HEALTH INSTITUTE AUSTRALASIA

Who are we?
What do we do?


 
SHANTI GOWANS, FOUNDER & CEO

Health Institute Australasia is an Ayurveda and Yoga school founded by Shanti Gowans, creator of Shanti Yoga™.

Health Institute Australasia (HIA) is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) offering Australian Government accredited Ayurveda and Yoga studies. Based on the beautiful Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia, Health Institute Australasia welcomes both Australian and overseas students.

We offer the highest yoga qualification obtainable, not only in Australia but in the world.
 
Shanti Yoga™ has been established for 50 years with groundings, protocol and somatic techniques drawn from Eastern wisdom traditions and Western science, as well as from the latest research, a diversity of healing modalities and human spirituality that connects us to the sacred. Thus Shanti Yoga™ offers both a manifesto for self-healing and an essential guide to creating a more vibrant, authentic and joyful life.

"Unlike a myriad other paths of ‘awakening’, which start with a presumption of separation, and work directly or indirectly back to our true nature, Shanti Yoga™ starts with your true nature, and stays there. Here, in this placeless place of effortless here-and-now, your inherently peaceful and luminous nature pervades and outshines the entirety of your experience."

"The purpose of education is to culture a person’s mind so that they can accomplish all their aims in life. This education should enable you to develop within yourself the ability to make the best use of your gifts, talents, personality, surroundings, and circumstances so that you are on your way to accomplish the maximum in life for yourself – and then you can make this world available to others."

Studies at the Health Institute Australasia provide a complete, in-depth education, with a curriculum that will enable you to become knowledgeable in your chosen field of study, together with personal development as a responsible human being, fully grown in all the values of life, and established in higher consciousness and understanding.
