I cannot believe that this place exists! I searched "yoga near me" and "yoga studios near me" and instead found myself opened up to a whole new world filled with fullfillment and bliss. I found my inner peace in the mountainous forests of western Maine

Highest praises for my experience at Sat Manav Yoga Ashram. Besides the breathtaking views of the western rural mountains and woodlands of Maine, Sat Manav truly offers a special and sacred experience for all visitors. The yoga and teaching sessions are life giving, those who live at the Ashram are kind and hospitable and the food is a treat. Every moment visiting Sat Manav is a gift. I always look forward to returning.

– Lisa Beth Silverman

Beautiful place, amazing people, and some of the best(and most healthy)food you’ll ever have !

I recommend attending one of the monthly festivals for a first trip. They’re the best way to get familiar with the property, the yogis who live there, and they’re philosophy/practice of life-enhancing emanation.

– Ben Fecteau

This place is a hidden gem in the woods of western Maine ... the yogis are gracious and kind, the food is exceptional, the environment peaceful, the accommodations comfortable, the yoga practice powerful and the massages are not to be missed!

– Jess Mckneally

A peaceful spiritual haven hidden in the lush woods of Maine. This community has always been life supportive, practicing healing peace and kindness. Providing a sanctuary from distractions, you're able to breath, practice, reflect, nourish, rejuvenate and restore. For anyone who lives yoga or is focused on building a yoga practice, this Ashram is a helping guiding light.

– Michael Aquino

The ashram is a true retreat, both away from the madness of the world and INTO the beauty of the Self. And, oh my - the food! Beyond words - oh so good. The daily retreat schedule is a perfect balance of solitude and community. I loved starting my day with actual spiritual yoga and ending the day in the amaaaaazing temple for puja. I am VERY much looking forward to returning!
