# Yoga with Shanta
Yoga with Shanta is a traditional yoga studio located in Edinburgh EH9 3AE, offering authentic Sivananda yoga classes in an intimate setting. The business caters to individuals seeking stress relief, improved flexibility, better sleep and greater mental clarity through the ancient practice of yoga.
Shanta teaches a classical approach to yoga, grounded in her training in India. Each class follows a structured format: beginning with guided relaxation (Savasana), followed by breathing exercises (Pranayama), sun salutations for warm-up, held postures (Asanas) performed with mindfulness, and concluding with deeper relaxation. This methodology encourages students to connect with their body, mind and soul whilst cultivating present-moment awareness in today's fast-paced world.
What sets Yoga with Shanta apart is the deliberately small class size, limited to five students maximum. This intimate environment allows Shanta to provide individualised attention, adjust poses for each student, and create a space where participants feel less self-conscious and more comfortable asking questions. The bright, calm studio space further enhances this personal approach, enabling students to relax fully and focus inward without distraction.
The business appeals to yoga practitioners of all levels—from complete beginners seeking to develop a mindfulness practice to experienced students wanting to deepen their understanding of traditional yoga philosophy. Student testimonials highlight the profound relaxation and improved sleep quality achieved through classes, alongside the gentle, professional teaching style that defines the experience.
