Leela Sivakami

I have spent my lifetime searching for more than the mundane.

​

Ten years ago, everything began to fall into place, as I signed up for a Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training after 2 years of daily yoga. I was ready to go deeper, to understand parts of myself I knew were in me but didn't know how to access.

Through this training and while my life to others seemed to be falling apart, I was discovering the greatest gift I could ever come across... Myself.

​

I believe that when one begins practicing yoga, be it through asana (physical practice) or some other avenue, one realizes that there is nowhere in one's life that yoga doesn't exist. Yoga is the way we live our lives from our thoughts to our beliefs to our bodies to our feelings to our relationships, etc.

​

My personal practice is deeply introspective, understanding that I create my life through those thoughts, feelings and beliefs. There is nothing outside of ourselves that is responsible for the way our lives are. 

​

Some of my regular practices are meditation, ritual, breathwork, sound, asana, and being in nature. Spirit guides my life in all aspects, and I have surrendered to it as I know that is the way for me.

 

In my yoga classes, I have guided all levels and ages of students from children to seniors, beginners to fellow teachers. I have become deeply intimate with yin yoga, as it is a very meditative and in-moving practice. In my classes, I encourage others to look within themselves for clarity, guidance, healing, and answers through the exploration of their own yoga practice on and off the mat.

​

After reading Between Death and Life by Dolores Cannon, I felt so inspired by her and the work she does as a hypnotherapist that guides people through past lives and the space between lives. I took her training in the Summer of 2023 and have since sat with many clients to do this same work with them. This is work that I am deeply passionate about, as I am merely a guide leading each client to heal themselves in whichever way is most needed at that particular time in their life.

​

I am also an intuitive jewelry designer. I create intuitive malas for people by meditating on them and receiving guidance with the stones to use, the design aspect, as well as the meaning of the stones as pertaining to them in the mala I am creating for them. It is such a beautiful way to connect to spirit and trust in the messages that come through. 

​

I love my life and I love sharing my gifts and abilities with all who choose to trust me in that process.
