Whether we are in the hills of Sardinia or elsewhere, we maintain a strict daily rhythm of four hours of asana, philosophy study, and meditation, ensuring that your practice remains grounded even while traveling. ### Authentic Practice Away from Home When I travel to host workshops in locations like Italy or Dubai, my goal remains the same as in my ashram in Amboli: to provide a space where you can disconnect from your daily routines and reconnect with the Self. These retreats are designed for those who seek to apply the principles of the Sivananda lineage—Proper Exercise, Proper Breathing, Proper Relaxation, Proper Diet, and Positive Thinking—in a concentrated format. ### What You Can Expect - **Structured Daily Sadhana:** We do not believe in leisurely classes. You will engage in daily routines including Hatha yoga, pranayama, and meditation sessions that are meant to challenge and purify. - **Deep Dive Philosophy:** Every retreat includes hours dedicated to Vedantic study. We explore texts such as the Upanishads and the Yoga Sutras, providing the framework you need to understand the 'why' behind your postures. - **Sattvic Environment:** Even in international settings, we strive to maintain a pure atmosphere. This includes a focus on vegetarian nutrition, group chanting, and silent reflection times that foster a supportive community of like-minded seekers. ### Who This Is For These programs are open to both beginners and those with an established practice, provided you have a sincere interest in the path of yoga. Whether you are looking to refine your technique or simply desire a temporary departure from worldly distractions to focus on your inner state, these gatherings offer a rare opportunity to learn directly from a traditional lineage. Please come prepared for discipline, as this path requires commitment to bear fruit. ## About Govindananda Saraswati I, Swami Govindananda, bring the depth of traditional ashram life to communities worldwide. My retreats are structured to help you disconnect from modern noise and reconnect with your true Self through consistent practice and study.
