YOUR STARTING POINT

You do not have to have it all figured out.

Clarity can grow. One step at a time.

You do not need to know where to go next. Start by arriving as you are.

Breath, movement and reflection help you notice what you need and what matters to you.

Over time, find your next step with personal mentoring and support from other fathers.

Father and child as an image of connection across generations

Your history is a starting point.
Your next step is yours.

WHAT YOU BRING WITH YOU

You are a father.
And you were once a child.

Sometimes a moment today touches something older than the current conflict. Perhaps you know the feeling of having to fight, withdraw or earn closeness.

Even without separation, fatherhood can touch your own experiences of closeness, absence, criticism or overwhelm. Not every difficult experience is trauma. What you have lived through still deserves attention.

What was missing then was not your responsibility as a child. Today, you can accept support, understand your responses and practise different ways of relating to your child. You do not have to become a perfect father.

How we make room for your history

YOUR ROOM TO ACT

You cannot control everything.
But you can do much:

Notice.

What is here right now? Your small room to act.

Before trying to solve anything: feel your feet on the ground. Name one feeling and one thing you need right now.

Meet your guide

Choose.

A moment before your response. Your small room to act.

When the next message hits you: read it, take one comfortable breath and ask which response serves your child and your values. You do not have to react immediately.

Meet your guide

Shape.

Ten minutes just for you two. Your small room to act.

Put your phone away and let your child choose what to do. Be fully there. If you are apart: agree on a small, dependable moment to connect.

YOUR GUIDE

Father. Yogi. Coach.
With a story of his own.

Yoga teacher · 800 hours trainingHealth coachSports teacherCommunications managerCopywriter & commercial model

I’m a father and yoga teacher. Questions about closeness, responsibility and finding your own way are part of my own life and co-parenting experience. SHIVA SHIFT connects that experience with a practice that begins in the body and carries into daily life.

I have been developing my path as a yoga teacher since 2019. Hatha, Vinyasa, Kundalini and Yin Yoga sit alongside meditation and breathwork. My 800 hours of yoga teacher training are complemented by sports studies and teaching sport at an alternative school.

Read more

As a communications manager, former copywriter and commercial model, I also know creative work and the question of how much of ourselves remains visible behind a role. My work is not about a perfect image of masculinity. It is about attentive connection, agency and a next step that feels right.

Your child’s well-being, shared responsibility and respect guide our work. Every practice is optional. Coaching does not replace therapy.

Explore my experience & storyExplore the program
Why I founded SHIVA SHIFT

I’m Sashiva. As a father, I wanted a space that connected my questions: my relationship with my child, my body, my history and my everyday choices. I missed a form of support that brought these experiences together. That is why I created SHIVA SHIFT.

The program draws on my personal experiences with therapy, yoga, bodywork, inner work, breathwork and plant medicine. This describes my own journey, not a clinical qualification or proof of treatment effectiveness. Plant medicine is not a requirement for participation.

My approach brings together body practice, coaching, shared conversation among fathers and personal support through change. I aim to stand alongside fathers in challenging phases of life with attention, experience and practical prompts, to the best of my knowledge and ability. We explore together what fits each person.

WHAT TO EXPECT

More than talking about change.

Body-based practice is our starting point. Breath, awareness, honest reflection and community come together as a practice for daily life, with room for both strength and vulnerability.*

Illustrative practice imageEXPLORE THE PRACTICECome back to your body. Feel more at home in yourself.Read more

Come back to your body. Feel more at home in yourself.

Your body is more than something that has to perform. It is also where you can notice tension, fatigue, limits and vitality. Yoga, mindful movement and simple somatic exercises form a central part of our shared practice.

We start accessibly and build gradually. Hatha, Vinyasa, Kundalini and Yin offer different approaches, from movement and alignment to quieter holds. You do not need to be flexible or demonstrate anything. A smaller movement or a pause is a valid choice.

EXAMPLES FROM THE PRACTICE

  • Body awareness and contact with the ground
  • Accessible yoga and movement sequences
  • Noticing limits and building your own practice
Illustrative practice imageEXPLORE THE PRACTICEYour breath. More room to respond.Read more

Your breath. More room to respond.

You explore how breathing feels in different situations. Gentle awareness, guided breathing practices and periods of rest can become part of your personal toolkit. The aim is not the most intense experience, but an approach that fits you.

Some people connect breathwork with spiritual meaning or a shift in perspective. There is room for that without expecting or guaranteeing a particular experience. More intensive practices require a separate conversation about suitability, boundaries and support; they are not the same as the short exercise on this page.

EXAMPLES FROM THE PRACTICE

  • Noticing your own breathing
  • Gentle regulation and intentional pauses
  • Reflecting on and integrating experiences
Illustrative practice imageEXPLORE THE PRACTICETrain your attention. Be more fully here.Read more

Train your attention. Be more fully here.

Mindfulness here means paying closer attention to your experience. Awareness also means recognising habits, inner commentary and automatic responses. Meditation is not a competition to switch off your thoughts.

We use guided attention, quiet moments and restorative practice. Your eyes can stay open. If turning inward feels uncomfortable, you can orient to the room, move or pause. Your feedback matters more than an idealised picture of meditation.

EXAMPLES FROM THE PRACTICE

  • Observing attention and thoughts
  • Meditation and guided rest
  • Presence in time with your child
Illustrative practice imageEXPLORE THE PRACTICEQuestion the roles. Find your own expression.Read more

Question the roles. Find your own expression.

Archetypes are images to reflect with, not diagnoses or templates for correct masculinity. We explore qualities such as care, clarity, courage and creativity. Each can help or become distorted: clarity can turn into control, care into abandoning your own needs.

Shadow work means looking honestly at what you would rather not notice: avoidance, harshness, seeking approval or believing you must carry everything alone. It is an invitation to reflection, not a shaming verdict.

EXAMPLES FROM THE PRACTICE

  • Archetypes as flexible reflection tools
  • Shadow sides and role expectations
  • Boundaries, values and responsible self-leadership
Illustrative practice imageEXPLORE THE PRACTICEUnderstand relationships. Find new ways to connect.Read more

Understand relationships. Find new ways to connect.

We look at how you experience closeness, distance, conflict and needs. Attachment patterns are prompts for discussion, not fixed labels for you, your child or other people in your life.

Terms such as inner child, father wound or mother wound invite questions about early experiences and present needs. Nobody has to disclose memories or relive distressing events. Attachment wounds and trauma can be acknowledged, but their treatment is not something this coaching promises.

EXAMPLES FROM THE PRACTICE

  • Closeness, distance and attachment patterns
  • Inner-child reflection and personal history
  • Communication, conflict and reconnection
Illustrative practice imageEXPLORE THE PRACTICEYou do not have to do it alone. Keep growing together.Read more

You do not have to do it alone. Keep growing together.

You meet fathers who do not need the same life story to take you seriously. Listening, sharing and choosing silence can sit alongside each other. This is not a competition to appear especially deep or especially strong.

Body-based practice and self-regulation remain personal experiences; community can offer additional support and co-regulation. We discuss boundaries, respectful interaction and what you choose to share. A group is not a substitute for individual therapeutic support.

EXAMPLES FROM THE PRACTICE

  • Father circles and respectful conversation
  • Support, boundaries and voluntary sharing
  • Forum, network and integration
Illustrative practice imageEXPLORE THE PRACTICEPlant traditions. Make informed choices.Read more

Plant traditions. Make informed choices.

Plant medicine is not a blanket term for harmless or automatically suitable substances. We look at the meanings of plant traditions in different contexts and the expectations attached to them. Information is not the same as a recommendation to use something.

Taking part in the program does not require substance use. The content of each cohort is clarified before booking. This page promises no specific applications or supplies and recommends no doses, self-medication or healing effects.

EXAMPLES FROM THE PRACTICE

  • Cultural context and personal expectations
  • Choice, boundaries and informed questions
  • Distinguishing reflection from treatment or self-medication
Illustrative practice imageEXPLORE THE PRACTICEEnergy work. Explore your experience.Read more

Energy work. Explore your experience.

Energy healing and energy work mean different things to different people. Guided body awareness, meditation and intentional periods of rest may have a place in the program. We name the actual practice and explore whether it feels appropriate for you.

This is an experiential, spiritual approach, not a scientifically established healing treatment. It does not replace medical or psychological care. You can opt out at any point; no special sensation or worldview is expected.

EXAMPLES FROM THE PRACTICE

  • Guided body awareness and inner attention
  • Optional meditation and spiritual reflection
  • Making sense of experiences in daily life

SHIVA SHIFT offers non-clinical coaching, support through personal change and self-exploration. It is not medical or psychotherapeutic treatment and does not replace assessment or necessary therapy. Individual outcomes are not guaranteed. Scope in detail

UNDERSTAND THE WORK

Practise together. Connect honestly.

Online sessions: twice a week, around 2½ hours each. Movement, breathwork, meditation and reflection form a shared rhythm.*

Bring your current situation. Together, explore what supports you, where you meet limits and which response you want to practise in daily life. You decide how much to share; each exercise can be adapted.

Father circle: a separate space for listening, experience and support. You can also join without taking the program.

YOUR HISTORY. YOUR CHOICES TODAY.

Understand what shaped you.
Practise what you want to pass on.

We connect reflection on your history, archetypes and inner-child work with mindful body practice. We begin with your experience today, at your pace and within your boundaries.

  1. 01

    Notice

    What is happening within you? Tension, withdrawal, anger or a wish for recognition can first be noticed.

  2. 02

    Understand

    What need or familiar protective pattern might be involved? We explore connections without defining you by your past.

  3. 03

    Respond differently

    Feel the ground, name a boundary, agree a pause, reconnect: insight takes a practical form in everyday life.

Father and mother wounds

Here these words describe painful experiences with important caregivers, such as missing support, criticism or conditional closeness. We also notice what sustained you. These are not diagnoses or blanket judgments of parents. The focus is what you need and can influence today.

Inner-child work and needs

The inner child is a way of describing early feelings and needs that may still resonate today. Optional reflection, journaling and a kinder inner conversation help you explore what you need. You do not have to retrieve memories, disclose anything or forgive anyone.

Archetypes and protective patterns

Warrior, King, Lover and Magician are flexible images for courage and boundaries, responsibility, connection and insight. We explore helpful and difficult expressions: when does protection become harshness, leadership become control or withdrawal become the only response? The aim is more choice, rather than fixed masculine roles.

Presence, mistakes and reconnection

You can reconnect with your child after a difficult moment: listen, take responsibility for your behaviour and offer an appropriate apology. Your child does not have to comfort you or carry your history. Presence grows through many small, repeated moments.

Body-based work here means noticing sensations, finding orientation and support, and trying new responses. SHIVA SHIFT offers coaching and self-exploration, not psychotherapy or trauma treatment. We do not promise to release trauma from the body or close parental wounds in nine weeks. Distressing experiences do not have to be relived. We discuss personally whether this setting fits you or whether therapeutic support would be more appropriate.

AN EVERYDAY EXAMPLE

The next handover.

A message creates tension. You notice it, take a short pause and clarify what matters. Then respond in a way that keeps the next handover dependable for your child. These are the personal steps we can reflect on together.

Completing the journey together.

After modules 1 and 2, a shared online wrap-up day closes each stage. After all three modules, the optional retreat is planned as a shared completion. There is no half-time retreat. Wrap-up dates are confirmed with the cohort.

Find your footing. In everyday life.

Learn to notice your stress signals and pause before acting.

Challenge: name one thing that gives you strength today, and make time for it.

Direct your strength. Respond consciously.

Explore needs, boundaries and recurring patterns, then develop practical responses of your own.

Challenge: choose a recurring situation. Which response reflects your values?

THE PRACTICE BEHIND THE MODULES

Men’s work. For everyday fatherhood.

Self-regulation, agency and stress resilience are not just topics to talk about.

The practice in detail

Yoga and somatic movement provide a physical foundation. Breathwork and meditation develop awareness. Reflection and conversation connect these experiences with your relationships and decisions.

Archetypes, attachment patterns and inner-child reflection offer perspectives for exploring your story. The aim is not to fix you. It is to act with greater awareness and responsibility, with clear boundaries and room to be vulnerable. We call this shared path Sacred Fatherhood.

Explore all nine weeks

MODULE 1 / SPRING & AUTUMN

Arrive. Find your footing.

WEEK 1

Starting point & direction

What's happening now — and what would you like to change?

Look at your current situation, your time with your child and the areas that drain your energy. A personal vision board makes your wishes visible and turns them into achievable steps.

In your everyday lifeWrite down what matters to you as a father and where you want to begin this week.

Practice outline: around 45 minutes of yoga within a 150-minute session. Practices and duration adapt to the group.

Your starting point can include your own upbringing: what care did you experience, what was missing, and what would you like to offer your child? You choose what to share.

Starting point & vision — Understand your starting point and turn self-efficacy into practical steps.

WEEK 2

Regulation & relief

A pause between stimulus and response.

Learn to notice tension sooner. Conscious breathing, gentle movement and body awareness become practical tools you can use even between appointments.

In your everyday lifePractice a brief pause before sending a message or having a difficult conversation.

Practice outline: around 50 minutes of yoga within a 150-minute session. Practices and duration adapt to the group.

We explore early signs of tension and small ways to orient to the present. This creates room to notice withdrawal, harshness or the pressure to keep performing.

Regulation & resilience — Recognise stress signals, respond calmly and build support.

WEEK 3

Body & consistent practice

Give stability a daily form.

Individual exercises become a manageable practice. Yoga and movement are adapted to your experience and circumstances. Notice what actually helps you rather than chasing an ideal.

In your everyday lifeChoose a small, regular time for movement or rest.

Practice outline: around 60 minutes of yoga within a 150-minute session. Practices and duration adapt to the group.

Body & strength — Body practice as a reliable foundation for fatherhood.

MODULE 2 / SPRING & AUTUMN

Understand. Recognize patterns.

WEEK 4

Patterns & role models

What story do you tell yourself about yourself?

Explore the expectations you hold about men, fathers and yourself. Archetypes are used as prompts for reflection. Your own experience remains the starting point; rigid ideals of masculinity do not dictate the answers.

In your everyday lifeWrite down a belief that puts you under pressure and a more helpful alternative.

Practice outline: around 70 minutes of yoga within a 150-minute session. Practices and duration adapt to the group.

Father and mother wounds, inner-child reflection and inherited roles have an explicit place here. Archetypes such as Warrior, King, Lover and Magician help us explore protection, responsibility, connection and insight as flexible qualities. We ask what once protected you and what you would like to approach differently today.

Archetypes & men’s work — Explore roles, develop strengths and take conscious responsibility.

WEEK 5

Attention & inner calm

Be present without having to fix everything immediately.

Deepen mindfulness and meditation. Guided rest practices and Yoga Nidra create space to notice your thoughts and slow everyday life down for a moment.

In your everyday lifeGive a shared moment with your child your undivided attention.

Practice outline: around 80 minutes of yoga within a 150-minute session. Practices and duration adapt to the group.

Inner-child reflection can mean meeting a present feeling with kindness and naming a need behind it. We stay with what feels manageable now; memories do not have to be searched for or relived.

Presence & attention — Listen, act deliberately and stay available to your child.

WEEK 6

Stability & boundaries

What supports you when things get difficult?

Strength-building yoga, grounding and somatic exercises deepen physical and inner stability. Reflection and conversation help you notice and express your boundaries clearly.

In your everyday lifePrepare a clear, respectful boundary for a specific everyday situation.

Practice outline: around 90 minutes of yoga within a 150-minute session. Practices and duration adapt to the group.

We distinguish a protective boundary from control. Body-based exercises, grounding and intentional pauses connect this reflection with noticing your choices today.

Stability & boundaries — Practise sovereignty: stand clearly, respect boundaries and stay connected.

MODULE 3 / SPRING & AUTUMN

Live. Practise new paths.

WEEK 7

Clarity & alignment

From a wish to a conscious decision.

Return to your goals: which still fit? Which reflect other people's expectations? Reflection, journaling and conversation help you connect your decisions with your values as a father.

In your everyday lifePlan a manageable step that is genuinely within your control.

Practice outline: around 100 minutes of yoga within a 150-minute session. Practices and duration adapt to the group.

What would you like to keep from your family, change or begin anew? You shape your own picture of fatherhood, with room for mistakes, support and growth.

Clarity & direction — Connect values, goals and practical decisions.

WEEK 8

Habits & new responses

Recognize old loops. Practice different paths.

Look at behaviors that hurt you or your relationships. Practice alternative responses and discuss setbacks without letting them define you.

In your everyday lifeTry a different response in a recurring situation and reflect on it.

Practice outline: around 110 minutes of yoga within a 150-minute session. Practices and duration adapt to the group.

Using everyday conflicts, we practise recognising familiar protective responses and reconnecting: announcing a pause without disappearing, taking responsibility without attacking yourself, and returning to your child after a mistake.

Patterns & self-efficacy — Understand old reactions and practise new responses in daily life.

WEEK 9

Integration & moving forward

What stays with you when the program ends?

Gather the practices and insights that have become dependable for you. Build a personal plan for life as a father, with routines, support and room for adjustments.

In your everyday lifeWrite a practical plan for the first weeks after the program.

Practice outline: around 60 minutes of yoga within a 150-minute session. Practices and duration adapt to the group.

Integration also means practising what you have learned in small moments of relationship: listening, respecting boundaries and reconnecting after conflict. We consider what support could help you continue.

Integration & responsibility — Choose your next step and take sustainable routines with you.

BEFORE YOUR NEXT STEP

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Who is SHIVA SHIFT for?

For fathers and fathers-to-be who want direction, strength or more conscious relationships. No yoga experience is needed. Individual coaching, the father circle and the program offer different starting points.

How much time do I need each week?

For the program, five live online hours: two 2½-hour sessions. Allow additional time for reflection and short challenges. One 55-minute conversation per module is included. The father circle is included in the module price and takes place in addition to the five practice hours.

What is included in the program?

Included: starter box, workbook, journal and challenge book, access to the provided program videos, forum and network group, plus one year of the father circle. Starter box contents, access details and the start of the access year are specified before booking. Recordings of personal group conversations are not automatically promised. Merchandise and retreat are separate. Two weekly online sessions and one 55-minute conversation per module are also included.

What does it cost?

Existing price guide: program from €555 per module (three modules from €1,332), individual coaching from €111 for 55 minutes, father circle €15 per meeting. The optional retreat has a planned additional budget of around €400–500 excluding travel. Final terms are confirmed before booking.

When can I start?

Starts are planned in spring and autumn, with two cohorts per year for each module. Exact dates will follow. Individual coaching and joining the father circle are discussed in an introductory conversation.

Is SHIVA SHIFT therapy?

SHIVA SHIFT supports personal development, direction and everyday fatherhood. It does not diagnose, treat or relieve illnesses, and does not provide psychotherapy or trauma treatment. Body-based exercises, yoga, breath awareness, meditation, reflection and shared conversation are offered for self-exploration and everyday practice. They are not equivalent to medical or psychotherapeutic treatment. The program may be a voluntary addition, but cannot replace necessary care or guarantee particular health outcomes. Medical and psychotherapeutic decisions belong with appropriately qualified professionals.

Do I have to share personal things?

You decide what to share. Every practice is optional. We agree on a respectful, confidential setting; no one can guarantee absolute confidentiality by other group participants.

What happens in the introductory call?

We spend 30 minutes online exploring your situation and whether any support fits. The call is free and has no obligation. Choose a time in the existing calendar; this does not enrol you in a paid offer.

Can I join SHIVA SHIFT alongside therapy?

Depending on your circumstances, this may be possible. SHIVA SHIFT offers its own setting for body awareness, coaching, community and everyday practice. Body-based and group approaches can also be part of psychotherapy. If you are receiving treatment or have health concerns, discuss participation with your treating professional. Our introductory conversation explores a suitable setting and does not replace a clinical assessment.

What about practices and health considerations?

Every practice is optional and can be adapted, skipped or stopped. Pausing is not a failure. Discuss health concerns and possible contraindications with a suitable professional before participating. Do not change medication or ongoing treatment because of this program. SHIVA SHIFT is not an acute crisis service, addiction treatment or guidance for withdrawal. If you need urgent help, use local emergency medical services.

Are particular results guaranteed?

We provide the agreed setting for guidance, practice and conversation. Your experience and development are individual. Healing, symptom relief, a particular personal outcome or a relationship outcome are not guaranteed. Statutory rights and any expressly agreed refund promise are unaffected.

Grief, anger, uncertainty and concern about your bond with your child can coexist. Handovers, living arrangements and new agreements create additional demands.

You cannot control the whole situation on your own. You can seek support, prepare conversations and develop dependable steps within your control.

When youcannot tell anyone how you feel.

Withdrawing or carrying pressure alone leaves fewer opportunities for shared experience and practical help. Even a full calendar can feel lonely.

A dependable contact, an honest conversation or a fathers' circle can be a beginning. You choose what you want to share.

Not everydifficulty looks like sadness.

Irritability, sleep problems, exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, hopelessness or increased substance use can be signs of mental health problems. They are not a diagnosis.

If symptoms persist or significantly affect daily life, seek medical or psychotherapeutic assessment. Coaching does not replace treatment.

Your upbringing and fatherhood

Your own experiences of care, absence or criticism may resonate in everyday fatherhood. That does not mean you have to repeat the same story. We explore what shaped you and which response fits your values today.

Father and mother wounds are prompts for conversation here, not diagnoses. Inner-child work, archetypes and body-based reflection offer different ways in. Your child is not responsible for processing your history.
