“I would highly recommend to anyone interested in yoga and personal growth. One of the first things you notice about Swami Shankardev's style of lecturing is his wealth of knowledge and experience, delivered in a practical, "down to earth" manner. His sense of humor helps, also, to connect with participants, as well as help people remember the very important information contained within the seminars. The interactive nature also helped people to feel a part of the proceedings and not just a number in a crowd.”

“Clear and concise presentations of simple yet complicated aspects of the yoga representation of human experience and the effect of intrinsic and extrinsic forces within each of us. ”

“Swami Shankardev's guidance is incredibly effective, complementing my meditation practice perfectly. It is immediately evident that Big Shakti offers us a deep understanding of these 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; as a skeptic, eliciting this trust right off the bat was a gratifying surprise.”

Jill Pederson

“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 by going "live" with Dr Swami Shankardev Saraswati, Jayne Stevenson, and an international group of seekers 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.”

“As a Yoga devotee for 35 years, I am convinced, more than ever, that embodying Big Shakti's Teachings is one of the most essential and far-reaching processes a Yogi can embark upon. I am determined to continue the practices in the long term. I remain in your debt for this doorway into deeper, profound levels of Self.”

“Big Shakti's online courses are exceptional because of the wisdom they share, the teachers who teach it, and the way the courses are presented. The credible Eastern and Western perspectives allow the topic to be understood more easily. The valuable homework reflections, teamed with thorough Q&A opportunities as well as specific breath work and meditation practices, bring the knowledge into daily life. Access to technical and personal support throughout the study is priceless. All facets of online learning are integrated to form an excellent resource that provides an opportunity for change.”
