Shalaka is the founder of The Quiet Brain Club, a community that comes together to practice paying attention, thinking creatively and building mental stamina. Through evidence-led exercises, shared challenges and everyday experiments, she helps people spend less time passively consuming and more time deliberately engaging their minds. A former Silicon Valley software engineer, she is curious about how the mind works and how we can train it. Her neuroscience-informed sessions turn ideas about attention into practices people can try, observe and use in everyday life. She also offers yoga classes, from gentle movement to strength-building flows. Born in India and based in California, she has practiced yoga and meditation for two decades and is a trained yoga and prenatal yoga teacher. Her work draws on Eastern traditions and Western science, making what she learns practical and usable in the modern world.

Juat what I needed when I thought about not practicing due to discomfort from cramps and headache. This gentle practice is absolutely perfect, and met me where I was and led me gebtly into the day. Wear your pyjamas. I even held a hot water bottle for some of it!

Two weeks post surgery and listening with Baby on my chest… breathing together and healing. Many thanks; I know I’ll be listening again soon

Thank you for addressing this issue in such a kind way. It's a unique topic. My phone has taken too much of my life. I will return.
