About Linda ‘Indira’ Shekerjian –

I was born and raised in Fresno, CA and have strong family roots to the Central Valley as my ancestors immigrated here in the early 1880’s.  I feel at home driving country roads with grapevines on either side, despite living in Southern California for over 25 years.

My college theater classes used yoga poses for our “warm-up” but, it was not until I was an Event Coordinator in West LA that I found a more formal yoga class.  My teacher saw potential in me (thanks to ballet classes from ages 3-18) and asked me to teach. After his semi-private training in the Sivananda style, I also received certificates in Kundalini and Hatha Yoga.  I completed teacher trainings with Ana Forrest, Erich Schiffmann and Mark Whitwell and studied regularly with countless other Yoga Masters in Los Angeles.  I developed a unique voice and understanding of various types of yoga including Ashtanga, Iyengar, Viniyoga or Therapeutic Yoga.

While teaching yoga, I often received compliments about my “great hands.”  This led me to enroll in massage school in Culver City.  IPSB (Institute for Pyscho-Structural Balancing) has served the community for over 40 years.  I was drawn to IPSB for their holistic approach to massage and because they teach their therapists Tai Chi.  They do this to ensure longevity for the Massage Therapist (MT), since the nature of the job is physically demanding; many MTs quit after a few years, often from poor body mechanics that result in injury.

While I was at IPSB I took Craniosacral classes with Gary Strauss.  I was also drawn to his Polarity Program at his school: Life Energy Institute.  One of the most comprehensive trainings I participated in that included classes in Nutrition, Business, Counseling, and supervised sessions to the public.

While the ambiance in Spas is wonderful, my best work is done with clients who are open and ready for their own healing. My intention is to build rapport with my clients to create a safe space whereby they can drop in to their own intelligence and become resourced and empowered! 

No two Sessions are the same! I listen to the body and I trust the body’s wisdom to guide me for an optimal healing session. Together we co-create the session to strengthen your intention for your life’s purpose.

My philosophy is to hold space for you – and in that space, healing can occur.
