“What a time to be alive and tend the fire of our vital energy and conscious evolution in community, on behalf of all.” - Shiva Rea
Shiva Rea
Shiva Rea serves the innate intelligence within nature and our rhythmic bodies. As a global prana vinyasa teacher, Shiva empowers people from all walks of life to experience the flow of breath and our extraordinary energetic body. She has done fieldwork and offered yoga in over 50 countries from urban centers to ancient sites, large-scale festivals to indigenous Chumash grandmother’s council.
As founder of Prana Vinyasa and the Samudra Global School for Living Yoga, Shiva integrates the roots of vinyasa, yoga, Ayurveda, and tantra in creative, life-transforming courses and trainings. Her studies in Tantra, Ayurveda, Krishnamacharya lineage, Kalaripayattu from CVN Kalari, World Dance and somatic movement infuse her approach to living yoga and embodying the flow. Her activism extends from the worldwide Global Mala Project, to Yoga Energy Activism and gatherings for women.
Shiva x Global Flow
Shiva Rea was one of my first teachers, I started practicing with her sixteen years ago and it had a lasting influence on my own path as a practitioner and teacher. Her work opened up a way of experiencing yoga as a creative, embodied practice that extends far beyond the mat.
At Global Flow, we love the way Shiva brings embodiment and ritual into her teachings, creating practices that are felt rather than explained. We’re excited to share this aspect of her work with our community, as it invites yoga to be lived and integrated beyond the mat.
"I have been coming to Shiva’s workshops for many years as a way to continual learning and evolving as a yoga teacher and human being. Shiva’s approach to the roots and evolution of yoga in practical, mystical, scientific and creative ways has helped me stay inspired on the path.
