Move well. Breathe deeply. Come as you are.

Hi, I'm Shiv. I teach club and mace swinging, breathwork and yoga with a gentle, unhurried approach, drawing on 15 years in the practice. Private sessions, small groups and online, for every body and every level.

Strength you can swing. Calm you can carry.

I've trained with Indian clubs and steel maces for about 15 years. Swinging them taught me more about how the body is meant to move than any machine in a gym.

I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2014 and have taught yoga, meditation and breathwork, along with seminars on holistic health and yogic lifestyle. After a few years away from teaching, I'm bringing it all back here in Vienna.

What I teach

Every session starts where you are, at your pace. Beginners are warmly welcome, and nothing here requires experience.

Club & Mace Flow

Swinging practice that builds shoulder mobility, grip, coordination and a strong, supple back. We start light and build gradually.

Breath & Meditation

Simple breathing and meditation practices to settle the nervous system and sharpen your focus, in a session or on their own.

Yoga

Alignment-minded practice that pairs well with swinging work and gives you tools to take home.

Workshops & Seminars

Talks and hands-on sessions on holistic health and yogic lifestyle for groups, studios and workplaces.
