Embodied, Integrative Care for Modern Life
For individuals and organizations seeking grounded, non-pharmacological approaches to well-being in an increasingly inflamed world.
About Aangik
Aangik is a somatic education and integrative wellness studio offering embodied approaches to stress regulation, emotional resilience, and physical health. The work blends Western medical frameworks with culturally grounded movement and reflection practices, creating accessible, non-clinical spaces for self-learning and integration.
In addition to integrative health coaching and somatic education, Aangik also offers mentorship and advising for individuals navigating complex educational and professional paths, particularly in medicine.
Our Founder
Shiv Nadkarni, M.D. is a physician, movement practitioner, and educator working at the intersection of medicine, anthropology, and embodied practice. With training in neuroscience, medicine, and Indian classical dance, his work integrates lifestyle medicine (focusing on nutrition, movement, and sleep), somatic education, and storytelling. He has collaborated with academic institutions, arts organizations, and community spaces to design programs that support nervous system regulation and emotional well-being.
Dr. Nadkarni completed his B.A. in Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania, his M.A. in Dance Anthropology at the University of Roehampton using a U.S.-U.K. Fulbright Award, and his M.D. at the Univeristy of California-Los Angeles (UCLA).

In case you're wondering...
Is this therapy or medical treatment?
No. Aangik offerings are not psychotherapy or medical treatment. The work is experiential, integrative, and educational and is focused on embodied practices, lifestyle medicine principles, and stress regulation. Participants are encouraged to continue any medical or mental health care they’re already receiving.
Who is this work for?
Aangik is for individuals and organizations navigating stress, burnout, and emotional overload. It is particularly for professionals, artists, students, educators, and institutions seeking culturally grounded, embodied approaches to well-being.
Do I need prior experience with meditation, movement, or somatic practices?
No prior experience is required. All offerings are accessible and adapted to the needs of the individual or group.
How is this different from wellness or fitness programs?
Aangik integrates medical training, multidisciplinary study, and embodied movement traditions. The work is grounded in lifestyle medicine principles and nervous system regulation vs. performance, productivity optimization, or fitness outcomes.
