Shiva Rea

Los Angeles based Shiva Rea is a yogini firekeeper, sacred activist, global adventurer and leading innovator in the evolution of prana flow yoga: transformational vinyasa flow integrating the tantric bhakti roots of yoga, Krishnamacharya’s teachings and a universal, quantum approach to the body. Shiva is known for bringing the roots of yoga alive for modern practitioners in creative, dynamic and life-transforming ways and for offering the synthesis form of prana flow out in the world. She is the creator of Prana Flow Yoga, Yogadventure Retreats, Yoga Trance Dance for Life, Moving Activism for 1,008,000 Trees, the worldwide Global Mala Project, Yogini Conferences and E2: The Evolutionary Edge Tour. She writes for Yoga Journal and Yoga International, and has produced a wide range of award winning CDs and DVDs.

Shiva began exploring yoga at the age of 14 as a way to understand her name, given to her by her father, a surfer and artist. She has studied in the Krishnamacharya lineage, and explored Tantra, Ayurveda, Bhakti, Kalaripayattu, world dance, yogic art and somatic movement. Her studies and zest for life infuse her approach to living yoga and to ‘embodying the flow’. She founded Shiva-Shakti yoga infused clothing with the Marika Group, has served as Creative Yoga Advisor of Exhale yoga studios in California, and has taught on UCLA’s World Arts and Cultures Program.
