Shiva Shanti Yoga School

Maha Shivaratri is a sacred night of stillness, reflection, and inner awakening.
It honors Shiva as the force of transformation—reminding us that true power is found not in action, but in deep awareness.

On this night, we turn inward, quiet the mind, and release what no longer serves us. Through meditation, breath, and presence, we align with clarity, balance, and the vast silence within.

May this Shivaratri support your practice, illuminate your path, and guide you back to your own inner light.

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Virabadrasana One - Born of fire and purpose, the warrior stands rooted, steady, and awake.
Strength aligned with humility.
Power guided by service.

Palms together, elbows straight, gaze lifted —
I stand as a reminder that true warriors protect life,
they do not destroy it.

Peace is not weakness.
It is discipline.
It is restraint.
It is strength refined.
