    The Concept/Ideology

    The whole sole idea of Ashiyana is to achieve Satyananda - the     happiness of truth. Though it is very difficult to achieve it in short span of 10 days (minimum days of Yoga Course), it is more difficult for those who achieve it. It is not a easy task to live a truthful life - which they teaching Ashiyana.

    The Concept of Yoga

    Yoga in Ashiyana begins with Satsanga. Including this Satsanga is the Satyananda - a meeting with oneself to find out the truth of happiness lying within oneself. Satyananda is a gift which brings out the deepest stimuli from inside - the path towards happiness begins from here. There are a few steps one has to follow once he is in Ashiyana.
  • Its your second home, be free here and happy.
  • Try to attach yourself with nature. Getting up early is not the question, its how much you can hear in silence.
  • As you sit in the position of meditation, be in that state not only from body but also mind.
  • There are different workshops here one has to participate in - the Art, Music and Craft Classes.

    • The idea is not to become a Yogi but to have a hold on the Spirit to refrain it from divulging. Purity of mind and cleansing of thoughts is to be achieved here - by living in the world and not running away from the world.
