ABOUT
SEHA is a sanctuary for experiential awakening, and a quantum portal for sacreed feminine teachings of embodied healing arts; movement breath, sound, music, dance & vitality embodied.
Founded by Yogini Maya Joy, SEHA offers a path of physical, emotional, and vibrational, or spiritual embodiment — drawing on ancient practices rooted in Yoga, Tantra, Shamanic healing, ancestral wisdom and ceremony.
Whether through Shakti Flow, free-movement Yoga Flow, Vocal Activation, Cacao Alchemy, or embodied constellation work, each offering is designed to reconnect you with the wisdom of your body and soul. Re-spirit. Re-member. Em-body. An option to explore facilitator mentorship available.
The SEHA learning methods are not a quick-fix or a performance. It is experiential, embodied re-membering; a slow, sacred return.
Where Art becomes healing; healing becomes a way of life.
You are the art, the artist and the wyd or artistry of both.
Yogini Maya Joy
(Haripal Kaur)
Founder and Creatrix of the School of Embodied Healing Arts
A Path Rooted in Embodiment and Ceremony
Maya Joy is a modern-day medicine woman, yogini, and musical mystic. Extensively trained in multiple healing arts. Maya seeded the vision, and founded SEHA to share the healing power of embodiment through yoga, dance, sound, and sacred ritual.
A Return to the Soil of South Africa
After more than 8 years abroad, Maya returned to South Africa in 2011 — a homecoming that marked the beginning of her full-time work in the healing arts. She began teaching Yoga and Shakti Flow Conscious Dance, which led to her first Embodiment training in 2018, which she ran two more times before the vision for SEHA was seeded and began to grow inside Maya, but she still had deeper initiation and training to complete first.
Deep Apprenticeship and Lineage Training spurned by the charnel grounds of her life
Maya never had an easy life, and experienced much loss early on. The pain and suffering of life, and in her personal life spurred her onto a spiritual path. It was in the charnel grounds that Maya’s greatest downloads and visions were received.
