Welcome to Shama Yoga School

In many mystical traditions and philosophies such as alchemy and the Cabala, the word shamayim is used to describe the creative force within all living things. Shama, as derived from shamayim, is a word we can use to emphasise the expressive and creative aspect of yoga. Interestingly, implicit within the meaning of the Sanskrit word shama is also the idea of the inner harmony of the whole self: mind, body and feeling. Shama sounds good on any tongue with the first vowel lengthened as in lama.

About Steve Avian

Steve Avian is the founder of the Shamayoga School. He is an internationally qualified (F.R.Y.O.G./I.C.M.) yoga teacher with over twenty five years experience of yoga and has been teaching yoga for over ten years. He has studied yoga in the UK, India, Europe and the USA. He is also a member of the Yoga Alliance and the Independent Yoga Network.

"Yoga found me in my early teens through an aunt who taught me some of the poses. My body assumed the shapes of many movements and postures quite naturally, as if yoga was something I was relearning as opposed to encountering for the first time. Many people have this feeling when they take up yoga. I loved it. Yoga made me feel alive like great music. Soon after, I chanced upon a yoga master, the renowned B.K.S. Iyengar, during one of his rare European tours; an auspicious and inspiring start for any student of yoga. Throughout the years I made an intense study of yoga and related disciplines with a wide variety of teachers, artists, mystics and healers from many traditions and cultures."
