Sat Nam !
We are a non profit organisation running the Guru Ramdas yoga ashram in the south-eastern French Alpes.
The property (at 750m alt) covers 8 hectares, with 5 hectares meadows and a big garden area (vegetables, orchard and small fruits). The buildings and camping facilities allow us to host yoga retreats, trainings and guests.
Blessed with the "climat Provençal" from April til October, we enjoy bright sunny days but still fresh nights.
The organisation is run by its residents and members/volunteers of the association.
Our community life is based on the yogic lifestyle of Kundalini Yoga, including Ahimsa (doing no harm), Sadhana (daily yoga and meditation practice), Seva (selfless service) and Simran (remembering in all circumstances our true and divine nature).
We do not smoke, do not drink alcohol, are vegetarian and eat organic food.
We will be happy to share this lifestyle and yoga practice with you!
Do you have skills (or just good motivation) in hosting, site-maintenance, gardening, DIY projects and would you be happy to share those skills with us? Then let us know!
It is also possible to join us for a longer stay. If you would like to do so, then please email us and tell us about yourself, your skills and motivations.
