    Discover the full, powerful you.

    Tap into a limitless source of energy and thrive.

    How do you feel right now? For many, life hums along in a low gear. Subtle lethargy, brain fog and a dull haze dim our experience without us even realising it. Our natural vitality slowly diminishes, leaving us chasing fleeting bursts of energy or enthusiasm that quickly fade. 

    This is the sign of being out of touch with the immense energy reservoir resting within you, your Shakti.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is Shakti Kriya different from Sudarshan Kriya™?

    While both are powerful breathing techniques, Shakti Kriya and Sudarshan Kriya™ are fundamentally different in their approach and purpose.

    Sudarshan Kriya™ works by guiding the breath into specific rhythms to harmonise the body, mind and emotions. It helps you access a deep inner energy by aligning with the natural cycles of the breath.

    Shakti Kriya, on the other hand, does not rely on breath rhythm in the same way. Instead, it taps into a more subtle, innate energy, awakening a natural flow that is already present within you. It’s a more inward and intuitive practice that leads to a deep experience of stillness and vitality.

    What are the benefits of Shakti Kriya?

    Shakti Kriya unlocks a range of powerful benefits that deepen your inner experience and elevate your daily life. Practitioners often report:

    • Increased vitality and life force.
    • Greater calm and emotional stability, with reduced stress and anxiety.
    • Deeper relaxation and more restful, rejuvenating sleep.
    • Enhanced meditation quality and a more effortless experience of Sudarshan Kriya™.
    • A growing sense of inner stillness, clarity and presence.

    This practice nourishes the subtle layers of your being, helping you feel more centered, energised, and connected from within.
