FULL DESCRIPTION OF LISTING
Resting on 120 acres of woodland where the mountains touch the waters of Kootenay Lake, Yasodhara Ashram is a vibrant spiritual community. People come here from all over the world to learn about yogic practices year round. Swami Radha founded the Ashram in 1963 and it continues to grow and thrive.
In the summer the Ashram hums with yoga retreats, workshops, celebrations, and intensive programs. Any time of the year, the Ashram is a place to go within, grow, and be inspired by the beauty of our natural surroundings.
The Ashram was founded by Swami Sivananda Radha, a pioneer in the development of yoga in the west. Although she passed away in 1995, her love and presence is felt by all who come here. She left the Ashram under the care of her designated successor, Swami Radhananda, who continues to guide the work.
Swami Radha introduced a number of yogic practices, including Kundalini, Hatha, Karma and Mantra Yoga, and the Divine Light Invocation. These practices are the foundation of all the courses offered at the Ashram. Yoga has the potential to help us realize our innate wisdom. In a supportive community with trained instructors, you have the opportunity to try the different practices and experience the results.
