Your Peaceful Escape into the Heart of Yoga
Here at Shivalaya Yoga Ashram, the school of teachings has its roots in ancient yoga philosophy and an unbroken spiritual lineage handed down over generations.
We follow the Himalayan yoga tradition as a way of life, not just a practice. The ancient yogic texts and classical philosophies guide seekers on a path toward inner peace, self-realization, and harmony.
Ancient Texts That Inspire Our Teachings:
- Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras – the substrate and basis of the eight-limbed path for Raja Yoga
- Bhagavad Gita – lessons on karma yoga, devotion (bhakti), and inner strength
- Hatha Yoga Pradipika – practices for balancing body, breath, and energy
Our ashram follows the ‘living and learning in presence‘ model, inspired by the ancient tradition where students lived and learned under the guidance of experienced teachers. Here, pure knowledge is passed directly from teacher to student, just as it was in traditional yogic learning.
Core Yogic Values Leading Our Life:
- Ahimsa (non-violence) = nurturing peace and compassion
- Satya (truthfulness) = living authentically and honestly
- Tapas = burning away their dross and developing inside strength and focus
Our inheritance is not tied to a single name or identity—it holds the timeless essence of Himalayan yoga, carried into the hearts of seekers around the world.
At Shivalaya Yoga Ashram, we continue this sacred tradition, where students don’t just learn yoga—they understand it, experience it, and live it fully through body, mind, and spirit.
