Welcome to Shanti Yoga, Gold Coast

Transformative, healing YOGA and sacred rest. AYURVEDIC treatments, practices, medicines that will change your life.
Peace of mind MEDITATION. Friendly COMMUNITY of connection.

At Shanti Yoga, we explore our inner landscape together, opening the door to our inner sanctuary and our source. We nurture our sensitivity to grow strong and tender as we find our way back to wholeness.
 
Here, we become more aware of the beauty and miraculousness of reality, life, and being human—all of which can be experienced right now. Here, peace is not a goal to achieve outside ourselves, but a deep human quality that we can cultivate from within.
 
Shanti Yoga is about bringing authentic teachings for an awakened world.  Transformational education that is open and available for all: the inner work, the outer work, the interpersonal work, and the radical commitment to a new way of being in the planet confronting our civilisation crisis. We welcome all growth-minded individuals to awaken your intelligence of the body and mind. To enhance healing, restoration and a safe return to vibrant living. 
 
Becoming a part of the Shanti Yoga Community, you will receive the benefits from our 5+ decades of dedication to sharing the accumulated wisdom gained from Yoga, Ayurveda and Meditation to empower your mind, body and energy.
 
Namaste.

    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.
