My Journey
Hey there! I’m Soumya - Welcome to aadiShakti!
Once upon a time, I was living what looked like the “dream” - a corporate job in the food industry, the best food on my plate (trust me, I loved my job!) but also endless deadlines . But honestly? I was stuck in autopilot mode, disconnected from the simple joys of life. I barely noticed magical sunrises, sunsets or even my own needs. My lifestyle was anything but mindful—I was living to work, eating for comfort, and completely out of touch with my body and soul.. My life was go-go-go, with no pause. I wasn’t just unhealthy physically (68kg, for those who care about numbers), I was mentally stuck in an unconscious loop, living for work I was existing sure but missing the spark.
Fast forward to 2020, and there I was—stepping onto a yoga mat for the first time diving headfirst into Ashtanga practice.. Little did I know, that simple step would turn into a wild, life-changing adventure. My first intense session? 108 Sun Salutations (yes, 108! wild, right?). That sweaty, soul-shaking experience woke me up inside.. With every repetition, my mind and soul decluttered, peeling back layers of thoughts and self-talk. Every repetition felt like a conversation with myself—one part of me wanting to quit, the other curious to push through and discover more. That experience wasn’t just physically challenging; it was mentally freeing.
That was my “aha” moment: Life isn’t about endless grinding or fancy food—it’s about connection. Connection with your body, your mind and the world around you. And for me, taking on that challenge was my way of reconnecting.
So, I made the boldest move of my life. I traded the 9-to-6 grind for a yoga mat, took a leap of faith and never looked back. Yoga gave me discipline, freedom, balance and a sense of purpose I never knew I was missing. Every teacher, student, and practice added a new layer to my journey —and it’s still a work in progress. I’m constantly learning, evolving, and growing—and now, I’m here to share it all with you and help you shape your journey!
AadiShakti is my heart and soul—a space where we can laugh, grow, stretch and rediscover what truly makes life beautiful. It’s about real connection, mindful movement and embracing the beauty of being alive. Whether you’re here to find your balance, feel stronger , try something new or simply breathe a little deeper, to feel a little more you, this is your space to shine. I’ve got you!
So, are you ready to tap into your inner Shakti (your inner power) and wake up to your best self?
Let’s flow, grow and glow—together! Let’s do this!!!
With love and light,
Soumya
