in life-force energies. Ashrams offer a truly unique setting to immerse
in yoga practice and be exposed to timeless wisdom teachings. The key
characteristics of ashram life are simplicity, structure, and community.
The Sivananda ashram in the Bahamas is both a place of study and
retreat as well as a lively education center, and is maintained by a staff
of devoted yogis and spiritual teachers. People come here from around
the world to deepen their yoga practice and experience a yogic lifestyle,
supported by the abundant energies of the ocean, sun, trees, and plants.

In the tradition of Swami Sivananda’s ashram, we are open to everyone
and actively promote unity in diversity, welcoming people from all walks
of life for short and long stays, and serving as a spiritual home.
