About Shiva Rishi


At age 15 Shiva started to develop a sincere and deep devotion to God Shiva. He went into the jungle for meditation or sit at a Shiva temple near his home in the south of Kerala in India.

Out of his wish to share this devotion with other beings, he started to develop yoga techniques throughout the last 12 years. Since 5 years he is teaching classes in Varkala and Dharamsala. He wants to make yoga techniques accessible to everyone, adapting them to your individual level of experience and flexibility.

“Whether you are new on the path of yoga and selfdiscovery or are looking to deepen your existing practice, I like to take you and your understanding of the true principles of yoga and conscious living to the next level.”

Testimonials

 

Reeta

The 200-hour yoga teacher training was well-structured and truly worth the price. Shiva and the other teachers are highly professional and knowledgeable. This training goes beyond just asanas, offering deep insights into philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and overall yogic lifestyle. Classes run from Monday to Saturday, with Sundays free for rest or exploration. I stayed in a house just a 3-minute walk from the school. While my room didn’t have a balcony, there was a shared terrace, and my room was comfortable and spacious. The food was excellent—healthy, delicious sattvic meals that nourished both body and mind. The location of the school is ideal, just a short walk from the beach, and Varkala itself offers a relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend this teacher training for anyone looking for a truly immersive and holistic yoga experience – it’s a valuable investment in both knowledge and personal growth!

Doing the 200h TTC at Shiva Rishi was one of the best things I could ever experience and it’s very hard to
resume it in few words. I’m extremely fullfilled and grateful for all that I got to learn about yoga and life. All
the teachers, Ashok, Sanathanan, Anish ecc. are very passionate in sharing their knowledge with autenthicity,
and Shiva is beyond a great teacher, a great person with such a unique personality, dedicating all his time to his
students. Food is amazing (thanks to Bina) and all the ladies working at the school are incredibly kind and smiling. The location of the school is great, rounded by bautiful nature, between palm trees and just 1min walking from the beach where you can have sunset swimming everyday. I really can’t wait to be back and do my next TTC!!
Jai Shiva, Hari om tat sat✨

1. In what languages do you offer yoga classes?

All courses are in English, BUT we offer to our students a guide book that resume most of the theory classes and photos of Asanas to help you for your study and future teachings, so it should help you to have a better comprehension of theory classes. Also students tend to help each other’s.

2. What type of yoga are you teaching?

We focus on traditional Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Flow. Shiva has developed his own style, incorporating mantra with the breath. We follow ancient techniques based on Patanjali's philosophy. We believe that yoga is more than just bending and stretching; it is a path of total transformation, purifying negative tendencies through self-inquiry.

3. Do you teach Meditation ?

Yes, we do practice meditation and Pranayama everyday, it is also an important part of our teachings.

4. What food are you serving?

We offer 3 vegetarian meals per day, featuring traditional Kerala cuisine made with coconut oil. Our menu includes gluten-free dishes such as dosa (flatbread made with rice flour, similar to chapati) along with salads, fruits, beans, and a wide variety of vegetables,

Our food is served frehsly cooked and suitable for most diets and presented as a buffet. We do not use too many spices or chili, focusing more on herbs for flavor.

We accommodate special dietary needs and allergies, please let us know in advance!
