The real deal. Shiva Shankara Ipanema has a deep connection with India and provides true yoga teachings for the students. Teachers pay close attention to each and every student delivering a very customized approach. Always clean and with friendly staff.

An amazing yoga studio for those who want to deepen their practice in a mindful way. I'm preparing for getting my yoga certification training and this place is perfect. Classes are long, small amount of students per class and the teachers practice yoga with the traditional philosophies. Great place to het away from the Rio madness ;) highly recommended for intermediate or advanced levels. Staff is great and the energy is very positive.

I have nothing to complain about the service via WhatsApp or the space, which has great energy. Nor can I comment on the knowledge of the teacher, who certainly must have studied and perfected her practice for years. But it lacks didactics, patience and warmth. I went to take an experimental class and did not feel welcomed at all. Generally, when yoga practices are challenging, they are real challenges that we accept until the end. In this class, as soon as the class started, what I wanted most was to leave. And so I did!

Thank you to this school that teaches me so much, challenges me and makes me believe that between the real and the ideal there is the possible. A school distinguished by the seriousness with which it transmits its knowledge and which, in a sensitive and welcoming way, teaches us the essence of the yogic philosophy.

Studio Shiva Shankara is a space of unique physical and spiritual energy. Both for the knowledge and technique of its teachers, but also for the delivery and dedication of each one of them in the details, in the adjustments, in the guidelines. At Shiva Shankara we realize that our true challenges are in our limiting beliefs, and that our strength and overcoming lies in ourselves.

Best yoga school I've found, committed to passing on knowledge, has a lineage and tradition. Want to get to know yoga in depth? Then that's where you should go.

I took the yoga training course with Charles and Ananda and I recommend it. Place for those who really want to know what yoga is, you will learn the philosophy, mantras, postures, breathing exercises and meditation. It was an amazing experience that helped and strengthened me to change my lifestyle for the better.

I found the ideal place to practice Yoga at Shiva Shankara, precisely because there is a connection between its practical part (asanas), philosophical and spiritual. In the first class I realized this fact with all the aura that surrounds the place. The asana classes are intense, but the limitations of each student are respected. In terms of philosophy, the school gives us the opportunity to take courses such as yoga sutra, so that we can internalize the values ​​disseminated there on a daily basis. In addition, the classes feature mantra chanting and pranayama practices. The environment is one of great friendship between teachers and students, I was very well received and welcomed since I started the practice. It is certainly the most complete place, offering a glimpse of India and the roots of this ancient wisdom that is Yoga.

The Shiva Shankara is a great portal. I discovered yoga through Shiva, with Professor Charles, 15 years ago and after traveling, I was able to practice yoga in several countries but in none of them did I find completeness as I did with Shiva. Asana + Mantra + Pranayama with wonderful teachers, like Ananda, Ellen, Priscila, Chico and many others who have their way of life in yoga. It's a great experience. The best school in the world!!!!!

Very complete class and best teachers! Great for those looking for a yoga experience following a traditional Indian lineage including mantras, pranayama and meditation classes. Very physically intense classes (compared to other yoga studios I've practiced) but open / adapted for all levels.

I've been participating at Shiva for a few years now and I can say that it's the best and most serious Yoga center I've ever seen and heard about. A place of connection and peace with excellent teachers. In addition to classes in Ipanema, Shiva offers retreats and courses for teachers at the Ashram in Teresópolis that I have no words to describe.
Emma Platais
I am extremely grateful to the Shiva Shankara School for all the guidance, support, classes and training I have received. Over the last ten years I have completed numerous retreats, an intensive yoga training course and had the opportunity to start teaching in the studio in Ipanema. Over these years of practice with the Shiva Shankara School, I have deepened my discipline, strengthened my personal commitment to lead a yogic lifestyle, and adopted the yogic philosophy in my everyday life. Thanks to Ananda and Charles' dedication to their guru and their lineage, I had the opportunity to learn about ancient Vedic texts, chant mantras (and discovered my own voice in the process), deepen my mediation practice, and strengthen my asana practice. Most importantly, I have been given the tools to continue to grow and put my practice into action wherever I am in the world, sharing the light of yoga regardless of my location and circumstances.

Shiva Shankara is a Yoga studio that has immense respect for the tradition of this practice. A little piece of India in Ipanema. I am very grateful for all the teachings I have there, with very qualified teachers and with a lot of seriousness in their respective jobs. In addition to being a mega cozy space. Highly recommend!
Mário César Lins Filho
The Studio is great for anyone who wants an intense physical practice of any kind, but leaves something to be desired for those who really care about the philosophy of UNION in yoga. I would not recommend it for those who are on a true integration path and for those who seek to pacify somatic issues.
Andressa Pina
The classes are wonderful. Physically intense, but they connect you in a very real way with the practice. I tried some studios in Rio and Shiva is definitely the one I identify with the most and I feel that it makes me grow more
Maria Cristina Borges
Beautiful place in the middle of nature, excellent teachers committed to deep learning for those who want to understand their spiritual path, delicious food. Amazing experience! OM TAT SAT

If you're looking for a yoga practice that goes beyond the physical part, you've come to the right place. With extremely qualified and welcoming teachers, asana, meditation and mantra practices are what make this space so special.
Beatriz Zaccaro
I had experiences practicing Yoga in several studios and it was at Shiva that I found myself, understanding in fact what Yoga is. There we are all welcomed and feel like family. In addition to the yoga center in Ipanema, the Ashram in Teresopolis provides an indescribable experience and immersion, with great teachers who guide a deepening of spiritual practices towards a path of self-knowledge.
Ana Carolina Bringhenti
Yoga in essence. Real practice. Knowledge and culture. With teachings from experienced teachers and full of love for philosophy. A place to deepen physical practice with ultra dedicated students and also to understand yoga in a more integral way, mentally and spiritually. I was welcomed from my first day of class, I highly recommend it!
Bruna Guahiba Avena
After so much searching, I found the ideal place to develop my yoga practice both physically and spiritually. There are classes for all levels with incredible teachers, always with time for breathing exercises, mantra and meditation. And there is also an ashram in Teresópolis where retreats, workshops and experiences take place. Highly recommend!
Renata Andrade
Yoga as a true and integral practice. As pure and poetic philosophy. With strong cultural and traditional ties of dense knowledge. Instructed by experienced, responsible and thought-provoking teachers who understand the importance of sharing and growing internally in body, mind and spirit but also externally as a warm and loving family. It is very rewarding to be part of what this Yoga center represents. Stepping there is feeling more and more fulfilled
Magdalena RUIZ ROQUE
I adore! It's a time to disconnect and focus on my body and energy... Take control of my thoughts. The teachers are super nice and know a lot!
Priscila Zecchini
I met Shiva 3 years ago and I never found a space with the energy he has! There are many learnings and memories!
Felipe Nascimento
A place to meet yourself and with incredible energy. Serious and excellent Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga classes for all levels of practitioners. Extensive timetable and wonderful masters connected with the roots of Yoga. Very worth checking out! Eternal gratitude to Shiva
Ayla Campos
Vigorous yoga classes with teachers who really encourage students to overcome their fears without losing sight of safety, understanding each one's limits!
