Adelaide Shiva Yoga Meditation Centre
About Shiva Yoga
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.
