Hello! I’m Shalini Sarena. I’ve spent the past decade in the wellness space, guiding yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices around the world. I’m also a mindset and embodiment coach, and I absolutely love helping people reconnect to their power, presence, and peace.

I’ve lived in many corners of the world - including Miami, London, San Francisco, LA, Mumbai, Goa, Mexico City, Medellín, and Bali - and I travel with intention, warmth, and respect. I live a very healthy lifestyle, don’t drink or smoke, and I move through the world with grounded energy and curiosity.

I speak English, Spanish, Punjabi, Hindi, and I’m currently learning Portuguese and French (and I love practicing with native speakers)!

I’m a teacher by nature, but also a lifelong student. Whether sharing breathwork, cooking a nourishing meal, or simply listening deeply, I believe in leaving every space better than I found it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Journeyed solo around the world since I was a teen, learning to trust the unknown and seeing how new connections can also feel like soul family.

What I Can Share with Hosts
