What is an Ashram?
An Ashram is a Spiritual Sanctuary, a place where people share together and are dedicated to different spiritual practices such as Meditation, Yoga, Vedic Studies, etc. The Ashram symbolizes the opportunity to disconnect ourselves from the noisy and turbulent mundane life and to connect with the real purpose of the Soul.
It is a place of spiritual nourishment, peace and Love.
Why have an ashram experience?
There are many reasons to motivate yourself to an ashram experience. At Bhakti Yoga School we have Ashrams (spiritual centers) where you will have the opportunity to give and contribute from the heart within a yogic context from the temples of Indian mysticism.
Within Yoga it is said that serving others is one of the highest actions that a Soul can perform and that it can also benefit you in many other ways:
- You will create ties with a community that is conscious and dedicated to serving others.
- You will put your abilities and creativity to the test, you will always find new ways to serve.
- You will learn new skills that will be useful when you return home or continue your journey.
- You will have the opportunity to share your knowledge with other people and help them in their own way.
- You will interact with people from other parts of the world, learning about other customs and life experiences.
- You will be an agent of change. A great mountain is made of small grains of sand, your contribution is very valuable!
- Your best values and qualities will come out, making you feel connected with yourself and with the people around you.
It is a place of spiritual nourishment, peace and Love.
Our Ashram
In the Bhakti Yoga School we focus on manifesting the loving attributes of Bhakti Yoga, the Devotional Path.
We are compromised to our own spiritual practices so we can share them in the most pure and loving way. Manifesting that ideal not only through the people who live and keep the Ashrams alive, but also in the infrastructure designed to help you immerse in the experience.
Our daily practices include Kirtan (devotional music and spiritual Mantra chantings), reading and study of the Vedic Philosophy books, physical Yoga practices, Meditation and Pranayama (breathing techniques) and conscious vegetarian cooking.
