Shakti Sessions

An Embodied Awakening of Feminine Life Force

Awaken the Creative Life Force Within

Shakti Sessions are guided, embodied experiences designed to activate feminine energy, release stored tension, and restore vitality through movement, breath, and presence.

What is a Shakti Session?

Shakti is the creative life force energy that lives within the body. When it flows freely, we feel alive, grounded, sensual, and connected. When it becomes blocked—through stress, trauma, over-giving, or disconnection—we may feel numb, depleted, or stuck.

Shakti Sessions are intentionally held, embodied experiences that support this energy in awakening and moving again—gently, safely, and with deep respect for the body’s wisdom.

These sessions are rooted in somatic awareness, energetic intelligence, and intuitive movement. They are not performance-based or choreographed. Rather, they offer an invitation to listen inward and allow the body to guide the experience.

Shakti Sessions© weaves together dance and yoga movement, energetic awareness, and intuitive guidance to create spaces that are safe, reverent, and deeply transformative. The practice isn’t about performance or fixing but about listening—inviting each participant to reconnect with their own rhythm, intelligence, and truth.

Meet Your Guide

The Shakti Sessions© practice emerged from Anastasia’s healing journey through severe autoimmune disease and complex PTSD. She shares her grounded, trauma-aware facilitation style—honoring the body as both a healer and a teacher.

Trained in both USA and India, Anastasia is a certified Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor and Yoga Teacher. She brings 30 years professional experience in Near Eastern and North African dance—traditions rooted in feminine ritual, pelvic intelligence, and embodiment of life force. Anastasia approaches movement as a language for emotional release, nervous system regulation, and reconnection to the body’s innate wisdom. Rooted in both Dance and Therapeutic yoga, Anastasia holds space with an understanding of how physical, emotional, and energetic patterns intertwine.
