website of UK Yogi Derek Osborn aka 
Swami Shiv Giri Baba

​WELCOME to my website.  I hope that here you will be able to find information about yoga classes and events, along with a selection of my writing and images produced over many years.  On a large screen the Menu of contents can be seen to the left.  On small screens/ tablets etc you should find three short lines at top left.  Clicking there should open the menu.  
I have been practising yoga for over 70 years and teaching yoga at all levels since 1969.  In that time I have studied with many of the country`s leading teachers and followed most of the current schools of yoga.  While teaching mainly in England and Wales I have also helped to run yoga courses in France and taught a little at the ashram/hermitage of my guru Swami Pranavananda Brahmendra Avadhuta in Tamil Nadu, south India.

​To contact me -  Text or call 07791 182085 between 10.0am and 6.00pm (GMT).  Please note I seldom answer calls so a text is preferred.

CLASSES and EVENTS
The image below (or on the left) is of a class being held at Jubilee House in Madeley, Telford, UK.  TF7 5AH

Full details can be found on the News and Events page.

​SATSANG
is the coming together of those who wish to talk about aspects of the spiritual and philosophical aspects of yoga-dharma.  Meetings usually  rotate around the evenings of the week to accommodate those with other regular commitments.  These sessions are FREE and open to all with an interest in broadening their experience of yoga from the purely physical exercise based classes.  Prior notice of attendance is essential.
​Please contact me if you wish to visit for a discussion.

THE LIBRARY
Come in.  As the site builds you will find many of the articles and course notes that I have produced over many years.  In the spirit of yoga there is no copyright on these teachings, but I do ask that if you quote any part you will acknowledge your source.  Happy browsing around my site.


In general topics are listed alphabetically in the Menu to the left.

ASANAS: the postures of Yoga
While Yoga is far more than just the physical exercises the asanas do provide a foundation for good health and the starting point for most people on their long journey of discovery about Yoga and their Self .
The modern sciences of physiology, biomechanics and anatomy etc are included in this section of teaching.
