About Yoga
Yoga is one of the oldest mind-body healing modalities known to humankind. It originated in India over five thousand years ago. That it is still being practiced and growing speaks for its efficacy and for the truth of the principles upon which it is based.
Whether you are looking to become a certified teacher of this timeless wisdom or simply want to immerse yourself in the remarkable teachings from yoga in order to take your life to the next level, The Shanti Yoga Health Institute provides you with a powerful platform for growth, healing, and personal development.
Shanti Yoga thoroughly grounds students in the classical tradition of yoga, and brings these teachings into relevance for the twenty-first century world. It is a living, thinking, tradition and culture based upon immutable, natural laws that instigates life education. The curricula is grounded in the oldest yogic scriptures, from the Vedas and Upanishads through to Maharishi Patanjali, Shankacharya, Ramakrishna, Ramana Maharashi and contemporary thinkers Swami Vivekananda, Mohandas Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, and Shanti Gowans. These have been passed directly from teachers to student for thousands of years, delivering an authentic lineage. Blending the timeless Vedic cosmology and philosophy, with asana, breath work, chakra and kundalini development, concentration and meditation into life guidance with your spiritual purpose, this remarkable training will take your understanding into consciously living the true principles of yoga.
Traditionally yoga was not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred from a yoga master to their student, along the upanishadic lines. Attunement arises after a student sits beside the teacher for classes and practice. Yoga is not dependent on one’s intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. Work on your heart and do things from the quiet space within you. Anyone can access yoga, because it begins within yourself.
Whether you are looking to become a certified teacher of this timeless wisdom or simply want to immerse yourself in the remarkable teachings from yoga in order to take your life to the next level, The Shanti Yoga Health Institute provides you with a powerful platform for growth, healing, and personal development.
The relationship with yoga is a lifelong one.
You will never stop being a student of yoga.
Many lifetimes of study and practice have led you here.
When you are ready for the next step in your learning, you will start to share and teach its practices.
Teaching is much deeper than simply instructing a class or sharing information.
Shanti Gowans
