Shilpa’s journey into yoga began as an escape from the monotony of traditional workouts, but it quickly became the foundation of her life’s work. Originally a jewelry designer with a Master’s in Fine Arts from Stella Maris College, she discovered that yoga was the true gem she was meant to explore.

Trained at the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in Madurai, Shilpa immersed herself in traditional yoga before expanding into AcroYoga, becoming Chennai’s only internationally certified AcroYoga instructor. She has since led workshops across Chennai, Cochin, and Pune, sharing the joy of movement, trust, and connection.

Her passion for holistic well-being also led her to train in Thai Yoga Massage at the Sunshine Massage School in Thailand and become a certified meditation facilitator through Osho International. These practices have deepened her understanding of the body-mind connection, shaping her approach to yoga as a journey of self-discovery, trust, and healing.

As the founder of The Yogaspace, Shilpa creates a welcoming environment where students can explore yoga beyond the physical postures—cultivating balance, awareness, and inner strength. Whether through AcroYoga, Thai Yoga Massage, or traditional yoga, her teaching is infused with warmth, laughter, and a deep commitment to helping others find their flow in life.
