Residential programs · Abhayaranya Yoga Ashram
The same forest ashram, faculty and food as our teacher trainings — without the certification workload. Choose the program that matches what you need right now: to practise and learn, or to heal and reset under a doctor's care.
Which program is for you?
You want to practise and learn
A structured yogic routine for body and mind: daily asana classes, yoga philosophy discussions, meditation and mantra chanting — the full ashram rhythm, adapted to your level.
You want to heal and reset
A doctor-guided program. It begins with a private consultation with our Ayurveda doctor, who prescribes your daily therapies and a modified diet — personal to you, not fixed.

Both programs share
Private, cottage-style rooms with attached bathroom and 24/7 hot & cold running water. Porter service carries your luggage up the trail (one porter per person, up to 15–18 kg).
Three wholesome vegetarian meals a day from our in-house kitchen — the most-praised line in our reviews.
We advocate unplugging for your stay. Being present is the point — and stepping back from screens is half the reset.
A hilltop forest ashram near the Patna waterfall — no vehicle access, no city sounds, just the practice and the mountains.
Unlike our teacher trainings, retreat programs can begin any day of the year, subject to availability — pre-booking required.
We engage personally with every student and prepare an individually focused plan to follow at the ashram — and continue after you return.
