GoogleSat Yoga Ashram is an oasis of peace and connection with nature and God on the top of a misty mountain at around 3,400 feet in elevation. I stayed for the week long retreat, and was able to be immersed in meditation, classes, nature walks, interact with the beings who live here and keep this place going, meet with Shunyamurti for a wonderful interaction, and enjoy the peace of the Bhavan (cabin) and surrounding nature that I was staying in. Although I was expecting for things to be a bit more silent based on the notion of limited verbal interaction, I had plenty of wonderful conversations and interactions with the beings here, as well as plenty of silence while around others. The truth is it is a balance between verbal interaction and silence that nurtures our being to share in more direct and subtle ways with others and God. I honestly enjoy being alone in silence, but it was nice to be surrounded by others with whom I could open up to more. It is all a state of mind when it comes to human interaction and perspective, whether inside or outside the Ashram. It was great to see all of the time and energy that has been put into this place over the last 15+ years in order to bring it to where it is today. The cost to stay at the Ashram is fairly expensive relatively speaking, but compared to other types of retreats, and seeing all of the work that goes into sustaining daily life in a physical body, it is very fair! And like it has been said in other reviews, they can help with assistance if one really wants to visit, but needs help financially. And again it is stated online and on the sign at the entrance of the property that it is by appointment only. It's not like it's just down the street to where you would just drop in anyway in my opinion lol. I received caring advice from some of the yogis there that has been very useful, and have been able to quiet my mind more since my stay there. There were also tons of synchronistic experiences there, and after I left. I also ended up having an awesome 2 hour jam sesh with one of the yogis here!! If your life's unfoldment has brought you to this place, then I highly recommend coming for at least a week if you can, and to watch their videos on YouTube and join the online membership program so that you can study from home as well. God will not lead you astray, and whether you come here or not, remember that we are all one big family and that everything is a play in the mind of God! The food here was mind blowing as well!!! All vegetarian, but I believe I gained some weight by the time I left 😅 it gives me the encouragement to switch to vegetarian, as it is palpable the vibrational difference. At least cut back on meat somewhat! I'm glad that I was able to share some light and love with the beings here (yogis, locals, animals, nature), and receive light and love in return. It is the grace of God almighty that makes all possible!!! God bless you all, and thank you for the wonderful next step in our unfoldment! 🕉️❤️
I lived and volunteered at the ashram for 4 months and it was absolutely paradigm shifting. The teachings of Shunya, the beauty and life of the land, the love and commitment of the community, THE FOOD. It's just an amazing place to reset and and relaunch your life or just find your center and abide there.
Beautiful Ashram to connect to Advaita Vedanta. They focus on meditation and teachings. Beautiful place with great people and fantastic self grown food!
My experience at Sat Yoga was incredible. I attended the 5 day meditation intensive retreat in September 2019. From start to finish the experience was "magical". Whether you're looking for a place for peace, quiet reflection, a reset button on the stresses of day to day life, or an eye-opening educational experience, this Ashram will deliver. I felt completely immersed and held by the community there as soon as as I arrived. The people are incredible, kind and open-hearted. I was taken aback by how smoothly the behind-the-scenes operations happened. Everything was so well organized and thought-out. The food is vegan cuisine, some of which comes from the Ashram's land, hearty, healthy and simply delicious. I highly recommend attending any retreat held at the Sat Yoga Ashram. Namaste!
An amazing and magical place! Definitely unique and transformational. It was a life changing experience for me. So much wisdom and heartfelt teachings shared by Shunyamurti. Such a loving and kind community. The food was excellent! Cozy and beautiful bhavans! A place for true seekers of truth, love, joy, peace and radical acceptance. Highly recommended for anyone ready to get out of the Matrix and abide in the Real: to live in true freedom and happiness _______________________________________________________________ Sat Yoga family saved my life in so many ways , that I dont have anymore words to express my deep gratitude and love. I will forever be in debt. I just finished the Ashram Immersion Online program , which was beyond my expectations. Godly perfection. So much learned and so much knowledge transmitted in such a precise and concise manner for our chaotic minds to understand . In every module, meditation gathering, yoga asana class, pranayama classes , teachings, the love and high frequency energy could be felt. Everything was so helpful for me in this spiritual journey , for this is an ongoing process . I recommend it 120% for anyone who wants to dive deeper in this spiritual journey for freedom and Divine Love. It is for all levels in this process , all you need is courage, love, open mind and open heart. Thank you Sat Yoga family!!
