Welcome to Shantaya!

The Sanskrit word shantaya translates as 'full of peace' or 'realm of peace' or peacefulness. It is found in Anusara's opening invocation seen on the left panel. We chose this because it is something everyone is looking for in some way or another - and too, it seems difficult to achieve in the complexity of 21st century living. 

At Shantaya we utilize a variety of therapeutic tools such as yoga, bodywork, and other self-discovery methods to help create an environment that has the potential to cultivate more well-being, happiness and freedom. In other words - less confusion, pain and suffering and more of what we really want in our lives.


Looking closely at nature, found all around us

The sky above us takes on various faces at different times, and so do we. Likewise, a balanced lifestyle or sadhana (spiritual practice) is dynamic and accommodates the needs of any particular situation. Remaining open to whatever presents itself in any given moment is the key.


awakens an appreciation of it's unlimited diversity

All humans possess the innate power to unlock the secrets of a more satisfying life. We welcome you to join us in the co-creation of life-enhancing practices, self-discovery, and play. Join us any time!

With respect and much joy,

Jonas Westring & Shantaya Team
