SHANTI YOGA
A moment of stillness in a busy world

An invitation to pause, and rediscover the stillness of being
"Yoga is the stilling of movement in the mind." — Patanjali 1:2

Founder of Shanti Yoga™
A gentle pause, just for you, just to be…
Life today can feel like a constant rush of endless to-do lists and noise, leaving little space to breathe. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the busyness of life and craving stillness, clarity, and calmness, here is your invitation to be held, supported, and nourished as you return to your body, your mind, yourself.
My mini-yoga retreats, on Monday at 9:30am-12:30pm, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, at 10:30am-1:30pm are a beautiful three-hour homecoming experience designed to help you slow down, clear your mind, and reconnect with what truly matters. You will leave feeling grounded, with a sense of calmness to carry back into your everyday life.
What you will experience:
- A Nurturing Space: A safe environment to breathe, reflect, and recharge.
- Gentle Yoga and Mindfulness: Restorative practices to ease your body and quiet your mind through supportive movement.
- Deep Rest: Dedicated time to allow your nervous system to reset.
- Connection: Uninterrupted time to reconnect with yourself in a warm, welcoming environment, followed by a comforting moment of simple pleasure.
Feel welcome to make this a part of your regular practice by joining as a monthly or annual member, or simply by dropping in.
We look forward to holding this space for you.
May you be safe, healthy, happy and live with ease. Namaste.

GUT HEALTH DETOX
"Living Healthier Longer."
Be well. Discover a conscious and balanced way of life with the healing trifecta: Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation. Delicious food, Ayurvedic herbs and Lifestyle practices bring about simple shifts, natural healing, and lasting balance.
Ayurveda is a system of living built upon 5000 years of enduring wisdom. Think of it as a compass that orients your clear path to a state of balanced body, mind and spirit.
Toxins don’t just affect one part of the body, they disrupt your energy, immune system, and even your ability to think clearly. If left unchecked, they can lead to chronic health issues that many people accept as “normal.” But they don’t have to be.
Take the first step towards reclaiming the energy, mental clarity, vitality and overall health, you deserve. This isn’t just a detox, it’s a transformation. Imagine feeling that unmistakable glow, from the inside out, while seeing visible changes in the mirror.
Shanti Gowans books and audio recordings are available to puchase online, so that you can learn and practice in the comfort of your own home.
