Shivani Soares

Shivani brings warmth, depth, aliveness and authenticity to all her offerings, from Movement Medicine group sessions to 1-1 coaching.

Having an MA in Dance/ Movement Psychotherapy (Goldsmith's College, UK) and trained in Movement Medicine, Shivani has been dancing for more than 15 years, and teaching Movement Medicine for the past 9 years in Lisbon and Aljezur (Portugal), London (UK), and online.

Her approach blends and drinks from Movement Medicine, 5 Rhythms and DancingTao, ISTA (International School of Temple Arts) and conscious sexuality, psychotherapy, meditation and satsang with Mooji and Ganga Mira.

Combining science (she has a degree in Medicine) and embodiment practices, spirituality (she lived with Mooji for 5 years at his ashram, and has been attending satsang with Ganga Mira) with sacred intimacy, polarity and conscious sexuality (she trained with ISTA and tantra teachers), one can say that she is an intrepid explorer of life and its paradoxes and wholesomeness.

Spirit, soul journeys, freedom, authenticity, intimacy, love, masculine & feminine, dark & light, are themes she keeps coming back to, questioning and surrendering to the wisdom of life, and daring to meet the edges & the core with curiosity, love and presence.

It would take a few pages to describe all the intricacies and layers of what this weekend brought me, but in a nutshell I can say that it was profoundly transformative. Shivani held a very sacred space where all of us felt safe and welcomed as we were, at that moment in time. Thank you!' - Naya
In a one-to-one session Shivani held for me in my living room, I felt gently supported from the moment we began. I had come with something specific I wanted to explore — an emotional pattern that often shows up when I dance — and Shivani held the space with such care that I was able to meet it not with analysis or effort, but through movement. With barely any words, she created an atmosphere of safety and trust. She listened deeply — not just to what I said, but to what was unfolding in my body as she gently guided me throu - Simon
