
In traditional yoga, pregnancy is seen as an inward journey.
A time to slow down.
A time to listen.
A time to build trust in the body that is creating life.
Your yoga practice should support this intelligence - not exhaust it.
A Gentle, Personalized Approach to Prenatal & Postpartum Care
At Advaya Holistic Wellness, I offer private 1:1 prenatal and pregnancy-to-postpartum yoga rooted in:
• Classical yogic wisdom
• Nervous system regulation
• Ayurvedic understanding of pregnancy
• Deep respect for the feminine body
This is not fitness-based prenatal yoga.
This is holistic preparation for motherhood — physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Who This Support Is For
This work is especially supportive if you:
• Are pregnant or newly postpartum
• Live a busy, high-responsibility life
• Want personalized care rather than group classes
• Feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected
• Want to prepare for birth without fear
• Value calm, privacy, and depth
If you’re looking for fast-paced group workouts or performance-based yoga, this may not be the right fit — and that’s okay.
What Private 1:1 Support Looks Like
Your sessions are a safe, judgment-free space where you are met exactly where you are.
Depending on your stage, sessions may include:
• Pregnancy-safe movement
• Gentle breathwork & nervous system regulation
• Pelvic floor & core support
• Grounding practices for emotional balance
• Birth preparation guidance
• Postpartum body reconnection & care
Support doesn’t end when the baby arrives — and neither does my care.
Words from Mothers I’ve Supported
-
Shilpa is an amazing yoga instructor. She is very knowledgeable and patient and constantly customizes the class based on how we are feeling and what we need. She takes the time to check in with us, and provides corrections and suggestions for both in-class and outside of class. I could tell a difference in body and mind from just a few classes in. Its hard to find a yoga class with good attention to breathwork and mindful asanas and Shilpa does a great job at it !

Meet Shilpa
I’m Shilpa - a certified prenatal yoga teacher and Holistic Ayurveda Health Councillor, born and raised in India, the birthplace of Yoga and Ayurveda.
My own journey into prenatal yoga began while preparing to conceive my daughter. Through traditional yoga, breathwork, and Ayurvedic wisdom, I experienced how deeply the body, mind, and nervous system need gentle, informed support during pregnancy and postpartum.
This journey shaped my devotion to supporting women through this sacred transition — with slowness, reverence, and practices rooted in lineage-based wisdom.
Yoga, to me, is not just posture.
It is harmony between body, breath, mind, and soul.
