The Shanti Yoga Health Institute is a holistic, psycho-spiritual, health education centre. You learn and practice the why, what, when and how
  • to breath
  • to exercise and stretch
  • to relax
  • to think positively and creatively
  • to cook and be healthy
  • to dance
  • to design, draw and paint
  • to contemplate

We aim to support you in high thinking, with an objective perspective on your stresses and tensions and to realise that relief is possible and coupled with release. 

At the end of the day, our ailments are largely self-invited and self-engendered. They have their roots in a pressured lifestyle, poor choices with food, exercise, hygiene, attitude, goals, relationships and expectations thereof, and our stories. In our dissemination of health knowledge, we encourage you to avoid substance abuse and other measures which interfere with the integrity of your body-mind-spirit complex and to trust the healing and resorative power of nature and your own essential nature. “Freedom from the known“ (J. Krishnamurthy) arises from losing all stories. There is wisdom that is beyond knowledge and ignorance. Your search for Truth ends there where you are.
