Finding Stillness: The Story Behind Śavāsana Collection

As a physician, I’ve spent my career caring for others—often in high-stress environments where every decision carries weight. Medicine teaches you discipline, resilience, and compassion, but it also reminds you of the toll stress can take on the mind and body. For me, wellness has never been just about physical health; it’s about creating spaces for rest, balance, and renewal.

That belief became the seed of Śavāsana Collection, my luxury candle company.

The inspiration came during one of my yoga practices. At the end, in śavāsana, I felt the profound stillness that comes only when you allow yourself to fully let go. That quiet surrender—where the breath slows and the body softens—was transformative. I wanted to capture that feeling and make it accessible beyond the yoga mat. That’s when the idea was born: to create candles that don’t just smell beautiful, but invite you into a moment of peace.

My Vision as a Physician and Founder

The Śavāsana Collection represents the intersection of my two passions: healing and intentional living. I’ve seen firsthand how stress affects health, and I wanted to create something that would help people reclaim calm in their daily lives.

Candles may seem simple, but to me they are small rituals with powerful impact. Lighting one signals that you’re shifting into a different state—whether it’s winding down after work, journaling in the morning, or setting the tone for meditation. My vision was to design candles that not only elevate the space aesthetically but also nurture emotional well-being.

Craftsmanship with Intention

Because I care deeply about wellness, every detail of the Śavāsana Collection was chosen with purpose. Our candles are hand-poured in small batches, using a clean-burning wax blend and cotton wicks free of toxins. I wanted them to be safe, sustainable, and elegant.

The scents are inspired by both my cultural roots and my personal journey. Notes of oud and rose connect to ancient traditions, while eucalyptus and mint evoke clarity and freshness. Each fragrance tells a story, but more importantly, each is designed to support relaxation, grounding, and renewal.

A Ritual for Everyday Life

As a doctor, I often remind my patients that health isn’t just about lab results or medications—it’s also about creating habits that lower stress and bring joy. For me, the simple ritual of lighting a candle is one of those habits.

With the Śavāsana Collection, I wanted to make that ritual extraordinary. From the gentle crackle of the wick to the glow of the flame, each candle is meant to transform your environment into a sanctuary of calm. It’s a reminder that even in the busiest of lives, you deserve moments of stillness.

Partnership with Unite to Light

From the beginning, I knew Śavāsana Collection had to be about more than luxury—it had to give back. That’s why we’ve partnered with Unite to Light, a nonprofit dedicated to providing solar lamps and power to communities around the world that live without electricity.

For every candle purchased, a portion of proceeds helps bring clean, sustainable light to students, midwives, and families who need it most. To me, this partnership is deeply meaningful: while our candles symbolize relaxation and inner peace, they also support access to literal light for those who need it to study, to heal, and to thrive.

Why I Created This

The Śavāsana Collection is more than a business—it’s a reflection of my values as both a physician and a woman passionate about wellness and equity. It’s my way of merging luxury with purpose, beauty with meaning.

When you light one of these candles, my hope is that you feel cared for, grounded, and reminded that stillness is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. And with every purchase, you’re also helping extend light to someone else’s world.

Because true healing begins when we allow ourselves to pause. And sometimes, that pause begins with a single flame.
