My name is Shama. It means fire.
I didn’t choose this path in a single moment. It revealed itself slowly, through a growing sensitivity to something alive within the body and the natural world. What I now share comes from that unfolding: a practice I call Inner Fire Yoga.
Inner Fire Yoga is not about stepping away from life. It is about learning how to stay in it more fully.
Through breath, attention, and simple, repeatable practices, you begin to notice a subtle warmth within, a kind of inner current that responds to how you move, how you listen, how you relate to the world around you. Over time, this sensitivity deepens. Ordinary moments start to feel less ordinary. The body becomes more receptive. Nature begins to feel less like something outside you, and more like something you are in conversation with. This work can be practiced anywhere, woven into daily life. But in the Himalayas, something shifts more quickly.
The land in Nepal carries a certain intensity. The elements feel close. Fire, river, wind, and stone are not distant metaphors here, they are immediate, almost participatory. Through conscious hikes, simple fire practices, and time spent in nature in quiet attention, many people find that their inner experience becomes clearer, more vivid, more alive.
There is also a living cultural thread here, especially through feminine-centered traditions that continue to honor the intelligence of nature in direct and embodied ways. Being in contact with this way of life, even briefly, can stir something ancient and familiar within.
This work is offered through guided Inner Fire Yoga retreats, immersive experiences in Nature, and Shakti Nature Pilgrimages in the Himalayas. Each is an entry point into the same unfolding.
You can explore the offerings below and feel what calls you.
Shama is a Medical Doctor (MBBS), Qigong and Inner Fire Yoga Instructor, and a teacher of heart-centered Vedic practices originating in the wisdom of the Rig Veda, the oldest Yogic text.
She leads Sacred Women Pilgrimages to the ancient Shakti sites of the Himalayas, powerful places where the wisdom of the Divine Feminine continues to flow through land and tradition. Through these journeys, women are invited to awaken their inner Shakti, rediscover their inseparable connection with nature and the living feminine energy that flows through all life, and embody the fullness of their sacred womanhood.
In the Himalayas, women begin to feel their inner Shakti awakening, and their profound connection with the living earth.
