Shikha is an internationally certified mindfulness coach and yoga teacher based in Mumbai, with a decade of corporate experience in multinational marketing roles. After experiencing the transformative power of mindfulness during a challenging period, she made the shift from corporate life to full-time wellness teaching. Her journey began over ten years ago, sparked by a deep desire to find physical and mental well-being amidst the demands of a fast-paced career.

Shikha holds a BTech in IT, an MBA in Marketing, and certifications in mindfulness from the Centre of Mindfulness in Singapore and the International Mindfulness Teachers Association (IMTA). She has completed over 600 hours of yoga teacher training and has accumulated more than 2,800 hours of teaching experience, having guided over 2,200 people globally in Hatha yoga and mindfulness.

Shikha views herself as a lifelong seeker—always a practitioner and learner before a teacher. Her approach focuses on fostering self-awareness, emotional resilience, and authentic self-expression. She passionately believes that mindfulness and yoga are tools for mental and emotional well-being, offering individuals a path toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. Through personalized coaching, tailored corporate programs, and group sessions, she provides a supportive environment for individuals to cultivate balance, empathy, and inner strength.
