SHIVANTHI SRI RANJAN

Shivanthi began yoga classes at Still Lake Yoga Center in 2002 hoping to get some relief for stiff joints caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Not only did she accomplish that, but after many years of dedicated study she became a certified yoga teacher in 2013. She has been teaching at the center ever since.

She follows the Sivananda tradition and believes that a yoga program should encompass the whole yogic philosophy and include pranayama (special breathing exercises), asanas (postures), relaxation, meditation, inner focus and mindfulness. She endeavors to make her yoga classes accessible to people with varying abilities and believes that consistent practice of all aspects of yoga brings tremendous benefits physically, mentally & spiritually.

She teaches Gentle Yoga and Yoga for All.
