Family Ashram!
Vedic Arogya Ashram is always open for guests from all the over the world, no matter age, origin or gender. This place is run not as business but as a family so consider yourself at home. We respect and honor all people as the children of nature.
Our Ashram is more than a Yoga Retreat center, it is a complete healing ashram. Our retreats don’t focus on asana alone, we aim to provide a holistic and rich experience for our guests including yoga, body cleansing, ayurveda, body therapy, massages, and also reiki healing and buddhist meditation. We believe that all the knowledge that heals the mind and the body is welcome to serve our guests.
The atmosphere and the location of the ashram enhances peace and relaxation. We are located in the middle of a green area without cars or motorbikes, in a clean and quiet natural setting. We are lucky to be able to enjoy the Himalayas from our Ashram in the early morning.
We also encourage our praticipants to reduce their internet connection time during their stay in order for them to benefit as mush as possible from the retreat.
Vedic Arogya Ashram is the perfect place to rebalance your mind, body and soul, in an authentic Nepali culture.
The Ashram Yoga Style
The main yoga style at the ashram is based on Hatha Yoga in the way recommended by Swami Sivananda and Swami Vishnudevananda.
Sivananda yoga style suggests a daily practice of the 12 Basic Asanas, 2 Pranayamas and Sun Salutation together with proper relaxation, awareness of the breath, body sensations and a focused mind. Proper exercise should be pleasant to the practitioner and beneficial to the body, mind and spiritual life.
In addition to this, we offer traditional hatha yoga practices, yoga nidra, a variety of pranayamas (breathing exercise), and meditation.
Some of our teachers offer different yoga styles such as vinyasa yoga, yin yoga, acro yoga and additional master classes or workshop. Contact us for more specific details!
