Ashram Life
Sat Manav Yoga Ashram is…
A traditional Yoga community in the mountains of western Maine. We live together with our Gurus as families and individuals, as the Rishis did in ancient times, offering the visitor an experience of a spiritually-centered way of life that has almost disappeared from the modern world.
The Ashram creates a unique environment conducive to a state of being aligned with our greatest desire and true purpose: to experience deep and lasting fulfillment. Everything about the Ashram inspires spiritual development, from the landscape to the meals.
The resident initiated Yogis honor and uphold the traditional Guru-disciple relationship of classical Yoga, studying with our Guru to further ourselves along the path of Yoga for the benefit of all. The flow of Ashram life revolves around its primary purpose: spiritual practice. We come together for formal group practice both morning and evening, and endeavor to practice constantly throughout the working day experiencing the profound peace of Yogic living.
Situated on over 100 wooded acres, our beautiful home is a sacred retreat far removed from the hustle and bustle of conventional life.
We are miles off-grid at the end of a long dirt road, nestled in the mountains along a rushing stream. We aim to stay in tune with the natural flow of resources, using wood heat, hand drawn water, and solar lighting. It is the ideal environment for deep Yoga practice, release and rejuvenation.
A life of practice and devotion is a heart- and mind-changing path that aligns us with our true nature. This enables us to benefit all beings—and ultimately to change humanity’s consciousness—by experiencing and emanating the fulfillment and happiness that we all seek.
This emanation is the source of the harmony you feel when you visit.
We invite you to join us in this experience by scheduling a retreat or attending an event.
