The Ashram is set in twelve acres of tropical splendour in the foothills of Kerala’s Western Ghats. The natural beauty of Neyyar Dam lake, the forested surroundings, the cool green coconut tree groves and colourful flower-filled views offer an ideal atmosphere for the practice of yoga and meditation. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned practitioner, immerse yourself in a classical spiritual tradition that brings health, vitality and peace of mind.

The Ashram is part of a global network recognised internationally as one of the most important and authentic yoga institutions in the world.

Our founder Swami Vishnudevananda synthesised the essence of yoga into five principles that could be easily incorporated into daily life. These are the core teachings of the four paths of classical, traditional yoga and make the wisdom of the ancient sages easily applicable to our modern life.
