    So grateful and happy I was lead to this place. Shanti Yoga is traditional and so transformative. Shanti has a calming way about her that is so welcoming. She explains everything clearly and has a wealth of knowledge in all aspects of yoga. She really cares about her students and goes out of her way to make sure that everyone is catered for. It's so much more than a physical practice (Asana) and goes much deeper into a rooted, holistic understanding of Yoga, pranayama and Meditation, the subtle body and Ayurveda. You begin to learn the tools to live a life full of peace with the authentic understanding of the ancient practices. Shanti is one of a kind! This is not a yoga place to be seen at, it is a yoga place you can be yourself at, no matter who you are, what you look or dress like and no matter what your experience level. Just attend one of her yoga classes and you will be totally hooked. Shanti’s yoga is so, empowering and a complete awakening of the soul, its spiritual liberation and liberation of the body. You will feel like an enlightened being after being to just one of her classes. 10 Stars out of 5

    Oh I just loved this place. It was like walking into somewhere in India. I had the most incredible massage with Helena, she was so kind and friendly, very informative and her massage was bliss. Would recommend 100%

    A lot of people talk about yoga as a 'spiritual practice'. Shanti and her teachers really deliver on that promise. Shanti Yoga is accessible - even with long-term injuries - and shifts the focus from 'what I should be able to do' to 'what I can do'... and celebrates that. I live south of Sydney so don't get to attend classes regularly. I do my utmost to get to the Gold Coast once or twice a year to spend time on the mat and time on retreat, enjoying the amazing vegetarian, ayurvedic meals, insightful discussions and the peace and serenity on offer. I found the Yoga Teacher Training challenging as it's a course in leadership and self understanding... not just how to teach a class. It remains one of the most valuable experiences of my life.

    I have been associated with Shantiji at Shanti Yoga for over 20 years, and during that time, one of the most important lessons I have learnt from Shantiji is the power of the mind. 18 months ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, a lumpectomy was performed and the lymph nodes that were removed were found to be clear of cancer. 18 months on, the cancer has not returned. By refusing to have the usual therapies and using the power of my mind to tell myself that the cancer was gone, I am now free of cancer and know it will not return. It was scary, but I knew I was following the right path. Thank you Shantiji for teaching me to have courage in my conviction and to follow it through.

    After researching Yoga Gold Coast I found Shanti Yoga. Not only does Shanti in my opinion offer the best holistic healing service, I also found the center to have the best price which is very refreshing. Being a business owner with a few health issues I am very relieved after only 1 week I am back at work and am very impressed with Shanti Yoga.

LEARNING & RESOURCES

Short Courses and Learning Resources

Ayurvedic principles help to create harmony in the body, mind and spirit, thereby prolonging life and eliminating the causes of disease and dysfunction.
The microcosm and macrocosm reflect each other
Every cause has an effect…and every effect has a cause
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Like increases like
A quality is decreased by its opposite quality
There is no pain in the body without vata, no inflammation in the body without pitta and no oedema in the body without kapha
Balance and health for each individual is unique – one size / treatment / medicine / regime etc does not fit all.

Timeless Wisdom for your Life

Every age has its teachers who keep the eternal truths alive for all of us. The spiritual practice of yoga off the mat and into the world as espoused by Shanti Gowans is the light that empowers us to change from the inside out, to live the peace we want to see in the world, and to marry the deep mystical teachings of our essential unity with our awakening. True spirituality is love in action. When you view humanity’s challenges through the lens of your soul and make love the real work of your life, you illuminate your inner sky.

Chanting embraces the healing power of sound. Over time, chanting has commanded great respect among yogis of the past, and it is often considered amongst one of the most important yoga practices. Chanting, by the recitation of mantras, assists in bringing the mind to a state of complete attention and can be a powerful tool to assist in healing and transformation.
