• The food is 100% vegetarian.
• Smoking, alcohol, illegal drugs, fish, and meat are not permitted within grounds.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Meher was a valuable member to our community. It was a pleasure to have him her for one month with us in our yoga centre ,Western Australia.
He is a responsible young guy, curious to explore the horizon of opportunities of yogic lifestyle.
We wish you all the best Meher to all your future endeavours. Come and visit again.
