It is with great joy that we are now able to announce that Satyanandashram is once again open and ready to welcome you and your students to come and stay for some days and take part in either the Yogic Lifestyle Experience courses for groups or the Ashram Life experience for individual visitors.
Sri Swami Satyananda foresaw the important role of an ashram in today’s world when he said back in the previous century:
Ashram culture is going to be a panacea for the people of this modern era because it will provide them with a positive environment to explode that seed of creativity which is dormant within them.
Yogic Lifestyle Experience courses for groups
The Yogic Lifestyle Experience courses give yoga teachers and their students the unique opportunity to live Yoga 24/7 in an ashram environment. It provides the tools for how one can apply the components of a Yogic Lifestyle according to Satyananda Yoga into one’s daily life to keep the body and mind healthy, restore balance and ensure a positive, optimistic, creative attitude and spiritual way of living, which once learnt in the ashram, can be practised at home.
The program includes practical classes, lectures, interactive workshops, mantra chanting, pooja and Havan, morning yoga sessions, karma yoga, meditation, yoga nidra of the Satyananda System of Yoga, evening programs [rich and varied], Saturday Mahamritunjaya mantra chanting with havan, shatkarmas [cleansing techniques of Hatha Yoga] on Wednesdays, Saturdays & Sundays.
N.B. Guru Bhakti Yoga is on the 4th-6th of every month.
Satyanandashram Hellas has been organizing Yogic Lifestyle Experience courses for over fifteen years, based on the purpose that yoga should move out of the classrooms and become a daily living experience, a lifestyle that develops and transforms one’s personality through awakening one’s innate dormant potential, creativity, and self-awareness.
Ashram Life Experience
This program offers the individual visitor the opportunity to experience ashram life first-hand.
The emphasis of Ashram Life is on service (seva yoga). Through the practice of seva yoga we discover the deep facets of our personality and learn how to deal with ourselves, other people, and different situations whilst simultaneously being active and efficient in life.
In the ashram, one learns to live yoga from moment to moment and yoga becomes a 24-hour living experience and a lifestyle.
Days in the ashram vary according to the season. A typical day in the ashram could include the following:
Morning yoga sessions, karma Yoga, meditation, yoga nidra of the Satyananda System of Yoga, evening programs [rich and varied], Saturday Mahamritunjaya mantra chanting with havan, shatkarmas [cleansing techniques of Hatha Yoga] on Wed, Sat & Sun.
N.B. Guru Bhakti Yoga is on the 4th-6th of every month
Whether one opts for an Ashram Life experience or a Yogic Lifestyle Experience course, much is to be gained. Sannyasins with over 30 years of ashram life experience, senior Swamis and highly qualified instructors from the Satyananda System of Yoga will be conducting the sessions on these programs.
Swami Sivamurti Saraswati will hold Satsangs during these courses and participants will have the chance to ask any questions.
