Studio Shakti

Hey there, My name is Colleen

Boho Fashionista

Designer

Yoga Teacher

Jetsetter

I found my love for branding and web design when I started my first brand and blog Mind Body Colleen. I loved using digital tools to express my creativity to build my online presence. Time would fly by when I was designing and it always brought me so much effortless joy. 

Actually, let me back track.  That was my first time designing in the digital space professionally —  but I can still remember when I was 12 and friends would call my home phone to ask for help designing their Xanga or MySpace. Yes, I had stylish online platforms back then too.

My first brand felt like I had styled the ultimate staple outfit and I was always ecstatic to go show it off to the world. It felt like a perfect expression of me.  I think we can all agree, it feels pretty damn good to feel like your true self.

The brand did more for me than just offer some pretty visuals. It brought me clarity and confidence in so many other aspects of my life, as well. Once I committed to my voice, mission, messaging, and style I was able to get more intentional with who I am and what I give my energy to.

I had a lot of success from creating a strong and consistent brand. From growing my audience, to landing brand collaborations, to getting hired for modeling gigs, to getting my work published in magazines. All of these were possible because I had a clear, consistent, trustable, and visually appealing personal brand.

Branding was such a gift in my life and that’s why I started Studio Shakti.  So I can give the same gift to you.

Where did the name come from?

“

In 2018 I went on a pilgrimage to India. In Rishikesh, I completed my 300hour yoga teacher training at Ananda Prakash Ashram. During this experience I received my spiritual name, Shakti Devi, from my teacher Yogirishi Vishvketu. Shakti Devi refers to Hindu goddess of creativity, power, femininity, and change. The development of Studio Shakti has allowed me to step into my creative self and share my gifts with the world.

Emotions stay energetically trapped in our bodies until it’s been given the space to process. 🌀

The stagnancy of it creates a block in your system. 

Stuck emotional information manifests as chronic pain, fatigue, diseases of all sorts, mental illness, etc. 

But it doesn’t take very long to start to clear these blockages and reside out of the body. 

Actually, it can process surprisingly quickly if you have the tools, support, and education to work with it.... (+ that’s essentially what you get in a session with me 😉 )

I get asked often how I got into Kundalini… 

It’s a long whimsical story of all the ways the teachers showed up and the steps were laid out for me. 

But the nitty-gritty of what happened was that I was practicing yoga for 10 years, and teaching for 5, I read all the self-help books, had many mindful practices, and voyaged through a few different spiritual pilgrimages around the world. 

After all that I came to this point where I thought this would all be working a bit more than it.

Frustration was my default emotion. I would be so self-critical. I struggled with expressing myself, knowing my worth, and relating to others.

I realized I couldn’t just yoga my way out of all of it. 

So I decided to let go of all my practices and teachings. The day I really accepted it was time to move on, was the same day I found my first kundalini teacher. 

When I started working with Kundalini and realized I could start to clear the energies that held these emotions and patterns out. I could use different body practices and meditations to reprogram my subconscious mind. 

With this things started to change for me…. 

My inner world was becoming a more beautiful place. My body started to come alive. People become responding to me differently. The scenarios I found myself in weren’t so hard all the time. 

My desire and devotion for it came through seamlessly because I was getting high-speed results. Finally. 

The more it transformed me, the more it gave me no choice but to — share it and open others up to the grace, radiance, and purification it has brought me. 🕊⚡️🕯✨

As Kundalini begins to rise it naturally starts to purify your system and open your energy channels.
 
The amount of awareness and sensitivity in the body increase. Any numbness or disconnection starts to fade away. 

You start to come into your body. 

You start to come into your pleasure and sensuality. 

You start to experience a new spectrum of aliveness. 

And for me it’s so special to support my clients as they go through their own personal journeys of this.

For the next 24 hours, you can purchase my Kundalini Yoga Course for $50. 💸

This is a crash course on everything you need to know to start safely and confidently practicing Kundalini Yoga. 

I created this course because there are not many places to learn the basics of Kundalini Yoga. When you go to a class they don’t explain or workshop any of the fundamentals… the only place you really learn this is when you take a teacher training, which is not very accessible.

The link is in my bio use code “FLASHSALE50” at the checkout. 🪷 🫶🏼📿

Anytime I lay back, close my eyes, and connect to Kundalini Shakti — this is how it looks. 

The shakti comes through my crown… spontaneously my body dances, my hands go into a mudra, and sometimes I even start singing different tones. (This different from my light language.)

It hasn’t always been like this. My process has only matured this way in the last 4 or 5 months. It’s taken a lot purification my system for the shakti to decide to harmoniously express like this through me. 

————————————————————-

Note: This is just to document my personal evolution and how I connect to the subtleties running through my body. 

This isn’t really an example of what happens in my client sessions.

Sometimes I rewatch this video + I judge myself hard…. 

I’m like dear god I am too cute and girly looking… no one will ever take me seriously and think that I am also powerful, wise, strong, and capable. 

One of my previous teachers actually told me I am too young to offer the type of work that I do. People who book these types of sessions for support and release would work with someone with more that looks like they have more life experience. 

It was hurtful. 
 
Because my true essence does have that sweet innocent feminine sparkle to it. You see it in my face and feel it when I speak. 

But I have been trying to tone down the look a bit last few months so it doesn’t conflict with people’s trust in me to take them on deep intimate journeys to unblock their bodies.
