About Carmen – The Shakti Dance Goddess

Welcome, radiant soul! I’m Carmen, founder of Shakti Dance Goddess, and I’m living proof that age is just a number when it comes to vitality, joy, and feminine power.

At 70 years young, I am more energetic, healthy, and inspired than ever before. My lifelong love of dance and deep commitment to yoga have been the keys to my ageless spirit. Through decades of movement, teaching, and spiritual exploration, I’ve discovered that true radiance comes from within—and it’s available to us at every stage of life.

My journey has been one of fearless adventures, transformation, and bold choices. For 20 years, I worked as a CPA, but my heart longed for creativity, movement, and connection. I followed my dream and opened The Goddess Store in Downtown Hollywood, which I owned and ran for 15 years. There, I created a vibrant sanctuary for women, producing world dance events and building a diverse, supportive community centered around culture, empowerment, and the arts.

Since the age of 20, I have solo-traveled to some of the world’s most vibrant and sacred places—including India, Nepal, Spain, Morocco, Ecuador, Egypt, Bali, and Italy—embracing each culture, challenge, and transformation along the way. These experiences have shaped my belief that every woman has the power to step boldly into her own life, trust her intuition, and dance with the unknown.

My mission is to help women of all ages reconnect with their bodies, awaken their inner goddess, and experience the freedom and confidence that comes from joyful movement and soulful exploration. Whether you’re in your 30s, 50s, 70s, or anywhere in between, my classes, transformational coaching, and women-only retreats are designed to celebrate your unique beauty, strength, and sensuality.

I believe in creating a welcoming, supportive community where women can break free from limiting beliefs about aging, rediscover their natural vitality, and dance through life with passion and purpose. My approach blends yoga, sacred dance, goddess wisdom, and the spirit of adventure to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.

If you’re ready to feel youthful, empowered, and deeply connected—no matter your age—I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, we’ll embrace our ageless goddess energy, explore new horizons, and shine brighter than ever!

With love and shakti, 

Carmen✨
