Ankit Goswami, known as Shiven in the yoga space, is a dedicated yoga teacher, wellness expert, and artist with over a decade of experience in the fitness and holistic health industry.
His journey began in 2012 in the field of fitness, where he built a strong foundation in physical training and body conditioning. Over time, his interest evolved from outer strength to inner balance, guiding him toward the path of yoga.
In 2018, Ankit formally stepped into yoga by enrolling at the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga & Science, New Delhi, where he completed 240 hours of structured training in asana, pranayama, and meditation.
In 2019, he joined the Sivananda Ashram, where he lived and trained in a traditional yogic environment. Deeply moved by the spiritual energy and discipline of the ashram, Ankit chose to stay on as a karma yogi from 2019 to 2020, offering seva (selfless service) while deepening his personal sadhana and connection to the yogic path.
Since then, he has traveled across India to study with various masters, expanding his knowledge in Hatha Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, and Ashtanga Vinyasa. He has also completed a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course, and continues to grow as both a student and teacher.
Ankit is the founder of Shiven Yoga, where his mission is to guide others toward strength, clarity, and spiritual awareness—through conscious movement, breath, and mindful living.
