Yoga Beyond Physical Exercise, Focused on Spiritual Growth

Yoga is often seen as just a physical practice, but its true essence goes far beyond the poses and stretches. At its core, yoga is a journey inward, focusing on spiritual growth and self-awareness.

 

Through mindful breathing, meditation, and the connection between body and mind, yoga helps practitioners cultivate inner peace and a deeper understanding of themselves.

From Jewelry to Yoga

Shiva's Life-altering Choice

Shiva's journey into yoga began at the tender age of five under the loving guidance of his grandmother. Despite being groomed by his father to inherit the family jewelry business,

Shiva's life took a transformative turn when he encountered a man at eighteen who cured his cancer through Ayurveda and yoga. This profound experience ignited Shiva's deep connection to yoga, which he believes chose him, steering him away from a destined path in jewelry.

Embracing Hatha yoga as his primary practice, Shiva sees all yoga styles as equal paths to enlightenment. His classes reflect a holistic approach, encompassing warm-ups, sun salutations, various poses including forward bends, backbends, twists, and inversions, followed by meditation, mantra chanting, and the essential savasana.

 

Shiva's story underscores how yoga transcends mere exercise, embodying a spiritual journey that beckons those who are called to it.

This is where you should go to destress from your travels! I have taken 2 yoga classes from Shiva so far. He is phenomenal. The class is in perfect English. The atmosphere is beautiful and calming. The studio is pristinely clean. Shiva knows how to ease you into a meditative state that will provide you with the most satisfying yoga experience you could hope for. Classes are $8 and worth every penny. Shiva chants throughout the class and helps students stay on track with deep breathing in sync with the movement. Thank you Aum yoga for providing this extraordinary yoga class! I can’t wait to come back for more!

I joined several classes at Aum Yoga while I stayed in Siem Reap. I tried different styles and workshops and I was lucky to meet all their teachers. Always professional and warm, I felt like at home from first day. They also have an amazing range of Crystal Singing Bowls that often are used at the end of the yoga class, or as a complete session on their Saturday schedule. Once I had the opportunity to take a private class with Shiva, so knowledgeable and experienced yoga instructor! Once a month they also offer community event Kirtan. Well equipped, clean and cozy, I dare to say this probably is best yoga studio in town.
