Physically, Shanti Yoga™ presents a form of gentle, relaxing exercise, that strengthens the joints, muscles, tendons and bones, increases flexibility, stimulates the circulation of energy in the body, and enhances mental clarity. This provides the foundations for sitting meditation practice towards emotional wellbeing, peace of mind and enlightenment. Slow movements, mindful stretching, floor, sitting and standing postures, internal self-massage, yogic breath work together with meditation allow healthy individuals to maintain physical and mental wellbeing.

Each part is conducted over 52 weeks, comprising an academic year of 40 weeks’ tuition, with breaks, aligned with Queensland school terms. Each term is of 10 weeks’ duration, thus there are 12 weeks of term breaks. Attending classes is optional for students during their term breaks.
Full-time students must complete their lecture, tutorial, and class attendance within the allocated period. Online access and class attendance will terminate at the course-end date. Course extensions must be applied for within the student’s course time frame.
It is mandatory to sign off hours attended immediately after each and every attendance (class, tutorial, retreat, etc.), and student logbooks need to be kept current. They remain the property of the Institute in the student’s file for assessment validation. Some tutorials, retreats, and student activities are conducted over weekends.
The training program offers the opportunity to complete the Diploma of Yoga Teaching and/or the Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Yoga Teaching, either over a minimum of 3 years as a full-time fixed program (2 years for Diploma in Yoga Teaching) or the opportunity for distance education with flexible learning and one-weekend attendance per year at retreat, and another intensive week of training at the Institute for the second and third year of study. These are included in the fees.
