The Health Institute Yoga Teacher Training

Yoga is one of the oldest mind-body healing modalities known to humankind. It originated in India over five thousand years ago. That it is still being practiced and growing speaks for its efficacy and for the truth of the principles upon which it is based.

Shanti Yoga thoroughly grounds students in the classical tradition of yoga. It is a living, thinking tradition and culture based upon immutable, natural laws that instigates life education. Teachings are grounded in the oldest yoga scriptures, delivering an ancient authentic lineage. These have been passed directly from teachers to student for thousands of years.

The relationship with yoga is a lifelong one. You will never stop being a student of yoga. When you are ready for the next step in your learning, you will start to teach its practices.

Whether you are interested in learning more about yoga or would like to become a yoga teacher, change your life, and live your dream, Shanti Yoga is for you. There are few yoga training programs today that measure up to the quality, authenticity and comprehensiveness of this training. It is by far the most well developed and in-depth exploration of yoga available today. It offers a system of yoga that represents the science and spirituality of unity, authored by yoga master Shanti Gowans, uniting the 'outer' methods (the physical postures and breath) with the traditional 'inner' methods (cultivating the ethical restraints and commitments, meditation and wisdom) into a powerful synthesis, restoring to yoga the complete set of 'limbs' of Patanjali's eight-limbed (ashtanga) path. These teachings help us understand the unveil the nature of yoga and evoke our sacred, eternal presence. They show us how to voice and act upon universal, timeless truths, how to embody the quality of discernment, clarity, support, love and enjoy the creative possibilities.
