At Shanti Yoga Center, we believe in preserving and sharing the authentic essence of yoga through four fundamental principles that guide our teaching methodology and practice.
Our yoga practices originate from the sacred Himalayan mountains of Nepal, the birthplace of many ancient yogic traditions. The pristine environment of the Himalayas has nurtured the development of yoga for thousands of years, creating a pure lineage of knowledge passed down through generations of masters.
This direct connection to the source ensures that our teachings maintain the energetic imprint and spiritual potency that can only come from practices developed in the cradle of yoga itself. Our founder, Guru Yogi Prakash, brings these authentic Himalayan teachings directly to Finland.
We honor and preserve the traditional aspects of yoga that have been practiced for centuries. Our approach integrates classical texts like the Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and Tantric scriptures, maintaining the philosophical depth and spiritual wisdom that defines authentic yoga.
Unlike modern adaptations that often focus solely on physical postures, our traditional approach encompasses all eight limbs of yoga, including ethical principles (yamas and niyamas), breath control (pranayama), meditation (dhyana), and the pursuit of higher consciousness (samadhi).
Our teaching methodology follows a systematic progression that respects the natural development of the practitioner. We begin with foundational practices that prepare the body and mind, gradually introducing more advanced techniques as the student evolves.
This step-by-step approach ensures safe and sustainable growth, allowing practitioners to build a solid foundation before advancing to more complex practices. Each element of yoga—from asana to pranayama to meditation—is introduced in a carefully structured sequence that optimizes learning and transformation.
We embrace yoga as a comprehensive system for total well-being that addresses all dimensions of human existence. Our holistic approach integrates physical practices (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation, mantra, philosophy, and lifestyle guidance.
This complete system creates harmony between body, mind, and spirit, leading to balanced development and profound transformation. By practicing holistic yoga, students experience benefits that extend far beyond physical fitness, touching every aspect of their lives and relationships.
