The Shiva Ashram is the home of Shiva Yoga, which was founded in 1991 by the director, Mahamandaleshwar Swami Shankarananda (Swamiji), and co-director Ma Devi Saraswati. Shiva Yoga traces its lineage to the Indian saints, Bhagavan Nityananda and Baba Muktananda. The Shiva Ashram is a residential meditation and spiritual centre〔"The Training of a Western Guru", by Peggy Hailstone, ''Australian Yoga Life'', page 46, Issue 42, March–May 2014〕 in Mount Eliza, on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, about one hour outside of Melbourne.
