A place for the body at thresholds
Rooted in traditional lineage and held through attentive bodywork
Born in India and introduced to Yoga, Ayurveda, and Siddhartha medicine from a young age, Rudra Dev has spent his life exploring the connection between nature, safety, and the human body. His background bridges distinct worlds—spanning years as a health and safety officer, a wilderness outdoor educator, a youth care worker, and a student of master plant traditions in the Amazon.
These varied experiences ultimately guided him to the path of holistic care. Lineage-trained in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Mysore, India, Rudra’s practice focuses on traditional, trauma-informed bodywork. His work thoughtfully integrates Thai Yoga Bodywork, the rhythmic pacing of Tok Sen, deep abdominal care through Chi Nei Tsang, and traditional pelvic Womblifting.
As a certified Full Spectrum Birth and End-of-Life Doula, Rudra is dedicated to supporting the physical and energetic body through life's major thresholds and transitions. Soma Temple provides a relaxed, slow, and deeply restorative space. He offers a quiet, steady, and non-judgmental presence, creating a supportive environment for your nervous system to rest, decompress, and return to its natural baseline of well-being.
