Shanti Gowans
Founder of Shanti Yoga™
A warm welcome to all growth-minded individuals seeking to awaken the intelligence of the body and mind, enhance healing, restoration and a safe return to vibrant living.
At Shanti Yoga, you explore your inner landscape and open the door to your inner sanctuary and your source. By nurturing your sensitivity to grow strong and tender, you find your way back to wholeness.
Here, you become more aware of the beauty and miraculousness of reality, life, and being human—all of which can be experienced right now. Here, peace is not a goal to achieve outside yourself, but a deep human quality that can be cultivated from within you.
Shanti Yoga is transformational education that brings authentic teachings for an awakened world. Open and available for all, it encompasses the inner work, the outer work, the interpersonal work, and a radical commitment to a new way of being in the planet to confront our civilisation crisis. Becoming a part of the Shanti Yoga Community, you will receive the benefits from our 5+ decades of dedication to sharing the accumulated wisdom gained from Yoga, Ayurveda and Meditation to empower your mind, body and energy.
May you be safe, healthy, happy and live with ease. Namaste.
NEW YEAR'S DETOX.
Experience the ancient powers of Ayurveda and start the new year with a transformation.
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.
Shanti Gowans is the globally recognised author and founder of Shanti Yoga™, Meditation and Ayurveda for the self, family and community. She has brought the concepts and practices of a healthy body and a still mind to thousands of Australians through her Yoga and Meditation programs. Shanti's books, downloadable audio files, DVDs and CDs are available to purchase online and at Southport Centre.
