Our Impact
Trauma and addiction are deeply interconnected, creating a cycle that can be difficult to break. About 59% of people diagnosed with PTSD develop issues with substance use and dependence. In fact, 75% of women and men in substance abuse treatment report histories of abuse and trauma. Women, in particular, are more likely to develop PTSD after experiencing trauma, and for many, this leads to a reliance on substances to cope.
At Holistic Evolution Shala, we believe in the power of holistic healing to break this cycle. We specialize in supporting women who are struggling with the aftermath of trauma and addiction by providing tools such as yoga, DBT skills, and a supportive community. Our mission is to help women heal from their trauma, stay calm in challenging situations, and build healthy, supportive relationships.
As part of our commitment to making a positive impact, we allocate funds to support nonprofit organizations that assist women in recovery. By working together, we can empower more women to break free from the grips of addiction and trauma, creating a life of peace, balance, and connection.
Thank you for being part of our mission to foster healing and recovery. Your support allows us to continue helping women transform their lives, one step at a time

Meet Mandi Gardner
RYS 500 2014, RYS 200 2022
Mandi Gardner is the founder of Holistic Evolution Shala. Her personal transformation through trauma and recovery has inspired her to help other women break free from their past and reclaim their lives.
Mandi is an Ashtanga yoga teacher and DBT skills coach with a profound commitment to healing and personal growth. Having grown up experiencing childhood trauma, Mandi began her transformative journey at 20 years old, starting with yoga and later diving deeply into Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) after recognizing the challenges posed by being raised by a parent with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). For 20 years, she battled addictive behaviors and alcoholism, eventually overcoming these struggles through her dedication to yoga, DBT skills, and personal healing.
With 23 years of experience in yoga and a significant life shift post-DBT, Mandi began teaching yoga in 2014 and fully dedicated herself to Ashtanga yoga in 2018. Today, she channels her journey into helping others heal from childhood trauma and addictive behaviors, empowering women to transform their lives holistically.
MORE ABOUT MANDIWhat Others Are Saying
"This program was thoughtfully designed for you to learn, grow and apply yoga techniques and DBT skills. The DBT skills were a game changer for me, they empowered me to make changes in my personal life. Mandi gives real life experiences and examples that directly taught me. Hearing from the group gave me confidence I wasn't alone. This course truly helped me create more self-control and better relationships. It offered so many answers and validations I had been seeking to find and learn. I'm forever grateful for Mandi. Mandi gives you everything you could need and more: step-by-step guides, practice worksheets, and videos. She really does prepare you and give you the tools needed to succeed. She offered personal support along the way, and you can feel she really does mean it. This course is a true revolution for healing relationships, trauma and overall happiness and well-being in life. It truly does give you a whole new life, I'm not just saying it. If you follow the course and do the yoga, your life will change right in front of your eyes. It's not a quick easy fix but it's permanent changes and skills you can use forever."
Testimonial
YOGA INSTRUCTOR
 "In addition to the life changing content, Mandi has a way of creating a safe and inclusive environment where everyone can express themselves as much or as little as they feel inspired to. She shares personal experiences that I really resonated with and that helped me understand the content even more. The yoga was challenging for me as someone with limited strength and flexibility, but just taking the time to be in my body, whether I was able to do all of the poses or not, was incredibly helpful to me. After just a few short weeks, I can see why Mandi has chosen to incorporate yoga into the course. A powerful combination indeed."
