1:1 Programs
Shava Mentorship Program
Personalised Tools. Deeper Self-Knowledge. Self-Generated Freedom.
Your life is unique. Your practice should be, too.
The Shava Mentorship Program is an individualised, sixteen-week journey into the art of living well — bringing the wisdom of Tantra, Yoga and Ayurveda into direct relationship with your body, mind, energy and everyday life.
Through personalised guidance, practical tools and consistent one-to-one support, we work together to understand your individual constitution, recognise the patterns shaping your experience, and develop practices that genuinely serve your needs. Whether you are navigating a period of change, seeking greater physical and emotional vitality, deepening your spiritual practice or simply wanting to live with greater clarity and intention, this is an opportunity to move beyond generalised advice and discover what works for you.
Facilitated by Phillida Bartik or Jesse Alexander, each mentorship draws on more than 15 years of lived experience, dedicated study and applied practice. Integrating Ayurvedic lifestyle principles, Yogic Asana and Pranayama, Tantric Meditation and Philosophy, and Somatic approaches, your program is shaped around your individual nature, circumstances and aspirations.
This is not about prescribing another ideal to live up to. It is about developing the knowledge, discernment and practical capacity to meet your life as it is — and to participate in it with greater freedom.
At the heart of this work is Svātantrya: self-generated freedom. The capacity to understand yourself more deeply, respond to life with greater awareness, and cultivate the inner resources to navigate change with resilience, adaptability and agency.
The result is a personalised body of knowledge and practice you can continue to draw upon long after our time together.

Location
Over the years, we have found that some of the most meaningful work happens in individualised spaces.
Away from the group. Away from the performance of wellness.
Tantra, Ayurveda and Yoga are traditionally facilitated in a 1:1 setting, in order to serve an individual’s unique needs. In honouring this tradition, our 1:1 consultations create a private container for conversational assessment, precise guidance, and personalised practices that meet you exactly where you are.
Our Shava Yoga Mentorship Program is created for your individual needs, which includes where and how it is most beneficial for you to connect to this offering.
In the quiet space of an honest conversation, a consistent practice and the willingness to look more closely at how we are actually living we discover our unique dynamism with life and interpret and then harness what specifically serves our capacity development and experience of freedom.
Our online portal will become available to you, once you have booked in, for you to access on demand for 16 weeks.
(8 weeks of individualised support with Shava + 8 weeks applied self-guided study).
We have designed this as a space for sustained, individual exploration through the integrated lens of Tantra, Yoga and Ayurveda.
Location Options: Online or In-Person as per availability.
Available with Phillida or Jesse.

The Value of 1:1 Mentorship
Develop the knowledge, tools and personal capacity to meet life with greater freedom, vitality and discernment. The aim is not dependence on a teacher, a method or a system. It is the cultivation of your own capacity to understand, navigate and participate in life with greater freedom.

Personal Sovereignty — Cultivate greater autonomy, agency and freedom in how you live, respond and choose.
Structure & Stability — Establish supportive routines, sustainable habits and a clear pathway for practice.
Vitality & Resilience — Support physical strength, flexibility, energy and adaptability through informed lifestyle practices.
Emotional & Mental Agility — Develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, reflective capacity and flexibility in thought and response.
Rhythmic Living — Align daily routines with circadian rhythms, sleep needs and Ayurvedic principles.
Practical Life Skills — Build confidence in algorithmic cooking, Ayurvedic recipes, sleep support and the application of personalised lifestyle practices.
Clarity & Discernment — Navigate complexity, make decisions with greater confidence and recognise the patterns shaping your experience.
Wisdom Through Change — Draw on time-tested teachings and practical tools to meet uncertainty, challenge and crisis with greater steadiness and grace.
Spiritual Depth — Deepen your relationship with yourself, your practice and the nature of your experience.
Inner Freedom & Wellbeing — Cultivate greater peace, joy and a more conscious relationship with life.
Personal Alchemy — Transform life's challenges into opportunities for insight, growth and nourishment.
A Personalised Framework for Living — Develop practical systems, methods and pathways for navigating the many dimensions of the human experience with greater awareness and skill.
Knowledge becomes practice. Practice becomes discernment. Discernment becomes freedom.
