Blessings, I am
Throughout life's journey, there is an awakening, a calling, an urge to 'activate'...
This calling cried out to me and I heard it loud and clear. My journey to true wellness has led me on some extraordinary paths, allowing me to now share with profound wisdom the divine powers of Kundalini Activation and Quantum Transformation.
HarJiwan Sa Ra
Pioneer, Healer, Mentor & More
We each have a purpose... mine is to help others find clarity in theirs. To find their authenticity, to align with their core being, to transcend the limitations of the projected matrix.
Together, my clients and I tap into the incredible power that Kundalini Yoga and other magics offer; a lifetime of heart-led transformation, authentic living, and purposeful up-levelling.
For those who are new to Kundalini Yoga (also known as The Yoga of Awareness), it is so important to understand that it is an incredible foundation for a radical acceleration of the spiritual journey to ultimate vitality, in essence, living a life of self-power, happiness, magic, freedom, confidence, expression, self-healing, and weaving the fabric of life into a masterpiece.
Though I offer guidance in a broad range of magics, this Kundalini foundation is the crux of my teachings and workshops. It flows and weaves in amongst all that I do. It is my guiding light, and sharing this light with others is my purpose.
Being
Those who know there is 'something more', those who have a purpose to influence in a delicate yet profound way always find their way to me.
Though I have always had a deep connection with spirituality and human potential, as well as a desire to guide others toward reaching their most enlightened and truest form in body, mind and spirit, the journey to achieving this within myself has been long and full of self-reflection and chosen transformation.
From a young age, I had always felt drawn to metaphysics, angels and spirituality. My first soul-encompassing awakening came to me at just 14 years old. Since then, I have discovered and uncaged the fully awakened Lion Goddess within myself; I am the mentor I was always meant to be.
I strive to share my divine and powerful wisdom with strength, empathy, kindness, love, purpose, reflection, and feminine power. I like to think that 14-year-old me would be proud of how much I’ve flourished in my authentic form, and how many others have journeyed and found their authenticity by my side.
My Journey So Far
Every choice we make shapes the path we walk, weaving together the story of who we are becoming. This is my journey - a dance of transformation, healing, and purpose.
What began as a childhood love for ballet blossomed into a profound exploration of the body, mind, and spirit. Along the way, injury and exhaustion became unexpected guides, leading me to the restorative and transformative practices of Pilates, Yoga, and Meditation. Through these sacred modalities, I discovered not just healing but an awakening - an alignment with my soul’s calling. My path became clear: to share this divine, life-changing wisdom with other women ready to reclaim their radiance. This journey has been my greatest teacher, and I am honored to share the sacred magics I’ve gathered along the way with women seeking to awaken their highest potential.
I began with
ballet
Movement has always been my medicine, and my journey began with ballet at the age of 7, training in high-level schools across Victoria. A prestigious scholarship to the Hungarian National Ballet in Budapest marked my entry into the world of elite movement. There, I trained in the renowned Vaganova method at the highest level, building a strong foundation in precision, discipline, and artistry. This journey led to several years dancing as a professionally trained ballet dancer in Europe. However, the physical and emotional demands of this path eventually caused injury and fatigue, leading me to seek a new direction in life.
Then stepped into
pilates
Returning to Australia with recovery as my focus, I discovered Pilates Body Conditioning, igniting a profound passion for healing through movement. By age 26, I had become a Pilates Master Trainer, studying directly with disciples of Joe Pilates and other global experts in the field. My deep roots in ballet significantly shaped my approach to Pilates. I went on to open my own Pilates studio in Melbourne, based at the Australian Ballet Company, where I worked closely with elite dancers to enhance their strength, recovery, and performance.
And moved toward
yoga +
wellness
Pilates became a stepping stone to exploring the transformative realms of Yoga and Wellness. My role as an Expert Pilates and Yoga Teacher for the Australian Ballet Company expanded into the study of Kundalini Yoga. Learning from multiple Kundalini Masters, including direct teachings from Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, I opened Australia’s first Kundalini Yoga studio. This pivotal moment unlocked my heart and led me to fully embrace my life’s purpose as a leader in wellness and spiritual transformation.
Now i offer
quantum transformation
Today, I integrate my extensive expertise in Spirituality, Pilates, Yoga, Wellness, and holistic healing to create life-changing programs for women seeking a deeper connection with themselves. Through bespoke one-on-one teachings, group trainings, masterminds, live events, livestream programs, and transformational workshops, I provide a diverse array of opportunities for women to engage with these practices. My mission is to guide women toward wholeness, radiance, and authentic happiness, equipping them with the tools to embody their most empowered and balanced selves.
Captivating beginnings
At the tender age of 13, I found myself enchanted by the metaphysical sciences, captivated by the presence of angels, and intrigued by the ancient practices of shamanism and the healing power of crystals. These early experiences set me on a path of deep devotion and service.
From a very young age, I have felt an undeniable pull towards spirituality and the vast potential of the human soul.

Setbacks & Scholarships
As I grew and started finding my place in the world, during my teenage years and early twenties, I faced a profound struggle with anorexia. At just 15, I was hospitalised due to severe weight loss that halted my beloved dancing. After my mother thankfully took me out of the hospital, I returned to ballet with a renewed determination.
When I was 16, I was honoured to receive a scholarship at the Hungarian National Ballet in Budapest, Hungary, which marked the beginning of a global journey. For several years, I danced across Europe, but eventually, fatigue, persistent lower back injury, and a mild relapse led me back to Australia.
During this transformative time, I passionately pursued another love of mine - ballet.

A newfound purpose in pilates & healing
The philosophy of Pilates resonated deeply with me, and I found the focused core work to be incredibly empowering. A combination of travel, continuous reinvention of myself, extensive spiritual work, Kundalini Yoga, Pilates, and the powerful activation of my Navel Power and Heart Chakra all played crucial roles in my healing throughout my recovery from the deep wounding of anorexia. With a newfound strength, I decided to leave ballet behind and embarked on training and certification in Pilates. This journey allowed me to develop a deep understanding and appreciation for the practice. I soon found myself working in rehabilitation and body conditioning alongside some of Melbourne's top physiotherapists and medical practitioners, helping others find their own paths to healing and strength.
After a few years, I was offered an international position in San Francisco to assist in setting up and opening a Pilates studio while continuing my studies and teaching. This opportunity marked the beginning of an incredible journey as I then moved on to work with Moira Stott, the creator of Stott Pilates, in Toronto, Canada. During this time, the discipline of Ashtanga Yoga found me. I immersed myself fully in the practice, balancing my growth as a Pilates teacher with my newfound passion for yoga. Eager to expand my training, I moved from Toronto to London to study with esteemed Ashtanga yogis including John Scott and Shandor Remete.
These years were filled with immense growth and joy. I taught Pilates at leading studios in London, presented workshops throughout Europe, and travelled back to Toronto as a guest teacher, all while deepening my yoga practice. During this period, a sponsorship opportunity from Stott Pilates for a senior teacher position was presented to me and accepted. It seemed my path would lead me back to Toronto, Canada, guiding me to new heights in both my Pilates and yoga journeys.
I immersed myself in the discipline of Pilates and instantly recognised its profound potential.

Rest, rehabilitation & new beginnings
It was during this period back in Australia that a chance meeting changed the course of my path. I was offered the position of Expert Pilates and Yoga Teacher to the Australian Ballet Company in Melbourne - a role that would set my passion alight and shape the next phase of my career profoundly. Embracing this opportunity, I set about developing fresh, dynamic, and innovative programs in body conditioning and rehabilitation, integrating my two passions of Yoga and Pilates.
As I worked with the dancers of the Australian Ballet Company, my studio evolved into a sanctuary of healing for body, mind, and spirit. Beyond body conditioning, dancers sought me out for holistic support. Alongside this role, I founded ‘Affluent Movement Pilates Studio’, catering to a diverse clientele from elite athletes in Australian football and tennis to performers in the arts, celebrities, business professionals, and individuals managing chronic conditions.
Amidst the demands of this busy and fulfilling time, I came to truly appreciate the profound importance of my daily Yogic practice in nourishing myself. This practice not only sustained me but also enabled me to give wholeheartedly to others, enriching my journey of service and growth.

Embracing the transformative power of Kundalini yoga
Inside, Gurmukh had written a personal message that would profoundly alter the course of my journey. Words truly hold immense power, and it wasn't long before I felt compelled to journey to Los Angeles for intensive study with Gurmukh.
At that time, Kundalini Yoga was virtually unknown in Australia, making this trip a pivotal moment. My first experience in LA with Gurmukh felt like unlocking my heart and stepping into my true destiny. Kundalini Yoga resonated with me deeply - it was as if I had finally found my calling and returned home to myself. This transformative period marked the beginning of a profound chapter in my personal spiritual journey and teaching career.
Upon returning to Australia and my Pilates studio, I felt an extreme pull towards integrating Kundalini Yoga meditations at the end of my Pilates sessions. To my delight, clients responded enthusiastically - they loved the added dimension it brought to their practice and wanted more. It was this enthusiasm that helped me to understand that bringing Kundalini Yoga to Australia was my immediate calling.
Maintaining a dedicated Kundalini Yoga home practice alongside my Hatha yoga routines, I embarked on intensive training and teacher certification in New Mexico under the guidance of the renowned Master of Kundalini Yoga, Yogi Bhajan. The journey was intense yet incredibly rewarding. Before my formal training, I attended Women’s Camp - an enlightening week immersed in women’s wisdom and ancient teachings on living as a Yogini. The time spent in New Mexico was nothing short of transformative.
My partner at the time, who had just returned from Los Angeles, brought me a truly heartfelt gift - a book titled ‘The Eight Human Talents’ by Gurmukh, a renowned Kundalini Yoga teacher.

Inspired redirection & renaming of self
A quickening of this redirection occurred when a burglar, armed with a crowbar, confronted me in my studio - an incredibly alarming and terrifying experience. Amidst the chaos, the burglar uttered a question that lingered in my mind for weeks: “Is this your place?” From that unsettling moment, clarity emerged.
I made the bold decision to resign from my role as the Resident Expert Pilates/Yoga Teacher with the Australian Ballet and bid farewell to my successful Pilates studio. Embracing my new path as a Kundalini Yoga teacher, I adopted the Yogic name bestowed upon me by Yogi Bhajan - HarJiwan.
This transition was driven by a deep yearning to delve deeper into healing, to inspire, and to support others on their journeys. It manifested the beginning of a new chapter where I could fully embody my purpose and continue the transformative work that had become my calling.
When I returned to Australia, I resumed teaching Pilates and Yoga, but the profound inner shifts experienced in New Mexico had set me on a new course.
Finding Home, consciously conceiving & pregnancy →
Pioneering Kundalini yoga in Australia
Many of my Pilates clients and members of the Australian Ballet eagerly embraced this ‘new’ technology, becoming regular students at the studio.
It was an exhilarating time, filled with daily classes, workshops, special events, intensives, full moon sessions, and numerous private consultations and programs. Alongside teaching, I continued my journeys to New Mexico and Golden Bridge in LA to deepen my knowledge under the guidance of Gurmukh. Over time, our bond grew into a lasting friendship that spans more than two decades.
Several years after KYA’s inception, the building housing our studio faced sale without a secure long-term lease, prompting a decision to relocate. Having always dreamt of living a Yogini bohemian ‘beach’ life near the ocean, I meditated deeply. Leaving Melbourne meant bidding farewell to a vibrant community of Kundalini Yogis, as well as cherished family, friends, and clients. Despite the emotional challenges, the pull to follow my heart was undeniable, and I trusted in its divine guidance.
I established Australia’s first Kundalini Yoga studio and founded ‘Kundalini Yoga Australia’ (KYA), also known as Guru Ram Das Ashram, Melbourne - blessed by Yogi Bhajan, sparking a transformative wave of Kundalini Yoga across the country.

Finding Home, consciously conceiving & pregnancy
Soon after, another dream of mine became reality - pregnancy. Before consciously conceiving, I had completed my Kundalini Pregnancy teacher training the year prior. I travelled to LA to deepen my training in pregnancy yoga, returning to Byron Bay to immerse myself in conscious communication, aware parenting, and teaching pregnancy Kundalini courses.
During my pregnancy, I continued teaching Kundalini Yoga workshops, pregnancy yoga classes, and Pilates, embracing each opportunity to share my knowledge and support others on their journeys.
My partner and I packed our lives and moved north to Byron Bay, a renowned hub of healing and yoga in Australia. This move marked a significant chapter of personal and spiritual growth, where I continue to cultivate and share my passion for Kundalini Yoga in a new setting that feels like home.

The spirituality of motherhood & passion to support women
The next two and a half years were a profound journey of motherhood and yogic devotion. I dedicated myself wholeheartedly to nurturing Bodhi naturally and consciously, integrating my yogic practices into our daily lives.
Raising Bodhi organically became an incredible spiritual practice in itself, reinforcing my lifelong passion to help women (and, in turn, their families) reach their highest potential. Guided by my heart, I continued to evolve in my parenting journey as Bodhi grew. I transitioned into homeschooling him while dedicating myself to teaching women’s Kundalini programs, courses, and workshops.
The years were filled with deep connection, growth, and joy as I navigated the responsibilities of motherhood and home schooling while staying true to my deeply divine spiritual path and sharing its power with others. This phase of my life was deeply fulfilling as I merged my roles as a mother and a teacher, empowering women through their own journeys of growth and transformation. It was a time of profound connection, sharing wisdom, and nurturing both personal and collective evolution.
An incredible enlightenment began to unfold as I realised how much I have to offer women in these transformative stages of life - fertility, pregnancy, health, birthing, postnatal care, and conscious parenting. My own experience was deeply embodied, and I am passionate about supporting women who feel drawn to this path.
I was blessed to have a natural home birth and welcomed a beautiful boy, Bodhi. Byron Bay provided the serene and nurturing environment I had always envisioned for motherhood.

Developing powerful wow programs
These programs bring together all my life’s work, culminating in what has now become the WOW experience.
I now offer regular workshops, masterclasses, intensives, and events online, as well as my signature WOW Mentoring Programs, which specialise in women’s spirituality, health, wellness, yoga, healing, and self-empowerment. As a certified educator in raw nutrition and longevity I have a passion for drawing upon and sharing the power of plant based foods and super tonic herbs.
With a divine wealth of experience behind me, I feel as though my soul overflows with the power to offer incredibly healing moments, from programs designed to help women heal from eating disorders to exciting online projects and large live events that reach women globally.
Many of my students have become teachers themselves through direct activation and energy transmission, though my mission is not to create teachers. My mission is to guide all who come to work with me towards becoming the fully awakened, self-embodied best versions of themselves. I aim to unlock the fullest, most authentic expression and potential that lies within each individual.
This activation and powerful energy increase propels each person onto their highest timeline, enabling them to share their unique creative gifts with the world. It is about empowering everyone to live their truth and make meaningful contributions to the world around them.
To enable me to be fully present for my son while continuing my calling to help women, I developed my bespoke and highly specialised WOW Mentorship Programs.

Egypt pilgrimage & more upgrades
Since childhood, I’ve been deeply fascinated by ancient Egypt, and when the call came, I knew it was both a soul and a bigger collective mission waiting to be fulfilled. Within a few months, I’d booked the perfect journey that resonated deeply with my heart and purpose.
As soon as I travelled to the ancient land, profound activations began in Aswan on the sacred Priestess Island and in the Philae Isis Temple, where each step of the journey unfolded in layers of awakening and deep remembering! I received continuous remembering, downloads of light codes - high-frequency information - and powerful Sekhem healing transmissions, a high-vibrational energy of ancient Egypt.
Every day brought with it an accumulation of otherworldly transmissions and divine insights, streaming in from the sacred temples, the powerful flow of the Nile, and the radiant Solar land of Egypt. There were many incredible experiences (too many to share here), however one of the most profound days began at dawn on the Nile. As I practiced my Kundalini Kriyas on our Dahabiya temple boat (sailing boat), I experienced an intense, visceral transformation. I felt all my electrons and cellular structure disperse like liquid, and then being electrified by brilliant light, rearrange and drop back into my being. I immediately felt ‘different’ like I had undergone a powerful DNA upgrade and Sekhem transmission, as the ancient waters of the Nile whispered their eternal wisdom to me. Later that same morning, I had a deeply active somatic encounter with Sekhmet, (the ancient Egyptian Lioness Goddess of healing, power, alchemical purification and transformation whose name means 'She Who Is Powerful') where my body moved and shook releasing and again recalibrating.
In 2023, on the Lions Gate Portal, I received an undeniable Soul calling - to embark on a sacred pilgrimage to Egypt.

Egypt pilgrimage & more upgrades
Here I received and was enveloped in fierce waves of unconditional compassion, grace, love, and profound healing. It was here that my extended name HarJiwan Sa Ra dropped in. Through her guidance, waves of Sekhem energy flowed, unlocking deeper dimensions of healing and aligning me with a heightened expression of divine purpose. As this energy flowed, I felt her wisdom encouraging me to integrate the ancient healing energies of Sekhem with my modernised Kundalini teachings and women's empowerment leadership programs. This immediately felt ‘right’ as it naturally coincided with my ‘Ancient Modern’ vision.
If you feel called to explore more about my Egypt pilgrimage, sign up HERE to receive my newsletters or visit my Blog, where I will continue to share my experiences and insights..
I am beyond excited to return to my beloved Egypt in 2026 to lead a deeply transformative Kundalini Training Journey. Full details will be announced soon on the Events page - stay tuned for this once-in-a-lifetime experience! Register your interest HERE.
Later that same day, before twilight, in Luxor at Karnak temple I was within the sacred presence of Sekhmet in her chapel.

“Truly the most sacred and special practice that I did during my pregnancy was my mentorship with HarJiwan.”
HarJiwan supported me with guidance on optimal nutrition during pregnancy and prepared me to withhold the physical and mental resilience that was needed to get me gracefully through a long labour. She also supported me with postpartum care, conscious parenting advice and tips. My daily practice, tailored by HarJiwan, was the best way possible to keep my mind, body and spirit in the most optimal state during pregnancy. I rave about this mentorship to every woman I know and feel truly blessed to have had this experience. My wish is for every pregnant woman to participate in this mentorship…for the deepest nourishment possible for her mind, body and spirit …and for supporting humanity with the very special souls that emerge Earth-side after this experience in the womb!
— Natalie Wildbell, Mother and Business Owner
“Her radiance, her light, her love, her sharing, her commitment, and her devotion to the mission to uplift humanity are prominent in her words, her actions, and her smile.”
HarJiwan, also known as Jacinta, I met over 20 years ago. At that time she was a remarkable, young, talented woman. Now she has grown, with her son Bodhi, into a full-blossomed woman who understands the importance of being a woman, who understands her mission to help other women, to help other families, to help children, mothers, and those coming on the Path.
— Gurmukh, Goldenbridge Yoga, USA
If you can only pick 1 thing to do to support you during your pregnancy… then ensure this is it! It’s hard to articulate how incredibly magical and potent this is. Imagine being in the most spiritually open, creative process of your life ~ growing new life within you ~ and encoding this period with ancient technologies and practices that enhance life in every way possible. It’s the most supreme practice you can do! The mentorship addressed every area of birth preparation and beyond.
