About Hatha Yoga

A combination of Yoga Asanas and Pranayama vitalises inner health, and makes the body a fit instrument for Bhakti, Seva and Dhyana.

— Swami Chidananda Sarawsati

Traditional Hatha Yoga classes are offered throughout the year at Ajatananda Ashram to assist spiritual seekers in harmonizing their bodies and minds through physical postures and breathing techniques. The course is designed to be an integral part of sadhana (spiritual practice and discipline) and, more specifically, as preparation for meditation.

Each class involves introductory prayers, shavasana (deep relaxation), asana (yogic postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), dhyana (meditation).

Teaching

The Hatha Yoga classes are conducted by qualified teachers of the Ashram.
The teachings are offered on a conscious donation basis.

All the programmes organized by the Ashram are offered free of charge. Ajatananda Ashram is a non-profit organization and, as such, depends entirely on donations to cover day to day expenses. If you feel inspired to support the Ashram and help it promote its activities in the field of non-dual teaching, hatha-yoga, meditation and interreligious dialogue, you are most welcome to do so by using the Donation Box after each class. You can also donate online.
All contributions are greatly appreciated and received with deep gratitude.

Registration

Registration is required. 

Registration forms are available at the Ashram. Prospective students are most welcome to fill and submit their forms around 16:00 before the satsang starts. They can also submit their forms online by following this link. Due to limited availability of places, those who are interested in attending are requested to apply at least a week or more ahead.

Location

Ajatananda Ashram is located at the bank of the Ganges, in the village Tapovan (District: Tehri-Garhwal), which is about 4 kilometres North-East from Rishikesh.

The ashram is only 5 minutes walk from the Laxman Jhula Bridge, on the right riverbank (follow the upper path behind the German Bakery, which overlooks the Ganges). The ashram is upstream, at the very end of the path, where it turns left towards the small village adjoining it.
