About the Instructor
For over 22 years, Krishna Abha has held space for people to come home to themselves through yoga, meditation, and movement. Her teaching is rooted in the understanding that the body carries wisdom, and that healing begins when we learn to listen with compassion, curiosity, and presence.
As the founder of Shaktiflow Studios and a somatic dance teacher, Krishna weaves the richness of Indian dance traditions into somatic movement, inviting students to reconnect with both their sensuality and their strength. Her classes explore what it means to move with authenticity, honouring the body not for how it looks, but for what it remembers, expresses, and knows.
Whether guiding a yoga class, leading meditation, facilitating somatic dance, or creating ritual-based experiences, Krishna invites people into practices that nourish the body, awaken the spirit, and deepen our relationship with ourselves, one another, and the natural world.
