Trained at The Juilliard School and The Ailey School, Shivani was a professional dancer in New York until a career ending ankle surgery became the catalyst for spiritual exploration, and Yoga became her saving grace.  Retaining her interest in the expression of emotion through the body, Shivani is grateful to have found Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, and to offer this empowering holistic healing art to anyone with a desire to gain clarity by exploring their relationships between body, thoughts, feelings and life. She believes that everyone has the capacity to live from a place of inner wisdom, and that enhanced body awareness can facilitate healing within ones being. In both yoga therapy sessions and yoga classes, Shivani is known to be a loving presence, by inviting and supporting without judgment.
