I’m trained in feminine sensual somatics, womb awakening, and craniosacral therapy, with a deep commitment to the spiritual path of Advaita Vedanta.

I’ve also studied Yoga Nidra, yoga therapy, and compassionate inquiry with Gabor Maté, along with hundreds of hours of yoga practice.

I’m the mother of a two-year-old wonder girl, and together with my beloved man, we live between our retreat centre, Shambala Gatherings, in the Swedish forest and Järna.

I’ve spent the last 16 years learning how to slow down and truly feel myself, and I’m deeply passionate about sharing feminine sensual somatic work with women, because I believe it's the missing piece for modern women to find a deeply intimate, sensuous relationship with themselves.

My life is dedicated to creating safe spaces for women to slow down and come in contact with their sensual being, to recognize that life can be filled with pleasure and profound self-intimacy once we learn to truly feel ourselves and become embodied.

I can't wait to share this path with you.

The Durgā Devī Sādhana / Day 3

On this third day, we will once again invoke the blessings of Goddess Durgā and explore another universal values that can serve as a guiding thread in your life, helping you reclaim your inner power.

We will offer our third Vedic Puja ritual together. You can either join me in spirit as I perform the Puja, or have your own altar prepared with offerings from the Navaratri Guide to actively participate in the ritual.

Either way, the most important thing is to come as you are. Participating in the Puja is optional—simply being present with an open heart during these midday sessions will offer you profound benefits.

Amir will share a short but very powerful sequence of Kundalini Yoga to cultivate both Neutrality and Equilibrium that will create a comfortable seat in the temple body, stable emotions along with a clear, calm and fully present state of Awareness.

Amir's fascination in the White Tantric Temple Arts began over 30 years ago. These are energetic practices that establish, strengthen, and sustain optimum health;  Physical, mental, and emotional. 

Amir's years of teaching with the general public, charities supporting people in recovery, young offenders, and private consultations for those with particular and/or special needs, have contributed to both the depth and breadth of his knowledge and experience.

The practices are both experimental and experiential that produce a practical and functional toolkit to help mitigate the stress and tension of modern day life. As well as invites the practitioner into the process of self enquiry and self investigation.  It is a practice that is simple, achievable, sustainable, and effective. It is important to Amir that his classes are accessible and available for everyone regardless of tradition, experience, age, and physical ability.

Amir's ongoing inquiry and investigation into the science of physical and spiritual anatomy and the way they work together have led him to develop a fusion of yoga practices that are classical yet very contemporary and adaptable. These incorporate exquisite music and cross- pollinate complementary practices from a variety of wisdom traditions.

"This session offers an introduction to the foundational elements of Dhrupad music, focusing on the interplay between rhythm (tala), melody (raga), and vocal resonance. Through live demonstrations and interactive discussions, I will break down the techniques that create the hypnotic and powerful experience of Dhrupad, allowing participants to appreciate and connect with this ancient musical form on a deeper level."

Born in 1977 and raised in Rewa, I completed my studies in Rewa and Bhopal. I grew up in a musical family. My grandfather, Khania Lal Bandhavi, was a Dhrupad singer of the Shadhu Baba Gharana and performed at the court in Rewa, M.P., for twenty years. He was honored with the title "Bandhavi" by the emperor. Since the age of ten, my grandfather taught me Dhrupad.

In addition to my vocal training, I also learned tabla playing with the Bhatta Gharana for two years. After my grandfather's death in 1994, my father sent me to study with the Dhrupad legend Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar in Bhopal. Later, I continued my studies with the Gundecha Brothers in Bhopal.

I began my performing career in 1992, and in 2010, I started my international performing career. My musical skills lie in my ability to stay in sur (pitch) and my extraordinary talent for laya (tempo) and tal (rhythm). Jhala (fast rhythm) and Uppaj (improvisation of the Bandish) are my specialties. Additionally, my voice allows me to sing in both upper and lower ranges.

Alongside my Dhrupad career, I also pursued an academic education in commerce and computer science.
