About Shanti Yoga
Shanti Yoga is a long-established yoga, meditation and Ayurvedic wellness centre in Southport, founded by globally recognised teacher and author Shanti Gowans. The focus here is on gentle, healing yoga rather than high-intensity flow, making it accessible to beginners, older students and those carrying long-term injuries who want a practice that meets them where they are.
Students describe a nurturing, spiritually grounded environment that genuinely delivers on the idea of yoga as more than exercise. Classes weave in mindfulness, breathwork and deep relaxation, and the teaching shifts the focus from what you think you should be able to do toward what you can do, and celebrates it.
Alongside regular classes, the centre is well known for its immersive retreats, from weekend programs to longer residential stays covering meditation, gut-health detox and plant-based cooking, as well as Ayurvedic treatments and teacher training. It is a strong fit for anyone seeking a restorative, holistic approach to yoga and wellbeing in a calm, supportive setting.
