Midlife as a Sacred Initiation into Feminine Power & Presence
Radical Breakthrough Processes • Kundalini Yoga • Meditation • Mantra • Rituals
Feb. 2nd - Apr. 27, 2026
Return to the Inner Temple -Â Remember Who You Are.
Your body is speaking in new ways. Emotions live closer to the surface. Desires that once felt distant now pulse with urgency and clarity.
Something sacred within is ready to be honored.
Woman Awakened is a 6-week journey for women entering their Second Spring - women who are moving through midlife, perimenopause, or postmenopause and feel the call to reconnect with their vitality, voice, and feminine essence.
Through Kundalini Yoga, emotional alchemy, womb-centered ritual, mantra, and creative expression, this course offers a space to gather your energy, ground your knowing, and tend to what matters most.
This is the rite of passage your mother never had—but your soul remembers.
You’ll explore new rhythms of rest, power, and pleasure. You’ll strengthen your voice, deepen your intuition, and remember how to lead from within.
There is a wisdom rising in you that’s been hard-won and long-held.
This is the space where it’s finally given room to breathe.
This is Woman Awakened.
Â
 "Midlife is a metamorphosis – shedding old skins, igniting your inner fire, & blooming in full color."
All things carry yin yet embrace yang. They blend their life breaths in order to produce harmony.
- Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Through slow breath, gentle movement, mantra, and ritual, you attune to your own frequency. Instead of forcing progress, you learn to receive, focus arises naturally, and your creativity begins to awaken.
This work invites you to gently lay down the masks, the titles, roles, and stories and reconnect with your authentic sensual nature as a woman. It addresses the mind’s defenses and fear-based patterns, offering a pathway into embodied presence, compassion, and devotion. From this grounded state, creativity becomes an act of love.
Our container is rooted in inclusivity and the wisdom of mature feminine leadership. We honor women’s voices & visions.
Yin & Yang are the polarities of the universe - when in balance, they flow in a perfect rhythm.
Return to balance & remember the sacredness of your nature.Â
Through advanced Kundalini Yoga, meditation, & the circle of women, come back to your creative power, rooting you in stability, joy & connection.
Core Themes We'll Explore
Nervous System First
Prana
Breath is the first medicine. In Kundalini, prana regulates the nervous system, balances the mind, and anchors presence in the body. Awareness of breath is the foundation for every practice.
Rhythm & SurrenderÂ
Tao
The Tao speaks to the natural order of life. By honoring cycles of rest and renewal, we learn to walk in harmony with the rhythm of life. Surrender becomes a living trust in the intelligence of the universe.
Devotion as a Doorway
Bhakti
The Bhakti current is what transforms discipline into love. Small, daily practice becomes an act of devotion, softening resistance and deepening connection & momentum.
Sacred Sensuality
RasaÂ
Rasa is the essence, juice, flavor, the sweetness that flows when we are fully alive. To live in Rasa is to taste life as sacred: to feel the joy in breath, the poetry in touch, the subtle pleasure of being.
Creative Sovereignty
Naad
In Kundalini practice, it is through Naad that we discover our true voice and creative flow. When we attune to Naad, we reclaim our creativity and the freedom to create in harmony with the vibration of our soul.
Tending to your unique feminine rhythm...

My {Real & Raw} Story
My name is Pauline and I’m deeply passionate about guiding women to discover the innate knowing and power that lives within.Â
I've lived through three generations of suicide in my family, been broke, had health challenges and spent 20 years using drugs, alcohol and food to numb my pain.
I’ve learned through my challenging mental health journey that no woman is crazy by nature. We can learn to live in balance by returning to our nature and the cycles of our inner and outer Moon. Tending mindfully to the seasons of our lives.
And when we remember, learn to feel again and encourage new habits of a daily spiritual practice into our lives - far from perfection, but simply in Truth - we liberate ourselves from the indoctrination of this culture and it’s taboos.
I discovered a spiritual path and daily Sadhana through the Kundalini yoga teachings that enabled me to turn that trauma into purpose two decades ago.
At 40 years old, I birthed my daughter Sahej at home and that changed my life.
I deeply care about women and the ways we can serve the children of the Earth and our planet.
I founded Shakti school, a women’s learning sanctuary in 2008 and I’m here to simply be a guide on the path and share with you what I've received.
The mission of Shakti School is to give tools, practices and access to ancient Feminine teachings in a modern way to elevate the rising and balance of the Feminine Spirit.
I'm also a mother, musician and poet:
