WELCOME to the Shanti Yoga School Ltd web site, redesigned in September 2007.

A new book by Andy Thomas: YOGA - How and Why it Works, is now available to purchase and download as an eBook. All proceeds from the sales are donated to the Kenya Kids Project.  For more details select Books from the menu on the right .

The decision has been taken to formally publish the book . This will be available on Amazon around the end of 2008 but I hesitate to suggest that anyone would want to receive it as a Christmas present!!. The proceeds will still go to the same worthy project--the Calvary Zion Childrens Home started by a wonderful African woman who has just emailed me to say that they are celebrating 10 years of being -on 29th November 2008.

Within these pages you will find statements about the yoga courses being run. We intend to transmit to you what type of people we are and our attitudes, ethics and ways of going on! This is to enable you to decide if we are your kind of people, before you let us know of your interest in our courses.  We have been transparent and open and frank about ourselves, in the belief that you will be much more likely to do well with our school if you have understood this . It may be that what we write decides that we are not for you-so this will also have served a useful purpose!

The web site, whilst essentially existing to inform you about the courses offered, has evolved over its short life, to be much more than this. So we have taken the old web site and redesigned it completely to incorporate medical pages, cases studies, an additional course and additional teacher profiles. Last year we organised a yoga holiday in Spain which certainly proved to be a joyful occasion for all. So we  intend to organise further holiday courses –and of course our first retreat day was such a lovely occasion that this will also be repeated. Further details can be found in the relevant section of this web site.

There are to be three courses offered in 2008 and onwards.Now--2009 dates and changes to the course content are being posted in September 2008. Some of this has already been done--the dates for Course 1 are on the site .

During the year a few teachers discussed changes for the future and --hey presto--FULL MOVEMENT YOGA was born. This seemed to be an entirely rational development as one person said--why cant we combine the full movement method of therapy with the way we do yoga--so FMY was created. This is in essence what you would be learning if you decide to undertake Course 2 and the fmm training. There are a lot more therapists in training in our sister company--FMTSchool Ltd ., than is the case in the yoga courses. However, the most successful practioners are those who have already acquired the therapy skills and ally them with the yoga teaching skills. Please do speak with us about this.

There will be current student comments posted in the relevant course details before the end of September --with a bit of luck!!
