Shanti Gowans, the principal teacher and founder of the Shanti Yoga system is an excellent teacher: dynamic and direct, yet gentle, perceptive, keen and caring. She can mirror for us, through her mastery and through our own meditative inquiry, the embodied presence of yoga energies. To learn the teachings from a living master in human form is a gift and a rare, lifetime opportunity. These teachings evoke our sacred, human principle with it’s qualities of wholesomeness, openness, depth, courage, gentleness and wisdom. They help us understand and unveil the nature of yoga within us. They show us how to voice and act on these truths, how to embody qualities of discernment towards our health, clarity, support and love in our relationships and enjoy creative possibilities.
Shantiji supports and trains those who have chosen the path of Shanti yoga and who aspire to share it. Under her direction and guidance, in order to deepen, reflect upon and practice teaching in ways not usually available to us, the program covers the breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and competencies for teaching yoga.
We have always been enlightened. Our confusion is merely our fear of that fact. There is nothing more or less to ‘what we are’ than ‘that’ which is immediately apparent; but we seem unable to see it. Enlightenment is ours to see, hear, touch, smell, taste and ideate but all we seem to sense, is the shifting surface of that vastness. We see reflections but are blind to the nature of the mirror. We see waves but fail to experience the ocean. We see clouds but cannot conceive of the sky. Honouring our inner intelligence is a wonderful adventure. We are all here to experience our magnificence!
