Shiva Kaivalya Yoga

Welcome to Shiva Kaivalya Yoga (SKY) – where ancient yogic wisdom meets the pace of modern living. Founded by Shri Shiva Shankara, SKY was born out of a deep commitment to honour and preserve the sacred roots of yoga while presenting it in a way that speaks to the realities of today’s world. We believe that yoga is not just a practice—it is a complete way of living, a path to personal mastery, and ultimately, to Kaivalya—a Sanskrit term meaning absolute freedom or final liberation.
The foundation of our school lies in the grace and guidance of Adi Guru SHIVA, the primordial yogi and eternal source of spiritual knowledge. At SKY, we offer teachings that are steeped in tradition, passed down through unbroken lineages, yet made accessible for modern-day seekers. Our aim is to support individual transformation—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—through practices that harmonise body, mind, and soul.
Our centres are located in the spiritually vibrant regions of Rishikesh and Gokarna, India—places where natural beauty and sacred energy provide the perfect setting for deep inner work. Additionally, our online offerings make these teachings available globally, creating a worldwide community of dedicated practitioners.
Our Offerings:
Daily yoga classes and personalised one-on-one sessions (online)
Immersive retreats and workshops focused on traditional and holistic themes
200-Hour and 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Courses, certified by Yoga Alliance, in multi-style formats including Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Kundalini
A learning environment grounded in lineage, discipline, devotion, and compassion
We serve individuals from all backgrounds—beginners seeking a solid foundation, experienced practitioners looking to deepen their journey, and aspiring teachers who wish to share yoga with authenticity and purpose.
At Shiva Kaivalya Yoga, we don’t just teach yoga—we invite you to live it. Join us and experience yoga as a transformative path to inner clarity, spiritual awakening, and ultimate freedom—Kaivalya.
