‘Shiva Shakti’ Therapeutic Workshop for Holistic Living

“Once, a young woman, who was visiting the ashram for the first time, entered the class. The instructor welcomed and explained to her that there would be a regular class for women in a few days, with more rigorous work. The visitor stayed for the entire session and as we walked together after the class, she asked me, whether she would be able to stay in this class as this is was what she came to India for.” – Nandita, U.S.A

“The Shiva Shakti 5-Day course was a very healing experience for me. It was led by an expert yoga teacher and the focus on prayer before and during each pose helped enormously, as one of my goals was to start loving yoga. And so it appealed to the devotional aspect in me which would prevent the practice becoming dry, dull or boring.

I hope this course is offered often each year, as not everyone who does yoga aims to wrap their legs around their heads and do the most challenging and complicated poses. The therapeutic poses, using props like chairs, give confidence to those not wishing to injure themselves or who have injuries.

The course was methodically taught and it certainly challenged me enough so that, by the end of the course, my body felt the tremendous benefit. Thank you, Shobhana.” – Victor, Germany

“Firstly, the teacher was amazing! Her voice was loud, soft, and gently and humbly Humanistic!!!

It was the perfect bridge between my foundation reconnection of faith in my practice of yoga. Perfect unification for the body mind and heart. I will appreciate to have a paper of the mudras. But I am sure I can find it later! I loved meditation on the beach!” – Fanny Claire Anne Proux

“I came to the program to learn to find internal balance and seek direction and clarity for my life journey. In these last few days, I have learned a new program of asanas and chants that have helped to rebalance and find the peace and bliss I am seeking.” – Adora Chew Siddhi

“Many years ago, I learned Iyengar yoga, which taught me perfect alignments in yoga asanas and how to use the mind to go beyond the limitations of the body. But I did not learn how to uproot the deeply rooted pain in my thoracic spine that I already knew had something to do with fear. Approaching this fear and other tensions was beautifully made possible through the “5-Day Shiva Shakti Therapeutic Workshop at Amritapuri. Integrating yoga asanas with the values like acceptance, patience, unity and compassion with the help of vedic mantras, mudras and visualisation was a powerful experience. In that gentle, loving space created letting go became a beautiful dance.” – Pushpa, Finland

“Amma talks about the necessity of the feminine element in the world today, within both men and women. The non-competitive nature of Amrita Therapeutic Yoga accepts all levels of flexibility without a trace of judgment or comparison. The instructor’s intuitive and sensitive teaching of this class is inspiring and exciting for the future of the Amrita Yoga System, which I see as Amma’s gift to us.” – Veena, a long term resident of Amritapuri
