...About one-on-one Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy sessions.

"I was not sure what to expect, but the results were profound. Shivani made me feel extremely comfortable and allowed me to be present with whatever thought or feeling surfaced. For the first time in my life I was actually listening to my inner guidance system. I was amazed to learn that I have been holding on to a lot of different feelings and emotions that were stored all over my body. During the session you are guided by Shivani's soothing voice to explore the things that come up, and have a sense of release and understanding. I am so happy to have found Shivani and have this experience with someone I trust. I truly believe I have learned so much and have grown and blossomed as an individual.  After each session there is a sense of lightness, release and serenity.  I usually feel like I float away from the session and am glowing from the inside out. Thank you Shivani."

-Maria Kowroski, Principal dancer, New York City Ballet

"I experience Shivani's presence to be so open and loving that I immediately feel safe to explore all the dark and light within my experience. She makes me feel safe and confident that even if what I am facing is scary, she will be there to witness and support my process.  I live in Maine and continue to drive to NYC a few times a year to receive from her."

-Jennifer Munyer, Mind Body Educator and PRYT practitioner

"Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy has been an awakening experience.  Both for my physical self and internal self.  Working with Shivani has brought me to a higher plane of consciousness, and better equipped me to flow through my environment. Finding lessons rather than becoming frustrated; finding peace rather than giving in to anger or anxiety.  I find myself in fast-paced environments, where it is necessary to always be 'on'. I have learned through sessions with Shivani how to be 'on' without being wound-up."

-Sarah G., Classical Music Announcer 90.5 WUOL

"Immediately, I felt comfortable with Shivani in each of our Phoenix Rising Therapy sessions. Shivani is open, thoroughly explains what to expect and then masterfully starts the work...she is gentle, intuitive and sensitive. She is physically strong, capable and supportive.  The deepest work for me were the visualizations.  Shivani was with me throughout my "journeys" within, helping me delve deeper and to frame experience in such a way that the insights could carry through to my life.  I highly recommend Shivani as a competent, caring therapist."

...About the 8-week program Turn Stress Into Bliss!

"This program has given me a way to feel better about my life. Through the practices we were taught, I now am able to handle my stress and feel better about what it is that is stressing me and work through it."

-Jen Costill, Turn Stress Into Bliss participant Spring 2009

"This program enabled me to find peace in acknowleding the qualities that make me who I am, but also helped me to see that much of the stress I deal with is of my own creation, from my own self-esteem issues. I feel like I have slowly begun to accept myself and therefore have learned to let go of stress too."
