For me finding the balance in life has been my driving force. Whether in work, relationships, or just through life I’ve found it so easy to get swept up and fall out of balance.
It takes a strong mind to be aware of the tipping point, especially because it often happens so gradually. But in the those moments, moments where everything feels right, is balance achieved. And each time balance is achieved, it becomes easier to recognize where that sweet spot in life is.
Over 15 years ago I started down my yoga journey, starting enthusiastically in Vinyasa, Core Yoga, Power Yoga, Ashtanga, and Bikram Yoga. Around the same time, I was in the early development of rheumatoid arthritis, and the yang-style yoga I loved became painful and sadly
inaccessible. I found myself wishing for a more friendly yoga and dropped from classes opting to practice on my own. Learning how to tune in and listen to what my body needs.
It wasn’t until I moved to New Zealand and the local studios offered more diverse and authentic yoga classes. My mat had moved from the gym to the temple. My understanding of anatomy, philosophy, and asana grew and inspired me once again! I could again feel that moment of balance.
Many years later and I found myself in India at the birthplace of yoga – Rishikesh. Here I studied for 5 months yoga, reiki, and sound healing. Discovering both the roots of yoga and myself. There, I found forms of yoga I had not studied before, falling in love with therapeutical practices and finding the balance in yoga – the yin and yang.

All objects in our universe are subtly vibrating, including you! The human body and mind are made up of energy vibrations, and that imbalances in these vibrations can lead to illness or other imbalances in ourselves.
Sound Healing is a holistic approach to healing that uses the frequency and vibration of sound to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Join me evenings at Studio YogaDurst in Laimach.
In our modern world we are surround by yang – constant stressors, places to be and people to meet. In our private and professionalives, we are expected to always be moving. But to find balance we must rest. We must create moments of yin – resting, recovering, and self-exploration. It is for this reason I am passionate about offering a safe place to recover and relax from the outside stressors.
I challenge you to try something new and join me for an hour of slowing down!
When not on the mat practicing yoga, you’ll find me in the air with my paraglider. I am an avid solo pilot who has recently achieved tandem certification. If you’re interested in taking to the skies in beautiful Zillertal please contact me, I’d love to share my passion with you!
RELAXATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF MEDITATION
Born and raised a stone’s throw away from the birthplace of Yoga, Shivam developed early an appreciation and connection with the spiritual roots.
Shivam has dedicated his time to sharing his wisdom over the last 10 years, teaching in Yoga Teacher Training Schools. It is here he was inspired to share his knowledge online and create a Yoga Training that deepens your knowledge of yoga, but without the hours of Teaching Methodology classes and teaching-specific topics that students looking to only expand their yoga practice pay unnecessarily for.
Join Shivam online for both group or private classes. Shivam and I will be cohosting a series of short retreats summer 2024.
