Shiva Shankara Yoga Center

"This review took a long time to come but I’m finally able to share it. I was in Rio for a week and thought of stretching my body after a long backpacking trip. Being in Ipanema, and close to Shiv Shankara, I thought of giving it a try. Originally I’m from India and grew up doing asanas. This place gave me all I was looking for. Warm teachers who focus just not on the physical practice, but also the spiritual side of yoga. It’s also a beautiful community that welcomes new people. I don’t speak any Portuguese, and the teachers also took care of explaining and guiding me in English so I could follow well. Deep gratitude and love for Priscilla and Chico who are wonderful teachers and humans and showed me the warm side of Rio. Will definitely go back to this place whenever I’m in Rio. Keep doing the good work guys❤️. It’s almost impossible to find yoga studios who see it beyond just a means to stay physically active and go deeper. 🧘🏽‍♂️"

"Took a private class with Alessandra and it was fantastic. One of the best instructors I have ever had and so supportive, challenging, and relaxing at the same time. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"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."

"Aulas incríveis com professores maravilhosos. 🕉💕 Yoga como deve ser, teoria e prática juntos."
