THe meaning of shakti souls
Shakti represents the dynamic, creative force that permeates all life, while Soul refers to the inner essence that seeks harmony and alignment.
Together, Shakti Souls embodies the journey of awakening one's inner power while aligning with the deeper wisdom and energy of the soul.
At Shakti Souls, we believe in the body as the highest form of technology for spiritual and personal growth. Through conscious movement and alignment, we encourage individuals to transform themselves, using strength as a tool for both physical wellness and deeper spiritual awakening. The name encapsulates both the personal journey and collective connection we foster through community, nature, and self-exploration.
STRENGTH IN MOTION
Speaking to the idea that strength is not static but is cultivated through continuous movement. It highlights the emphasis on physical empowerment through yoga, fitness, and embodied practices. Whether through the fluidity of yoga or the power of strength training, movement becomes a gateway to resilience, vitality, and holistic well-being. It encourages dynamic growth—both physically and mentally—through intentional practice.
SOUL IN ALIGNMENT
This speaks to the deeper purpose of Shakti Souls: guiding individuals to align their physical movements with their spiritual essence. "Soul in Alignment" symbolises the journey of self-discovery and balance, where mind, body, and spirit come into harmony. Through conscious practices such as breathwork, meditation, and retreats in nature, we invite you to connect with your inner truth and purpose, achieving a deeper sense of peace and alignment in your life.

FOUNDER OF SHAKTI SOULS
Meet Sara
Sara, an international yoga, movement, and women’s health facilitator, is the heart and soul behind Shakti Souls, a platform inspired by her personal journey of healing, passion for dance, movement, empowerment, and deep connection with nature. Growing up on the small Mediterranean island of Malta, where the ocean and sun are central to the island’s essence, Sara often found solace in nature when life felt confusing and her sense of identity seemed unclear. Nature had a magnetic pull on her, and she always knew, deep down, that one day it would all make sense.
At a time when she felt lost and uncertain about her path, Sara discovered a book on her home bookshelf that would change everything—’The Universe Has Your Back’ by Gabrielle Bernstein. Reading it ignited something profound within her, as if a chemical change was taking place inside. She describes this as her first true awakening. From that moment, her days became filled with long hikes, finding new places to immerse herself in mindset books and podcasts from the likes of Joe Dispenza and Osho. She began to feel the power of curiosity guiding her, whispering that if she followed this path of discovery, she would end up exactly where the universe intended her to be.
It was during this transformative period that yoga found her - As if orchestrated by the universe, everything began falling into place before she could even catch up. Her passion for movement, which had always been her deepest form of expression, found new meaning as she embraced yoga as both a physical and spiritual practice. Sara initially turned to yoga to heal from the chronic injuries caused by nearly 2 decades of professional dance and competitive fitness. However, it wasn’t long before she realised yoga was offering her much more than physical rehabilitation—it was awakening her soul and aligning her with her true purpose. Sara's professional journey now includes over 1,000 hours of yoga teacher training, specialising in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Meditation, with a strong focus on Somatics and Embodiment. Influenced by her mentors from all over the world as well as drawing from her qualifications and experience in personal training, fitness and dance, Sara blends these worlds together offering a curated unique approach to wellness. Her teachings are profoundly influenced by the elements, with each offering rooted in nature’s wisdom.
Her embodied approach draws from her background in professional dance as well as the element of water, encouraging fluidity, adaptability, and flow in her yoga classes and retreats. The fire element fuels her strength-based fitness offerings, guiding students through deep, transformative practices with guided tutorials and dynamic movement.The earth element grounds her curated retreats, held in eco-friendly locations, encouraging participants to reconnect with the earth and their true essence. Her women’s health mentorships are inspired by the element of air, offering support, empowerment, and guidance for hormonal balance, cyclical living, and healing from within. Finally, her meditation and pranayama practices are aligned with the element of space, encouraging expansion, stillness, and connection to the infinite.
Sara’s holistic approach extends beyond the physical. Having navigated her own health challenges, including , hormone imbalances, ENDO, PCOS and chronic pain, she turned to yoga, cyclical living, and fasting to heal herself. Frustrated by misdiagnoses and ineffective treatments, Sara immersed herself in learning about women’s health and became her own best healer. Today, she shares her knowledge through Shakti Souls, offering mentorship and courses specifically designed to help women reclaim their health and well-being.
Now residing in Bali, Sara is a core teacher at Alchemy Yoga & Meditation Centre and The Istana in Uluwatu where she shares her passion for movement, healing, and empowerment both in-person and online through Shakti Souls. Her mission is to bring individuals back to their elemental roots, offering a shared community space for people seeking to heal and expand their life experience from the inside out. Sara’s teachings, retreats, and mentorships aim to preserve ancient wisdom, honour the elements, and blend modern techniques to guide participants toward profound awareness, growth, and alignment in body, mind, and soul.
