About us

Welcome to YogaShaanthi – Where Healing Meets Awareness

At YogaShaanthi, we are dedicated to fostering holistic well-being through the powerful integration of classical yoga, therapeutic insight, and mental-emotional balance.

Our founder, Shanthi Vijaya, brings together the wisdom of yoga and the precision of medical science. She holds State First Rank in both Community Health Nursing and Medical-Surgical Nursing, reflecting her deep understanding of the human body and compassionate care.

A certified Yoga Siromani and Yoga Acharya from the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, Shanthi is also a Yog Prashikshak (Certified Instructor) and Life Member of the Indian Yoga Association. She has been a disciple of senior Acharyas in the Sivananda lineage and has over 15 years of self-practice and 6+ years of teaching experience.

She teaches both online and onsite, guiding students from across the UK, US, Canada, Dubai, Singapore, and India. Her style is rooted in the Sivananda tradition with a therapeutic, inclusive approach that adapts to each individual’s journey.

Her expertise extends to teaching Anatomy and Physiology at Sivananda Teacher Training Courses (TTCs) at ashrams in Nettala (Uttarkashi), Neyyar Dam (Kerala), and Gudur (Andhra Pradesh), bringing together medical knowledge and yogic wisdom in service of future yoga teachers.

Shanthi has conducted corporate wellness workshops for organisations like RBI and Ramco Cements, and finds deep fulfilment in teaching yoga to deaf and mute children, making yoga accessible beyond words.

Our Vision at YogaShaanthi

We believe that well-being is not just physical, but includes the mind, emotions, and spirit. At YogaShaanthi, we offer life-enriching programs, especially for women, blending traditional yogic tools with compassionate, real-world understanding.

Each class is a journey into self-discovery, healing, and inner strength. Our mission is to help individuals awaken to their true potential, cultivating balance, resilience, and clarity within.

Step into your journey of transformation at YogaShaanthi.
Let this be your space for calm, connection, and conscious living.
