Meet your guide.

Middle Way Activism provides a comprehensive vision of yoga as social healing for the current cultural climate and beyond.
Compliments from a few STFs (student-teacher-friends).
The vast breadth and depth of Shakti’s wisdom and knowledge is perfectly matched and balanced by her expansive heart. She uses psychology and myth, holistic wisdom, experience, and the ancient texts and stories of yoga to infuse all of her teachings. She possesses a profound understanding of life and living as well as of death and dying. Shakti is thoughtful, spiritual, and sage. She teaches with grace from the depth of her own eternal light and shines it radiantly on everyone she meets. She IS Inner Power. She is love. I am continually grateful for the fortune that brought her into my life. It will be a lifelong connection.

My experience of Shakti cannot fully be put into words. I’m always left with a profound sense of being loved, included, ‘up-leveled’ and empowered whenever I work with her. She not only is an amazing wealth of knowledge, she also embodies the depth of yoga and lives it in all aspects of her life. She has cultivated an exquisite capacity to lead, relate, and transmit the wisdom of her studies through living it, living in integrity with it and walking the path through her life experience. She is a true diamond in today’s evolving world and human consciousness.
Thomas Radtke | Sedona AZ
Being a student of Shakti’s for more than ten years has given me the tools I need to face my shadows and expose my true light. Her innate wisdom to teach from the heart coupled with her genuine love of teaching, constantly inspires me to want to live my life from its highest potential as authentically as I can. Her gift and ability to share through storytelling makes learning from her a unique privilege unlike any other student/teacher experience. 
Colleen Rose | Miramar Lake FL
Studying under Shakti was an amazing spiritual awakening! She is the most studied individual I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She empowered each of us to find our own path as an instructor by educating us with science-based information. I am more then prepared to lead others to the wonderful path of yoga! 
Traci Rocho | Angola IN
Shakti has this unique joyously maternal intensity that provides a balance rare in practice. She is generously gentle and powerful in equal measure, teasing students to stretch their tolerance for the sweet and the hidden aspects of themselves. As she guides you through class, she leads you on a journey colored with myth, tantra, science, love, and likely many giggles—and you follow her every step of the way. She is the teacher who reminds you of your true nature and reflects that back to you: she offers you an experience of yourself as love...and patiently waits for you to take it.
Gretchen Fruchey | Fort Wayne IN
My life began feeling quite different after my first experience with Shakti, her energy and teachings are ones I will take with me all through life.  I learned the modality  of  love from Shakti and if we are going to change the hearts of others then we have to be the embodiment of love.  In a world desperately seeking love,  Shakti has managed  to be an effortless and endless wellspring  for others and herself.  I am forever grateful to not only be student but as Shakti says “a student/teacher/friend
Casey McVay | Crested Butte CO
Shakti is the kind of teacher you can practice and study with time and time again. Her unique transmissions encompass a multitude of layers. She is infinitely interesting and interested. In just one encounter, you’ll feel enriched and the teachings, the breadth she is capable of imprinting, will continue to expand and reveal itself for many moments to come.
