About

From rebuilding my own life to helping others transform theirs

Shivoham Yog is the practice of Poonam Solanki — a yoga teacher, sound healing practitioner and nutritionist. This is how it began.

My journey into wellness was never simply about yoga. It was about finding myself again.

There was a time when life looked very different. I spent thirteen years building a career in London, creating a life I thought would last forever. But life has its own plans. Through heartbreak, loss, uncertainty and the experience of starting over, I was brought face to face with the one person I had forgotten to take care of — myself.

Coming back to India during the pandemic became an unexpected turning point. I had lost things I thought defined me, but somewhere along the way I discovered something far more valuable: my own strength.

Yoga entered my life not merely as exercise, but as a way back home — to my body, my breath, my mind, and ultimately to myself. I began rebuilding emotionally, physically, mentally and financially.

Transformation isn't about becoming someone else. It is about becoming the strongest, happiest and most authentic version of who you already are.

I know what it feels like to begin again. I know what it feels like to lose your confidence and rebuild it. And I know that your body, mind and spirit can become incredibly powerful when you decide to stop abandoning yourself.

You can always begin again.

— PoonamShivoham — I am that.

Professionals finding balanceBreath and stillness that fit inside a week that is already full.
Mothers, supportedThrough pregnancy, through birth, and through the months that follow it.
People living with painSafe, mindful movement, taught by someone qualified to adapt it.

Common questions

Things people ask before they begin

How long has Poonam been teaching?

She came to yoga through her own recovery rather than through a studio, and has been teaching since completing her certification in Rishikesh. Ask her directly — she will tell you plainly rather than round the number up.

What is she actually qualified in?

600 hours of certified yoga training in Rishikesh, plus separate qualifications in sound healing, nutrition and dietetics, pre and post-natal yoga, and yoga for pain management. Five in total, across three disciplines.

Does she teach men as well?

Yes. The pages about women and mothers exist because those are the people who most often ask whether this is for them — not because anyone else is excluded.

I'm not spiritual. Will that be a problem?

No. The techniques come from a tradition and the practice itself asks nothing of your beliefs. If chanting is not for you, say so and it simply is not part of your sessions.

Why one teacher for yoga, sound and food?

Because they are one thing in practice. If your sleep, your back and your eating are connected — and they usually are — three separate practitioners each see a third of it.

How do I know if she is right for me?

Have the first conversation. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing, and most people know within ten minutes. If she is not the right fit, she will say so.

Perhaps your transformation can begin here too
