He shows great skill in communicating complex esoteric concepts with simplicity, ease, humour and compassion, helping others to bring deep wisdom and higher knowledge into their every day lives.

He has motivated and inspired patients to regard illness and pain as an integral part of their life journey, to find meaning in all of life's experiences, and to explore their own creative solutions. A highly sought-after teacher, Dr Swami Shankardev has toured extensively throughout India , Europe, the USA and Australia teaching yoga, meditation, psychology, philosophy, yoga therapy, and Ayurveda. Regardless of his subject, his seminars always focus on helping people expand their awareness of their individual physical, emotional and spiritual development, and on restoring their unlimited potential. His seminars are innovative, combining both traditional eastern, western and original techniques and approaches. Dr Swami Shankardev is a senior teacher of Yogic Studies and the 3 year Teacher Training Courses for Satyananda Yoga Academies ( Australia & India ). Over the years he played a key role in developing Satyananda Yoga by devising course content, and authoring and editing many books for the Bihar School of Yoga. His in-print books on yoga therapy include: Yogic Management of Asthma and Diabetes, The Effects of Yoga on Hypertension, and The Practices of Yoga for the Digestive System.
