At ISYC we are dedicated to spreading Shiva Yoga globally,especially the UK, making it accessible to everybody
We are founded by Yogacharya Mohanan, a native of Kerala, South India - the home of yoga. Upon the instruction of his guru, Swami Vishnu-devananda (founder of the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres & Ashrams and disciple of Swami Sivananda, India), Yogacharya Mohanan headed to the UK and began travelling and teaching throughout Liverpool in 2003. He established the first International Shiva Yoga Center in 2005. We have trained more than 100 yoga teachers in such a short period of time and are recognized worldwide for teaching yoga authentically, preserving its purity and tradition, which dates back several thousand years.
For us yoga is a complete way of life. A healthy mind and nervous system can only live in a strong, healthy body. Yoga emphasises physical fitness: observe the laws of Health. Our aim is to promote integration of physical mental, spiritual, intellectual, emotional and natural wellbeing for everyone.
