Welcome to Shanti Yoga Ashram
We welcome you to discover how Shanti Yoga Ashram can lead you deep into the purity of your heart, the hidden peace of your mind and the natural blissfulness of your spirit. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas with a picturesque view, less than one hour from Kathmandu, Shanti Yoga Ashram is the perfect sanctuary to go deeply into the essence of yoga.
Who are we?
Shanti Yoga Ashram is a place where the ancient teachings of Tantra Yoga gets preserved in their original state, as taught by Shiva to Parvati. Nowadays you can find yoga everywhere around the world. However, to reach the ultimate goal, all different aspects of yoga should get combined together and the complete lifestyle should be implemented. Yoga is more than just the practice of asana, which is just the starting point. In tantra yoga one starts at the body level and gradually explores the deeper level of his being.
Most people know that the meaning of the word “Yoga” is “union”. But actually, the path of yoga, is a process of separation. This seems to be a total contradiction, but it is not. One separates awareness from the mind and body. Only when this separation and difference is personally experienced, one can know the truth. It is experiencing that beyond your mind and senses, you are a loving awareness.. You are higher consciousness experiencing itself. Through the practice of yoga you can get a spark of the divine. And this is just a spark of it, since our bodies are too limited to experience the supreme. But this single spark is enough to open the heart and understand life from a higher platform.
In the ashram we offer the environment and the tools to grow together as a spiritual family. We can bring the horse to the water, but we cannot make the horse drink. Therefore, this is the right place for you if you experience a deep longing inside to know more about the truths of life and want to experience the life of a true sadhaka, implementing yoga in every aspect of one’s daily life.
Our ashram differs from other spiritual places since our interest is not in having hundreds of students. Instead we are aiming on making an environment where the true dedicated ones can grow and open their hearts to bring out their inner potential and get established on the yogic path, to eventually spread this wisdom to the rest of the world.
The guru is creating this environment out of his deep desire and duty to preserve the ancient teachings and spread it around the world to uplift humanity and release suffering.
