Professional Statement
My name is Kimberly Pavlik, PhD, and I am an Ayurveda Specialist, Yoga, Meditation, and Mindfulness Instructor, and the founder of Santosha Mindfulness. I created Santosha Mindfulness as a welcoming and supportive space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and cultivate greater balance, awareness, and well-being in everyday life.
The word Santosha means contentment—an invitation to meet ourselves and our lives with greater acceptance, compassion, and presence. My approach brings together the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga with the practices of meditation and mindfulness, offering a holistic path toward greater harmony in body, mind, and spirit.
Through personalized guidance and mindful practices, my intention is to help you better understand your unique needs, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and develop sustainable practices that support your overall well-being.
Whether you are beginning your wellness journey or looking to deepen an existing practice, you are welcome here. This is not about striving for perfection, but about learning to listen to yourself, honor your individual needs, and move through life with greater awareness and intention.
imberly is a member of Yoga Alliance, Yoga International, Veriditas, and The Labyrinth Society. She is also certified through the World Yoga Federation (200-hour) and the Meditation Alliance (CMT 200-hour).
Through Santosha Mindfulness, Kimberly offers personalized yoga, meditation, and mindfulness experiences designed to meet individuals and groups wherever they are on their wellness journey.
Offerings include private yoga sessions in the comfort of your home or home gym, workshops, small-group yoga and mindfulness sessions, bachelorette parties and special gatherings, group classes, one-on-one instruction, corporate wellness sessions, and both in-person and online classes.
Whether you are looking for an individualized practice, a meaningful group experience, or an opportunity to bring mindfulness and wellness into your workplace or special event, sessions can be thoughtfully tailored to your needs.
Kimberly is offering a rejuvenating Wellness Retreat in the Dominican Republic, January 15–21, 2027. Come experience an opportunity to step away from your daily routine, reconnect with yourself, and enjoy a restorative journey centered around wellness, mindfulness, and renewal.
