Our purpose is to assist people in the understanding and experience of their true nature through the practice of yoga and immersion in a yogic lifestyle. Our tools are classical hatha yoga taught with an emphasis on breath awareness, chanting and meditation to quiet the mind, and yogic therapies to help relax the body and mind so that we can experience the natural happiness within.

Our 3-week 200 hour teacher training certifications include online home-study so that you can get started right away.
The Shambhava School of Yoga was founded over 30 years ago by Rishi Maha Mandaleshwar Sri Shambhavananda. Shambhava Yoga draws from the rich tapestry of yogic teachings to explain how to use the circumstances of our own lives to grow consciously.
The term Shambhava refers to the natural state of being that exists within and that can be experienced through the practices of yoga. Shambhava Yoga encompasses the following elements:
- Breath-focused hatha yoga to help us relax, open and align with more subtle flow of energy
- Meditation practices to bring clarity, focus and the release of psychic tension
Sanskrit chanting and kirtan to cultivate joy, harmony and inter-connection with others
- Cultivation of conscious awareness, openness to growth and dedication to selfless service
