Daily Ashram Life & Traditional Rituals
Life at our ashram is about finding balance. From early morning rituals and cleansing techniques to shared meals, here is a glimpse into the daily rhythm of our community near Bengaluru.
Here, Neelam demonstrates how a simple chair can be used for a deep spinal twist. This is part of our yoga therapy training, where we learn to make yoga accessible for everyone, regardless of flexibility or physical limitations.
This video showcases a sequence of chair yoga postures. It's a powerful reminder that yoga is not about being super flexible, but about finding connection and presence, and a chair can be an incredible tool for support and exploration.
Students practice Jala Neti, a traditional yogic cleansing technique (kriya) to purify the nasal passages. This is part of learning what a true detox feels like, cleansing the body from the inside out.
I demonstrate the Jala Neti kriya for students. We teach these ancient techniques to provide you with a holistic understanding of yogic health and hygiene.
Music is a form of yoga, a path to the divine. Here, I share the joy of drumming with a young visitor, her smile reflecting the universal language of rhythm and song.

I offer a blessing to a student, a moment of energetic connection and support. This is a practice of Shaktipat, awakening the divine energy that lies dormant within each of us.

A student and I share a moment of gratitude with the Anjali mudra. The ashram is a place where connections are made, and we are thankful for every soul that joins our family.

About Additional Work
The rhythm here is intentional. We begin at 5 AM and end at 9 PM, but it is not a rigid boot camp. It is a shared practice where we learn to integrate yoga into daily life, whether through Jala Neti cleansing techniques or the simple act of chanting before a Sattvic meal. You are not just here to train. You are here to inhabit this space and learn how we live.
Our approach to yoga is a work in, not a work out. When you join us for a 25-day residential program, you step away from the noise of the city and into a space where silence and stillness become lived experiences.
Living the Practice
Life in the ashram is simple and grounded. We believe that yoga happens in the garden, in the kitchen, and during our shared silence as much as it does on the mat. You will participate in Karma Yoga—daily service such as gardening or cleaning—which teaches us to find mindfulness in the mundane. This is how we break the shell from the inside.
Traditional Cleansing and Rituals
We teach ancient Kriya techniques, including Jala Neti, to purify the body from the inside out. You will also experience Satsang chats, where we explore philosophy and Sanskrit, moving beyond postures to understand the deeper purpose of the practice.
Who This Is For
Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, you are welcome. We hold space for every body. You do not need to be flexible or have years of experience to begin. You only need to be ready to look inward. If you are seeking a place to disconnect from digital noise and reconnect with your own rhythm, our ashram doors are open.
