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, the founder and chairman of Shanti Yoga Ashram, began studying yoga at the age of 12. After having complete a teacher training course at Bihar Yoga University in India and being initiated by Niranjanananda Saraswati, he then returned to Nepal, the Land of Tantra. Pursuing his passion for yoga, he spent the next twelve years studying Kundalini and Tantra yoga with Swami Shivalingam.
It always has been a dream for him to open a school and it is in 2001 that he created Shanti Yoga Ashram, a place dedicated to share the authentic yogic experience and the original Tantra teachings which are passed from lineage to lineage. Read his bio here.

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.

Each month, during 3 days we introduce you to the yogic cleansing techniques known at Shatkarmas. It is an opportunity for us to clean our whole system (from intestine to stomatch to nostril) in order to allow the energy flows more easily. Along with this practice, we will do special yoga classes and ayurveda nutrition to support the cleaning.
Next dates: From the 3th to the 6th of every month |
During this 7 day program we will dedicate one day to activate each of the 7 chakras with the help of various yogic techniques. The result will be a light energized body full of prana shakti, a crystal clear state of mind unlike you’ve experienced before and a pure blissful state of consciousness.
Next dates: Apr 2019, 23th to 30th Oct 2019, 20th to 27th |
Sexual energy is the foundation of life, it is the most powerful energy that human beings have. But most of the time this energy is misused which can cause blockages and imbalances in our sexual energy. One of the purpose of Tantra Yoga is to teach us how to free and sublimate this sexual energy to reach our full potential.
Next dates: May 2019, 4th to 11th Nov 2019, 1st to 8th |
