Big Shakti

“It is immediately evident that Big Shakti offers us a deep understanding of ancient techniques, and somehow, they succeed in translating these complex movements for a practice that feels very friendly and doable upfront yet with a sense of depthless opportunity long-term. It is quite evident from the start that these techniques are truly effective. Having a "coach" of this caliber guiding me is a blessing.”

Big Shakti

“Big Shakti's online programs are planned with extreme care and knowledge, and they are valuable tools for self-study. They are easy to follow, and they always make me feel like the teacher is in my mind, knowing my needs and what I want to explore. What I like most about Big Shakti's work is that they provide knowledge and experience in a structured way, with care, love, and empathy. It is like having a trusted friend who helps you when needed.”

Big Shakti

“Big Shakti provides worldwide access to the kind of knowledge that is historically only available in a personal relationship with a master teacher. The programs are deeply enriching, and the energy generated is amazing. At the same time, it always feels personal, and Big Shakti is quick to respond to any question or concern. The study programs have been of immense value in my practice.”

“I purchased 4 of Big Shakti's guided meditation programs from the Atma Center in Ohio, USA, and am SO GRATEFUL!!! I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH for the tremendous benefit I have gained from the meditations (after 15 years of practice--these are by far the BEST!)”

“I would highly recommend anyone interested in yoga and personal growth attend a seminar by Swami Shankardev and Jayne Stevenson. One of the first things you notice is the wealth of knowledge and experience, delivered in a practical, "down to earth" manner. ”

  • Big Shakti has applied the ancient wisdom of Yoga in accessible practical ways for our current age. It is freeing, yet challenging, and it’s evolving study. I have found myself more at peace, confident, grounded; improvement in relationships, and my smile is more regularly warm. I am thankful for the courses they offer online and recommend this as a good means for learning and expanding one’s knowledge of self.

  • What I enjoy about Big Shakti online courses and meditations is their combination of wisdom and practice. They have helped to clarify my understanding and thus allowed my practice to become alive, useful and meaningful. As a teacher, I am better able to explain the science behind the techniques, which my very Western students appreciate.

  • I have gained noticeable results, including: improved sense of wellbeing, increased inner strength, calmness and serenity, increased stamina, and the ability to deal with stress and life’s challenges. Although simple, the techniques are powerful, based in authentic tradition of tantric yoga, and thus different from many of the 'new age' meditation instructions which have a much more superficial effect on our mind-body system.

  •  I would strongly recommend this to anyone who is interested in authentic meditation and true self-discovery. These meditations have guided me to a place were I can see myself in a loving, non-judgmental way. I find this to be very fulfilling. As a result of using this exceptional chakras practice I am more grounded, aware and connected.

    USA

  • It is quite evident from the start of using Swami Shankardev's guidance that these techniques are truly effective. The guided Yoga Nidra complements my own practice in this type of relaxation meditation. Having a "coach" of this calibre to lead me through the territory of the body is a blessing.

    Jill Pederson

    USA

  • I would recommend Swami Shankardev and Jayne Stevenson's workshops and meditations to anyone who wants to incorporate a practice in their daily life that can have profound impact, particularly in terms of shifting longstanding patterns when other techniques have not been successful.
