What is Shanti Yoga?

Shanti Yoga is a dramatically different style of traditional yoga. It provides a very fine synthesis of the principles, practices and path of yoga as it is. Free from the bonds of a specific tradition, it works with the true, inherent nature of all beings, their 'primordial state', the presence which is free from all limitations and conditioning. This most clear and concise practice of Yoga does not belong to a school or religious system. Rather, it is the knowledge that a master transmits without being limited by sectarianism. Due to its direct and unelaborated approach, it transcends cultural boundaries, making it accessible to all nationalities, regardless of their spiritual background.
 
Acutely aware that much of the eastern language is an impediment to westerner's understanding, Shantiji adeptly presents the practices, philosophy and integration of body, mind and spirit a complete system of personal development and healthy living and refreshingly does not get hung up on the ego, jargon, formalities, dogma and yet delivers a par excellent, concise experience how an eastern approach to spiritual growth can transfer to the western world. 
 
To the individual today, this represents a means to greater relaxation, concentration, vitality and self discipline. Shanti Yoga methods help most in coping with the pressures of everyday living. It's gentle and easy but profoundly healing for any body, and on all levels.
