The Samagra Yoga Chikitsa Course is a four-week residential journey that invites you to study the healing power of yoga with depth and precision. It explores how movement, breath and awareness can become instruments of balance and renewal. Through focused practice and insight, you learn to see the body and mind not as problems to be fixed but as fields of intelligence that can restore themselves. Each day unfolds through study, reflection and experience, bridging classical yoga with modern understanding. Open to trained teachers and sincere seekers alike, this course offers practical tools to bring clarity, stability and compassion into your own life and the lives of others.

Daily Life in the Ashram

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” – Swami Sivananda

Begin the day in quiet, before the distractions of the world set in. Rising with nature sets a tone of clarity and balance.

A peaceful start to the day. We sit together in silence, chant uplifting mantras, and listen to readings or talks on yogic wisdom.
(Not religious. It’s a universal practice of focus, reflection, and inner connection.)

A light, warm cup to gently awaken the system.

Practice guided breathing (Pranayama), sun salutation and the 12 classical postures (asanas). Build strength, flexibility, and confidence at your own pace. In this session teachers will introduce and demonstrate postures.

A freshly cooked, vegetarian South Indian meal made with seasonal, local ingredients—simple, nourishing, and deeply satisfying.

A short, mindful activity like helping in the kitchen or garden. It’s not work—it’s a chance to connect, contribute, and reset your relationship with action.

Light and wholesome vegetarian fare to wind down the day.

Evening meditation and chanting, followed by a talk, cultural programme, or spiritual film. A calm close to a meaningful day.

The Ashram rests early. Silence and rest help integrate the day’s experience and support deep healing.
