Visit YogAnga Retreat

YogAnga Retreat at Sri Santosh Puri Ashram is located between Haridwar and Rishikesh, in the foothills of the Himalayas along the sacred Ganga River in North India. This peaceful setting offers a supportive environment for those wishing to step into a more intentional and contemplative way of living.

Experience Ashram Life
Life at the ashram is simple, structured, and centered around daily sadhana. Through yoga, meditation, and study, guests are invited to explore a deeper connection with themselves in a space rooted in tradition, sincerity, and shared practice.
Whether you are new to yoga or already established in your path, living in an ashram environment offers a unique opportunity to step out of routine and experience a different rhythm of life.

Length of Stay
There is no fixed duration for your stay. However, we recommend staying at least a few weeks to allow time to settle and fully benefit from the experience. Longer stays often lead to a deeper understanding and integration of the practices.

First-Time Visitors
If you have never visited an ashram before or are unsure if this environment is right for you, you may first stay in Haridwar or Rishikesh and visit the ashram for a day. This allows you to experience the atmosphere before committing to a longer stay.

Contributions & Donations

Please note that participation in courses and retreats is subject to a course fee, which will be communicated upon enquiry or registration. Guests staying at the ashram independently of a course or retreat are charged a daily rate for accommodation and meals.

In addition to these fees, those who wish to further support the ashram are welcome to make a voluntary donation. Donations help support the maintenance of the ashram, care of the cows (gaushala), charitable activities, and the continuation of the teachings and activities offered here.

Another meaningful way of contributing to ashram life is through participation in its daily rhythm, including aarti, classes, and shared activities.

Voluntary donations can be made through our PayPal Donation Page.
