Shivani Priyam’s life is a story of transformation. Once chasing headlines as a journalist, today she guides people toward healing as a yoga teacher, wellness entrepreneur, and award-winning author. Her path beautifully connects social service, storytelling, and the pursuit of conscious living.
Her journey began in college, where she actively volunteered with NGOs such as Youth for Seva, ADORE, Bhumi, and the UNFCCC. Working at the grassroots level on education, sanitation, health, and environmental issues gave her an early sense of empathy and responsibility. Those experiences became the foundation of her purpose-driven life.
In 2020, Shivani earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Journalism and stepped into the media world. She worked with The Weather Channel, The Times of India, Jagran New Media, Tark Sangat, and Network 18, reporting on civic challenges, health, and the environment. One assignment that left a lasting mark was covering the floods in North Karnataka during her final semester. Witnessing loss and resilience up close, she realized that true impact goes far beyond headlines.
The pandemic became a turning point. Seeing how stress and poor lifestyle choices were affecting people’s health, Shivani turned inward and discovered yoga. She completed a 200-hour Teacher Training Program at the Sri Sri School of Yoga under the Art of Living Foundation and soon launched her own wellness space—Gatherings with Gurudev.
At her studio, she teaches Patanjali-based yoga, including asanas, pranayama, meditation, and Yoga Nidra. Her sessions attract people across age groups, especially those dealing with anxiety, lifestyle disorders, and burnout. Participants often share that they sleep better, focus more, and feel lighter after joining her classes. For Shivani, wellness is not a passing trend—it is a lifestyle that radiates strength and balance. She now plans to integrate Ayurveda into her programs and dreams of offering free yoga therapy to underprivileged communities.
Alongside her wellness work, Shivani also continues to write. Her debut book, THE SILENT LAUDER – Whirring Amusing Tales, has won multiple honors, including the 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award, the India Icon Award 2025, and the International Excellence Award 2025.
Today, Shivani Priyam stands as an inspiring example of how one can turn a career in headlines into a journey of healing—using yoga, writing, and compassion to help others discover their healthiest and happiest selves.
