About Shilpa
Rooted in Tradition. Guided by Experience. Offered with Care.
Namaste, and welcome.
I’m Shilpa — founder of Advaya Holistic Wellness, a certified prenatal yoga teacher and a Holistic Ayurveda Health Counsellor devoted to supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood.
I was born and raised in India, the birthplace of Yoga and Ayurveda. My training is deeply rooted in traditional, lineage-based teachings passed down by authentic yoga gurus and Ayurvedic Vaidyas from South India, where I completed over 1000 hours of practical training together in Yoga and Ayurveda.
These ancient sciences are not concepts to me — they are a lived way of life.
My Journey into Prenatal Yoga
My path into prenatal yoga began from a deeply personal place.
While preparing to conceive my daughter, I felt a longing for practices that honored the body’s natural intelligence rather than overriding it. Through yoga, breathwork, and Ayurvedic rhythms, I experienced how profoundly the nervous system, emotions, and physical body are intertwined during fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum.
This experience transformed my relationship with my body — and ultimately inspired me to specialize in prenatal yoga so I could support other women through this sacred transition.
My Approach
With over 8 years of personal practice and teaching, I blend:
• Traditional yoga rooted in its original teachings
• Gentle, pregnancy-safe movement
• Breathwork and nervous system regulation
• Ayurvedic wisdom for nourishment and balance
My work supports women to:
• Move through pregnancy with strength and ease
• Release fear and anxiety around birth
• Feel deeply connected to their changing body
• Nourish themselves naturally
• Cultivate calm, presence, and trust
A Space to Slow Down
At Advaya Holistic Wellness, I hold space for mothers to slow down, reconnect, and remember their inner wisdom.
Pregnancy is not just about growing a baby.
It is about becoming a mother — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
My role is not to push or fix, but to guide gently, with respect for your body and your journey.
An Invitation
If you are seeking care that is:
• rooted in traditional wisdom
• personalized and gentle
• emotionally supportive
• and deeply respectful of this phase of life
You are welcome here.
Why Advaya?
Advaya is a Sanskrit word that means "non-dual," or "not two."
It speaks to the eternal truth that you are not separate from Source, from wholeness, from the Divine within you.
It’s a remembrance of your inherent unity — where healing isn’t about becoming someone new, but about returning to who you’ve always been.
Through Advaya Holistic Wellness, I offer spaces of return — to your energy, your clarity, your vitality, your divinity.
This is your invitation to come home —
to your power,
your peace,
and your infinite light.
