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 courses, celebrations, and teacher training 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.

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.
Coming to the Ashram as a retreat guest is a peaceful and flexible way to experience life in this vibrant spiritual community. A retreat at the ashram provides the perfect setting to experience yoga as more than just the physical practice. Reinvigorate and go deeper with your own yoga practice or experience an authentic introduction to these ancient teachings. Your retreat experience is yours to create. We are open to retreat guests year-round and the length of your stay is up to you.

Courses

Throughout the year, Yasodhara Ashram offers courses and workshops in Swami Radha’s teachings. Celebrations and special events are also part of our offerings.
