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.
Yogi Prakash, founder of Shanti Yoga Ashram, author of Tantra Yoga (The Classical Yoga); is the Guru and main teacher of the ashram. His magnanimous and humble nature combined with his great capacity to teach allows him to transmit the spiritual essence of Tantra Yoga to his students with joy and love. He inspires them by embodying yoga in his own way of life. Even before the establishment of Shanti Yoga Ashram in 2001, spiritual seekers found their way to Guruji’s front door to receive his teachings, which he generously shares with much devotion. His mission is to uplift humanity through spiritual education.
He was born in the family of the enlightened yoga master Yogi Hari Dhungana and grew up surrounded by yogic culture. For the past 10 year he has continued to deepen his knowledge in Nepal with a highly evolved Tantra yoga master, Swami Shivalingham Saraswati. For the past 20 years he has been fully dedicated to teaching yoga both at home and abroad; circling the globe teaching the deeper aspects of yoga. Click here to read full bio.

What is Tantra Yoga ?
Often misunderstood in the West, the classical Tantra Yoga is actually the root of all the Yoga. Story says that it is while Parvarti asked to Shiva the secret of immortality that Shiva taught her the science of the 5 Yogas (Mantra ; Kundalini ; Hatha ; Ashtanga and Shiva Shakti Yoga) which constitutes the classical Tantra yoga.
Tantra yoga starts with the gross level-body and gradually transitions to the subtle-level consciousness. This teaching system offers the evolutionary process from Hatha yoga, meditation through the body, to Astanga yoga, meditation through the mind, to Mantra yoga, meditation through sound, to Kundalini yoga, meditation through the chakras, and ultimately to Shiva-Shakti yoga, meditation through the internal masculine and feminine energies.
