wisdom, our school offers an immersive environment where Yoga is experienced not just as a practice, but as a way of life.

Our Lineage

Shiva Kaivalya Yoga is deeply rooted in the classical yogic traditions of India, drawing from the profound teachings of Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, and Tantra, while also integrating insights from modern anatomical and therapeutic sciences. Our approach honors the Guru-Shishya parampara (teacher-disciple lineage), where knowledge is transmitted through direct experience, guided by wisdom and grace.

The term “Kaivalya”, drawn from the ancient Yogic texts, refers to absolute freedom and liberation—the highest goal of Yoga. Our teachings are designed to move students toward this inner freedom, through disciplined practice, self-inquiry, and embodied wisdom.
