Yes, Wi-Fi is available in common spaces at the ashram. Please note that due to our remote location, our Wi-Fi sometimes drops out. If you require guaranteed Internet access during your stay, we recommend that you purchase an Indian SIM card with mobile data from Airtel or Idea. Airtel is better connectivity.

Yes, we have multiple rooftop terraces and open spaces where you can spend your free time and enjoy the sun. Please remain respectful of the dress code at all times though and keep yourself covered from the shoulders to the knees.

Our Hatha and Ashtanga yoga classes, as well as laughter yoga, all take place in our yoga hall, a cool space with plenty of windows for fresh air and view to the river on one side.

The guided meditations that are part of the program take place in the Yoga Hall, a cool space with plenty of windows for fresh air and view to the river on one side. If you would like to meditate during your free time, you are welcome to use any public areas, including our spacious garden.

Yes, unlike many ashrams located in Rishikesh, we have plenty of outdoor space within the ashram. A large courtyard, multiple rooftop areas and a very large garden full of beautiful flowers and herbs, nurtured with a lot of care by our Swami Ji. We are also located directly on the bank of the river Ganges and have direct access to walk to the shore from our garden. The ashram gates are locked during the night for complete safety of our guests.

We are always looking for people who have yoga and meditation experience to volunteer to support the programme. If you are interested, please come and talk to us once you have completed the course.
