Shakya – Educator | Storyteller | Qi Gong Facilitator With over two decades of experience in movement, breathwork, and internal arts, Shakya brings an original fusion of knowledge, discipline, and cultural fluency to his practice. Rooted in Taoist teachings and shaped by a global upbringing—from Abu Dhabi to Sri Lanka to Vancouver—he shares an approach that blends strength with presence, and ancient practice with modern relevance. Having apprenticed in Taoist water-path teachings and practices for seven years, Shakya weaves martial arts, meditation, and subtle energy work into dynamic, embodied experiences. At Shambhala, he invites you to step into Warrior Qi Gong and Transformational Qi Gong—powerful practices that awaken inner resilience, clarity, and spirit. These sessions are an invitation to reconnect with the body as a vessel for spirit, cultivating a strong foundation for spiritual evolution. A bridge between worlds—East and West, ancient and modern—Shakya’s work brings movement as medicine and breath as prayer. Whether cultivating in the mountains or serving tea by the river, his purpose remains the same: to help people move, heal, and thrive with ease and grace.
