fellow travelers in life...

You will be welcomed at Shanti by your hosts, Wendy and Darin. Their passions include sharing the world of yoga with others, backpacking, thai massage, cuddling their cats, stargazing and blissing out on durian fruit.

A traveling spirit has taken these"fellow travelers in life", around the globe, seeking out the richness of foreign cultures and experiencing the beauty of foreign lands. For 8 years they lived in Japan, studying the language and culture, while teaching English and yoga. In the fall of 2003, Wendy and Darin returned to Canada to "follow their bliss" and turn Shanti into a reality.

Wendy and Darin have been studying and practicing yoga together for more than 15 years. Both are trained in classical hatha yoga and now study with Swami Vivekananda Saraswati at the Agama Yoga School in southern Thailand (www.agamayoga.com). For several months each winter they spend time with the school immersing themselves in intensive daily yoga study and practice. Their desire to explore this ancient philosophy has taken them from Canada and Japan to India, Nepal, Thailand and the U.S.
