About Shambhava Yoga & Meditation

Eldorado Mountain Yoga Ashram, home of the Shambhava School of Yoga, is an oasis of spiritual energy where you can deeply nourish your body, mind and spirit. The ashram and school were created from the vision and commitment of its founder, Sri Shambhavananda, a big-hearted yogi, dedicated to nurturing the seeds of spiritual growth in all who come.

Shambhava Yoga is yoga from the heart. Our philosophy is that the practices we learn here apply to our everyday life. Life's circumstances are fuel for our spiritual growth. The goal of Shambhava Yoga is to be able to be fully engaged in our life's arena while simultaneously experiencing the nectar of divinity within.

Shambhava Yoga has its roots in Kasmir Shaivism, which views the entire universe as a manifestation of Pure Consciousness. This Divine Consciousness, or Shiva, is the very same 'sat-chit-ananda' (being/consciousness/bliss) that yogis of all traditions have aspired to realize. In Shambhava Yoga, Self-Realization is simply a matter of recognizing that we already are and always have been Shiva-it is a path of recognizing our true nature. It is this inner self that we meditate upon, that we open to, and ultimately that we recognize our identity with, through the practice of yoga.
