Shanti Yoga Center Finland, is the spiritual child of
Shanti Yoga Ashram in Nepal, and has been
established 4.3.2024. We are happy to teach
tantra yoga in the way as it has been taught for
thousands of years in the Himalayas.
We are in continous contact with Shanti Yoga Ashram to develop our teachings and provide you with interesting courses and teachings.
Tantra Yoga is a practice integrating the different
Yoga systems of: Hatha Yoga, Astanga Yoga, Mantra
Yoga, Kundalini and Kriya Yoga and Shiva Shakti Yoga.
Starting from the physical body, slowly deepening
the different awareness levels, and turning deeper
inside ourselves awakening the dormant energy
centers.
What differs asana from exercise is the
synchronization of; movement, breath and
awareness. We become aware of the physical body,
prana (life energy), nadis, chakras and inner sounds.
Lastly, the mental repetition of mantra will be applied
on top, making it into a Tantric practice.
We learn how to become aware of the subtle energy
centers, and how to unlock and circulate the energy,
to transform the energy into spiritual light, used for
the upliftment of ourselves, and all around.
Our focus is not on performing advanced asanas by
forcing the body, rather we want to introvert and find
comfort in the same position for a longer period of
time, to generate the energy and unlock one's full
potential. It’s a meditative journey!
We are teaching the same integral tantra yoga Shiva
once tought to Parvati 10.000 years ago.

Nepal. It’s a combination of Tantra Yoga as taught by Swami Nirajananda,

Nepalese Tantra to his disciple Yogi Prakash, or Guruji, as he is known, the
founder of Shanti Yoga Ashram.
Nepal is the land of Tantra, where Shiva himself taught this science to his other
half, Parvati. It has been preserved in its pure form from Guru to disciple ever
since. It is our intention to transmit this wealth of knowledge, through adapted
practices and providing a good structural means for conducive learning and
integration.

to Bihar Yoga School where he was initiated by Swami
Niranjanananda Saraswati. Returning later back to Nepal,

studying Kundalini and Tantra yoga with Swami
Shivalingam for the next twelve years.

WHAT MAKES OUR TANTRA TEACHER TRAINING SPECIAL?

expression.
Moving beyond the physical aspect of yoga, however important, we place utmost importance on
transmitting authentic yoga in all its fullness and glory, so that you may develop your own inner
capacity of true yoga. It is upon this foundation of spiritual strength and wisdom that a genuine
yoga teacher may emerge. We aim to provide you with the foundational building blocks needed

TANTRA'S FIVE YOGA SYSTEM
Tantra yoga starts with the gross level, the body, and gradually transitions to the
most subtle level, consciousness. This teaching system offers the evolutionary
process from Hatha yoga, meditation through the body, to Ashtanga yoga, meditation
through the mind, to Mantra yoga, meditation through sound vibrations, to Kundalini
yoga, meditation through the chakras, and ultimately to Shiva-Shakti yoga, meditation
through the internal masculine and feminine energies.
This teacher training is designed to take you deeply into
the essence of yoga, while providing the space for
personal growth.
The spiritual depth of this course is naturally conducive
to self-empowerment and inner transformation. Every
student is respected on his/her personal path and
encouraged to cultivate their own unique expression.
May the journey begin...
