“Attending the Executive Clarity Circle in Varkala was one of the best decisions I’ve made in years. As someone used to controlling every variable in business, I was humbled by how much I had neglected my inner world. The retreat wasn’t dramatic – it was subtle, intentional, honest. Shilpa doesn’t teach from a pedestal. She meets you where you are, which for me was burnout. What I found was mental stillness, sharpness, and most importantly – space to breathe.”

“You’re never too old to begin again. I signed up for online sessions during lockdown with zero flexibility and too much skepticism. But the slow, clear guidance – plus Shilpa’s gentle humour – made it all feel possible. Two years later, I’m still at it. I touch my toes now, yes. But more than that – I’ve learned how to slow my breath and be okay with silence. That’s been the real gift.”

“Balance & Bliss helped me rebuild my relationship with my own body. I used to see movement as punishment – now it feels like prayer. The yoga for strength & mobility classes didn’t just change how I move, they changed how I carry myself in the world. More grounded. More alive. Shilpa teaches with so much respect and presence – it healed something deeper than I expected.”

“We brought Shilpa in for a corporate wellness workshop during a tough re-org period. The energy in the room shifted – people who hadn’t paused in weeks were breathing, laughing, even reflecting. It didn’t feel like a ‘session’, it felt like a necessary reset. Our team asked for more. And when professionals ask for stillness in the middle of chaos, that says everything.”

“I came into Shilpa’s digital retreat with one tab open for Zoom and twenty others open in my head. By day three, something shifted. The guided breathwork helped me focus like I hadn’t in months. It didn’t just slow me down – it helped me remember what truly matters. I now keep a post-it on my desk: ‘Not everything urgent is important.’ Thanks to Shilpa, I actually live that now.”

“Losing my husband broke something in me I didn’t know could be fixed. A friend sent me Shilpa’s ‘Art of Doing Nothing’ retreat link – and I almost didn’t go. But I’m so glad I did. We didn’t talk much. We didn’t need to. It was the silence, the stillness, the sun rays touched me while we breathed in sync… that helped me find my way back to myself. There was no big healing moment. Just small ones. That stayed.”

“I had spent years putting everyone else first – my children, in-laws, my husband. Somewhere, I forgot what I needed. Joining Shilpa’s group sessions was the first thing I did just for myself. It was just one hour a week, but those sessions became my anchor. I started breathing better, sleeping better… and more than anything, I felt seen. She reminded me that being gentle with yourself is also strength. I feel like a more present mother and a lighter human.”

“After my long-term relationship ended, I was completely broken. I joined a Seasonal Reset Circle with zero expectations. But that circle became my safe space. The combination of silence, journaling, and breathwork helped me grieve and begin again, without needing to fix or rush anything. I still hear Shilpa’s words sometimes when I doubt myself: ‘You’re not broken. You’re just between chapters.’ It helped me reclaim softness in a time of sharpness.”

I attended the Soul Reset retreat in Hong Kong while visiting my sister. I had no idea what I was walking into – yoga, journaling, quiet woods. Honestly, it felt strange at first. But by Day 3, I found myself writing things I hadn’t admitted to anyone, not even myself. Shilpa holds space in this rare, unobtrusive way. She lets you arrive as you are, and somehow you leave lighter. It’s hard to explain. But it works.

“Leading a team remotely during a high-stakes year burned me out in ways I didn’t even realize. I was reactive, distracted, and honestly… a bit lost. The 1:1 leadership clarity sessions with Shilpa helped me slow down and re-center. She didn’t give me ‘tips’ – she taught me how to lead from presence. I’ve become a better listener, less controlling, and more in tune with myself and my team. My productivity improved not because I worked harder, but because I learned when to pause.”

“My daughter gifted me a few private yoga sessions with Shilpa after I had heart surgery. I wasn’t too sure at first – I’m not the yoga type. But her sessions didn’t ask me to ‘perform’. She simply guided me to listen to my breath, move slowly, and feel more at ease in my body. It’s been six months now, and I still practice the breathwork every morning. It brings me peace I didn’t know I needed.”

“I didn’t come to yoga for spirituality. I came because I couldn’t bend down to tie my own shoes without losing breath. My weight had climbed, my energy crashed, and I knew something had to change. Shilpa’s weight balance yoga wasn’t about pressure or goals – it was about reconnecting to my own body with respect. Four months in, I’ve dropped weight, but more importantly, I’ve dropped the self-loathing. I feel strong, lighter, more alive. I even enjoy moving now.”
