Soma Sanctuary was born from a shared journey of healing, devotion, and the deep desire to help others reconnect with their own inner wisdom.

Together, Shari and Govi weave breath, sound, organic movement, yogic and nourishment practices into experiences that support transformation from the inside out.

Shari brings over 3 decades of lived experience in recovery, and decades of work with Transformational Breath®, yoga, nutrition, and a multitude of other healing pathways. Her own path—moving through life-changing experiences, including cancer and the physical and emotional rebuild that followed—gives her a rare depth of compassion and clarity.

As a Transformational Breath trainer, she guides people to rediscover their natural healing intelligence through conscious breathing, sound, and presence. Shari’s energy is grounding, wise, and loving. Many people describe her as someone who helps them “come home to themselves.”

Govi’s path began with yogic training, sacred sound, and a deep pull toward inner exploration. Over time, his practice evolved into a blend of mantra, and sound-based healing using instruments such as monochords, drums, chimes, and voice.

He offers a unique form of Thai-inspired assisted yoga and breath-supported bodywork , combined with vibration and sound to invite relaxation, openness, and energetic flow. His intention is always to help people access stillness—where the body and mind naturally begin to restore balance.

A Shared Vision

Together, Shari and Govi combine their gifts in sessions, workshops, and retreats. Their work is rooted in:

Breath as the bridge between body and spirit

Sound (vibration) as medicine

Sacred space as the container for transformation

Community as a reflection of our shared humanity

Whether you’re seeking emotional release, nervous-system regulation, clarity of purpose, to feel more comfortable in your body or simply a moment of deep rest, Soma Sanctuary offers a space to reconnect with your own inner healing power.

Shari and Govi feel called to share what has been of value on their journeys, and they have been doing this synergistic work together for over 10 years. Their approach is not about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back to the wisdom you have always carried within.

Here, every breath, every vibration, every moment of presence is an invitation to return to yourself.
