to 1 Sept

Hatha Yoga & Swadhyaya Residential Retreats

Self-guided immersion at Santosh Puri Ashram
Uttarakhand, India — on the banks of the Ganga, between Rishikesh and Haridwar

These residential retreats offer a quieter, more introspective way to experience ashram life.

This period is especially suited for those who wish to deepen their personal practice through self-guided sādhana, while remaining supported by the presence of the ashram environment.

Rather than a structured course, the emphasis is placed on developing one’s own rhythm — integrating asana, pranayama, meditation, and self-study into daily life.

Guidance remains available when needed. Those who are new to practice may request sessions to learn the foundations of Hatha Yoga, while more experienced practitioners are free to refine and deepen their existing sādhana.

Sādhanā, Seva & Self-Study

Life during this time revolves around three essential aspects:

Sādhanā — establishing a consistent personal practice
Seva (Karma Yoga) — contributing to the maintenance of the ashram through simple daily tasks
Svādhyāya — self-study, through observation, reflection, journaling, or the study of yogic texts

The ashram library offers a wide range of materials to support study, creating space for deeper introspection.

This two-week residential course with Mandakini Puri offers an introduction to Yantra Painting as a meditative and transformative practice, combined with daily Hatha Yoga.

Each day begins with a traditional morning Hatha Yoga session, including asana, pranayama, and meditation. In the afternoon, participants engage in the process of yantra painting, working with a chosen deity, chakra, or planetary energy.

Guided by Mandakini Puri, who has over 20 years of experience and learned the Harish Johari Wash Painting Technique from her teacher Pieter Weltevrede, the course offers a structured yet immersive environment to deepen both practice and understanding.

🪔 Festival: Guru Purnima 2026
Jul
29

🪔 Festival: Guru Purnima 2026

In 2026 YogAnga Retreat will celebrate Guru Purnima at Sri Santosh Puri Ashram on July 29: a full moon celebration in honour of our gurus, Santosh Puri Babaji and Narvada Puri Mataji.

Guru Purnima according to the Hindu lunar calendar, is held every year in the month of Ashadh (typically around June or July during monsoon).  In 2026 YogAnga Retreat will celebrate Guru Purnima at Sri Santosh Puri Ashram on July 29.

Come gather with us in this special time of year. Mingle among old friends and fellow devotees. Share stories about your experiences with Babaji and Mataji. Listen to the recitation of the Guru Gita.

In Sanskrit the word गुरु guru is made of two root words: गु gu meaning darkness, and रु ru meaning the remover of darkness. Our spiritual and academic preceptors remove the darkness of ignorance by imparting us ‘Apara Vidya’ (temporal knowledge).

ॐ असतो मा सदगमय ।
oṃ asato mā sad-gamaya
Om, Lead us from Unreality (of Transitory Existence) to the Reality (of the Eternal Self),

तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।
tamaso mā jyotir-gamaya
Lead us from the Darkness (of Ignorance) to the Light (of Spiritual Knowledge),

मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय।
mṛtyor-mā amṛtaṃ gamaya
Lead us from the Fear of Death to the Knowledge of Immortality.

One who dispels ignorance and leads to the path of knowledge. Guru Purnima is meant to pay tribute and shower utmost adoration, and respect for the one who like the phrase in Upanishad, which says ‘tamaso mā jyotir-gamaya‘ leads in the journey towards light.

Guru Purnima also marks the first day of monsoon, the rainy season. On this full moon celebration, all spiritual aspirants / devotees pay tribute to their respective (spiritual or academic) teacher or Guru.

The day before we decorate the ashram with flowers. That morning we perform a havan (sacred fire ceremony). After which we  will enjoy a special meal. Through out the day we will take turns reading from the sanskrit sacred text: Guru Gita.

You will see this image of Dattatreya, sitting on the alter behind the dhuni (our sacred fire place).

Hindus often associate Guru Purnima with the sacred memory of Saint Guru Vyas Dev, who taught Dattatreya, the one who is considered the guru of gurus. Ved Vyasa was the one to divide the Vedas into four- Rig, Sama, Yajur, and Atharva.

Two Week Hatha Yoga & Bhagavad Gita Residential Course

This two-week residential course combines the practice of Hatha Yoga with the study of the Bhagavad Gita, offering an opportunity to deepen both your sadhana and your understanding of yogic philosophy within the supportive environment of a traditional ashram in India.

Each morning begins with Hatha Yoga, including asana, pranayama, and meditation, with classes adapted to the experience and needs of the participants. In the afternoons, Dr. Alaknanda Puri guides the study of the Bhagavad Gita through Sanskrit chanting and practical commentary that connects its timeless wisdom to everyday life.

Through Lord Krishna's dialogue with Arjuna, participants are introduced to the paths of Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga, and Jñana Yoga, discovering how these teachings can cultivate greater clarity, purpose, and inner freedom.

Living within the rhythm of the ashram provides the ideal setting to integrate these teachings into daily experience. Alongside study and practice, participants take part in meditation, chanting, seva, and community life, allowing philosophy to become something lived rather than merely understood.

🪔 Festival: Diwali at Santosh Puri Ashram, 2026
Nov

🪔 Festival: Diwali at Santosh Puri Ashram, 2026

In 2026, YogAnga Retreat will celebrate Diwali at Sri Santosh Puri Ashram on 8 November. Known as the Festival of Lights, Diwali is one of India's most cherished celebrations, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.

Also called Deepavali ("a row of lamps"), the festival is traditionally celebrated by lighting ghee lamps around homes and temples to welcome the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, representing abundance, prosperity, and auspicious new beginnings. In the days leading up to the festival, families often clean and prepare their homes as an outward expression of inner renewal.

Diwali is also associated with the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile, following his victory over Ravana and the rescue of Sita. According to tradition, the people of Ayodhya illuminated the path with countless lamps to welcome him home, celebrating the triumph of dharma over adharma.

Celebrating Diwali within an ashram offers a unique opportunity to experience this sacred festival beyond its outward festivities. Together, we gather in devotion, light lamps throughout the mandir and ashram grounds, chant, reflect, and share in a spirit of community—allowing the symbolism of the festival to become a reminder to cultivate light within our own lives.
