Ashrams are typically located in remote rural settings amidst mountains and forests where people meet and live together in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. The Ashram residents regularly perform spiritual and physical exercises such as various forms of yoga. Some ashrams are led by a spiritual leader but the majority are orientated around an ideal.
An Ashram experience can last for just a number of days or weeks whilst others go for much longer spiritual experiences and some even become resident there.
You will find Ashrams in all parts of the world although all vary greatly in style, so it’s possible to select one that allows you to follow your own path of discovery. Life at an ashram is a humble one with early rises and a dedicated regime of meditation and teachings. Smoking, alcohol and intimate relations are not permitted for the duration of your stay and are intended as a means to upkeep and support the spiritual energies.
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have a period of stillness in a beautiful location with a personal yoga teacher, healthy local food, plenty of rest and the chance to do a little sightseeing then an ashram experience is for you.
Accommodation at an ashram aims to retain the simplicity of ashram living yet most are equipped with the necessary modern facilities and most rooms will have adjoining bathrooms. Traditional local food is served using organic produce normally grown on site. Daily activities vary but a typical day may include sunrise meditation, morning and afternoon yoga classes and breathing techniques and meditation. The ashram may organise lessons in cooking, dancing, music and local history and culture alongside sightseeing activities to a number of local attractions.
