Abha Sharma

Engineer turned explorer

Exploring movement, healing, and the self — one experience at a time.

About

Born and raised with the idea that life had to follow a fixed path, Abha began her journey as an engineer — structured, ambitious, and certain about what success was supposed to look like. But somewhere between deadlines, expectations, and routines, she realized there was a quieter voice within asking for something more meaningful, more alive.

What started as curiosity slowly turned into a journey.

For the past few years, Abha has been travelling across India as a digital nomad, documenting life, meeting strangers, exploring movement, healing, storytelling, and the many layers of being human. From mountains and hostels to meditation spaces and conversations with people from different walks of life, every experience became part of her inner exploration.

Over time, she found herself drawn toward spaces that allowed people to reconnect with themselves — through movement, breath, stillness, music, reflection, and shared experiences. This eventually gave birth to Aatma Bodh — a space and a growing community centered around remembering who you already are.

Today, Abha holds retreats and experiences in Rishikesh, collaborates with healers and creators, and continues to build a life rooted in exploration rather than certainty. Her work sits at the intersection of storytelling, movement, healing, philosophy, and human connection.

Whether she's writing about nature, philosophising life, dancing freely in an ecstatic dance session, speaking about inner work, or simply documenting an ordinary moment on the road — Abha's intention remains the same:

To make people feel a little more connected to themselves, and a little less alone in their journey.

What Rishikesh Taught Me About Stillness

The Ganga doesn't rush. It flows — steady, full, unbothered. I sat by it for hours, learning what my body already knew but my mind refused to accept.

The Body Remembers

Movement isn't exercise. It's a conversation with the parts of yourself you've been ignoring. Every stretch is a question. Every release, an answer.

Reading

What I'm reading & what stays with me

The Body Keeps the Score

Bessel van der Kolk

A book that changed how I understand healing — not as a mental exercise, but as a full-body experience.

When Things Fall Apart

Pema Chödrön

For every moment when life feels like it's unraveling. A gentle reminder that groundlessness is the ground.

The Artist's Way

Julia Cameron

Creativity isn't talent — it's practice. Morning pages became my meditation before I knew what meditation was.
