Shiva Yoga draws on ancient yogic traditions, bringing the wisdom of
the inner Self into every aspect of life. Among the main practices are yoga,
meditation, chanting and self-inquiry. Through these practices we learn to
directly connect with our own higher Consciousness, which is free, wise
and powerful. This contact with the divine energy of our inner Self
opens us to self-acceptance, contentment and joy.
Swami Dayananda (Nancy Jackson), the Director of Lokananda Retreat
Centre and the Adelaide Shiva
Yoga, was initiated into yoga and meditation in the ’70s by the
late siddha master, Baba Muktananda Paramahamsa. She later continued
her training under the guidance of Swami
Shankarananda (Swamiji). Dayananda is a
well-known speaker and writer on yoga, meditation and well being.
Co-Director Ma Jan Chaitanya has been instrumental in supporting
programs and creating Lokananda.
Mahamandeleshwar Swami Shankarananda (Swamiji) is the author of the Australian classic
on meditation, Happy for No Good Reason and other books on the philosophy and
practice of yoga. He is the director of the Shiva Ashram in Mt Eliza, near
Melbourne, amidst a thriving and vibrant spiritual community.
