Shivam has embarked on his journey of spirituality and yoga while inspiring others to get acquainted with the benefits that yoga offers.

Shivam Pandey is a Yoga & Wellness Coach who has been featured among the top 25 emerging Indian youth from Mumbai. He has worked with several hospitals, NGOs, banks, and corporate companies for yoga and wellness programs.

Shivam is primarily from Banaras, Uttar Pradesh, and was born and brought up in Mumbai. He completed his entire education in Mumbai itself. Talking about his early days, Shivam shares that he was quite clueless and purposeless in life before he could find his true calling. Back then, he used to go for long walks, which gave him enough time for self-introspection. Eventually, Shivam started reading spiritual and yoga books, and completed seven of them in just two months.

During the pandemic, Shivam also created a programme called "After vaccination breathing" to help COVID-19 patients with pranayama and breathing exercises. He is also an advocate of good mental health and has dealt with cancer patients and people who are in custody.

Speaking about his achievements, Shivam says he is proud to have taken more than 150 people out of depression.

When asked about his role models, Shivam says he considers everything that surrounds him an inspiration, which includes trees, animals, and humans.

As a message for all those aspiring to practise yoga, Shivam says that one needs to be truly connected with the values of a yogi.

Quoting from the Bhagavad Gita, Shivam says that the one who remains balanced in success and failure, pleasures and pain, and the one who understands the dualities of life while remaining positive even in adversities is a yogi. He says that good work ethics, morality, celibacy, and the essence of purity towards oneself and having a goal take you closer to being on the path of a true yogi.

In his message to the youth, Shivam says that there will be instances when you fall down and are not able to focus on your goal. On that note, he advises the young to have a purpose in life and live life on their own terms.

When asked about his hobbies, Shivam says that he likes reading books, riding bikes and exploring new places. His goal is to travel India, Australia, and the United States on his bike.

Shivam is inspired by the quote "Be the change you wish to see in the world", which is also his life mantra.

To end with, Shivam quotes a saying, "Look for a reason to live, and not an excuse to die."
