A Yin immersion to restore your body, awaken your sensuality, & connect you to your natural feminine rhythm.
The Yin moves as a naturally receptive current, a river of grounding. Yin is essential to the dynamic harmony of nature, inviting us back to our original state of balance.
In modern day culture, we're disconnected from this current. Women find themselves overwhelmed & overworked by filling a thousand roles. In this dominance of yang energy, we’ve become imbalanced and deficient in our yin. Our minds loop in self-doubt and fear, while hustle and perfectionism harden into barriers that stall our gifts. The subtle conditioning of the expectations on women pulls us out of balance, leaving us blind to the possibility of living in our natural and sacred rhythm, where our true power lies.
When we return to this rhythm and balance our yin and yang, everything works in harmony. By working with the elements as one living ecosystem, where everything is revered and interconnected, we tap into the forces that have always been available to us.
When we restore our relationship to the Yin principle, our nature of being receptive, grounded, and spacious returns. We remember who we are and what wants to be made through us. In this awakening, the sensual current within also comes alive....the pleasure of breath filling the body, the warmth of the womb, the pulse of life in our root.
This way of being restores a steady sense of purpose & balance within your internal and external worlds.
This is an invitation to rekindle a living relationship with your nature.
Return to the receptive current of Yin — where stillness grounds you, balance restores your energy, & the quiet power of nature returns you to your radiant wholeness.
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.
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
Rhythm & Surrender
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
Rasa
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.
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.
Tending to your unique feminine rhythm...
What's available for you...
The answers are already within you
- Regulate Your Nervous System: Feel yourself drop from overstimulation into steadiness. Learn to create safety inside your body so rest, clarity, and calm become your natural baseline.
- Relief from the Pressure to Perform: Sit with yourself, release the grip of constant productivity and image-management. Welcome yourself as you are.
- A Sacred Rhythm for Daily Life: Create rituals that weave Yin into the ordinary...your tea, your colors, your kitchen, how you feel in your own home. Allowing life itself to become the devotional practice.
- Emotional Flow: Instead of suppressing or managing emotions, learn how harnessing Yin creates space for feelings to move gently through, restoring balance and compassion.
- Sacred Sensuality Awakened: Reclaim the subtle pleasure of breath filling your body, the warmth of your womb, and the pulse of life alive in your root. Let creativity arise as a natural outflow of sensual presence.
- Freedom in Creativity and Expression: Rediscover joy in simple creative acts such as singing, moving, cooking, writing as a natural outflow of being at ease in yourself.
- Reconnection to the Feminine Wisdom: Remember the cyclical intelligence of rest and renewal. Align with natural rhythms and seasons so that life feels spacious, sustainable, and whole.
- A Living Relationship with the Sacred: Through your own personal practice that's designed to meet you where you're at, cultivate awareness that softens the mind and drop into your heart.

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.
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:
