Passionate about yoga, diversity, and inclusivity with mind and body alignment

My journey into yoga began with a focus on the physical aspects (asana). As I evolved in both my yoga practice and life, I discovered the profound significance of yoga beyond the mat. My aim is to guide you in seamlessly weaving the essence of yoga into every facet of your life. Immerse yourself in the transformative power that goes beyond mere movement—aligning your mind and spirit, fostering a life of fulfillment and balance.

Flowing With Creatives

I shared different techniques with Midlands Clay Arts Society that they can incorporate into their daily routines. Just a few minutes of stretching and mindful breathing each day can help improve overall well-being, making it easier to stay inspired and energized

Healers Need Movement

Sheanah Rivers, a Certified Reiki Master and Multi-Dimensional Healer, visited me for a stretch session where we focused on relieving tension in the lower back and practiced cooling breathing techniques.

  • “I find myself still doing some of the stretches and yoga poses that Shanika taught me. Forever grateful.“

    I had an amazing stretch session down at the Riverwalk with Shanika. I've always felt like I've been in great shape for my age but I did realize that all of my computer chair sitting has taken a toll on my flexibility. Shanika didn't overly force me to discomfort but guided me in a way that made me want to put in more effort in the stretch. The stretching, combined with the atmosphere of the Riverwalk really made me feel, idk how to explain it... Connected? Connected with myself and with nature. After a long bouts on the computer I find myself still doing some of the stretches and yoga poses that Shanika taught me. Forever grateful.

  • “ I had an excellent experience working with Shanika Pichey on a two-year grant project managed by my company, Zenger Strategies. “

    She provided multiple office yoga and wellness training sessions for mental and behavioral health staff in rural counties across the state. Our goal was to deliver a practical and skills-based workshop that offered stress relief to a group of employees that greatly needs and deserves it.

    Her serene and reassuring presence, coupled with her exceptional ability to provide clear instructions, set the perfect tone for these wellness sessions. But what sets Shanika apart is her commitment to customization and inclusivity. Shanika collaborated closely with my team at Zenger Strategies to ensure the sessions were tailored to our audience and their needs. Her adaptability, dedication, and ability to create inclusive sessions is truly commendable. I can’t recommend her services enough.”

  • Shanika’s cheerful and generous energy is infectious!

    Shanika demonstrated several stretches and techniques for the Midlands Clay Arts Society at our monthly meeting. The potters are all anxious to incorporate the exercises into their daily routines. Shanika’s cheerful and generous energy is infectious! She explained the stretches and how they affected the body while demonstrating the moves, while the potters followed along. Our group learned a lot and highly recommend Shanika’s services. Wonderful experience!
