Why Shiva Rishi Yoga School?


Shiva is committed to your journey of yoga. His life is dedicated to the practice of yoga, and he lives the true life of a yogi. With Shiva Rishi Yoga School, you will find an authentic, grounded, true practice, one that can carry you into deeper sadhana (practice). With Shiva, you will learn in-depth asanas, and go beyond into yogic philosophy, pranayama, Ayurveda – techniques that will lead you within to a healthy life, and external balance with the world. 

Our practice follows in the footsteps of our dear gurus, Swami Sarasvati Satyananda, Swami Sivanada, Swami Vivekananda, Adi Shankara, the sages of the Vedic tradition, as well as Samkya yoga philosophy, Swara yoga teaching (the ancient science of breathing), nondualism, tantric traditions, and the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism. “The more energy you spend in serving others, the more divine energy will flow into you” -Swami Satyananda

Your support and dedication to the path of yoga is much appreciated. Shiva Rishi Yoga is located in beautiful Kerala, South India, with an additional school in Dharamshala, in the Himalayas. Shiva started this school in 2012.

Testimonials

  • Claire from the UK

    "Unforgettable and life changing experience. Highly recommend Shiva Rishi Yoga School. You come away with so much more than a teaching certificate - the personal growth and development that you go through while on the course is huge, and your physical strength is impacted so much. It was lovely seeing myself progress on a physical level while being pushed and taught by Shiva but of course it isn’t just about that. It’s such a beautiful, powerful and impacting spiritual journey. Shiva is a great teacher with a beautiful heart, he has an amazing sense of humor which I loved seeing each day.”

  • Jordan from the U.S.

    “Truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I couldn’t be happier that I chose this school. All of the teachers are very knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely want you to learn and succeed in your yoga path. I have such a deeper understanding of yoga and the philosophy around it. I honestly feel that shiva would be willing to run this school even if it only broke even. He is truly in it for the students."

  • Mirko from Italy

    "A yoga school for life. My yoga teacher training with Siva further opened my eyes on what yoga truly is. It had a tremendous impact on my spiritual path and helped me develop a sincere intention to spread the wisdom of yoga. Shiva is very talented in prompting everyone's reflections on how to bring yoga teaching into everyday life. He has fully dedicated his life to yoga and his passion will amaze you! All teachers at Shiva Rishi Yoga School are great masters in all aspects of yoga. I can only recommend this school for your professional and personal development!”
