Shanti Yoga Ashram is a vibrant blend of ashram, children’s school and home, fueled by a loving family. The vision for the ashram is to provide a nurturing environment for spiritual seekers to learn, develop, grow and contribute to their own spiritual growth and the growth of others.

Along with learning the technical and theoretical aspects of yoga, the ashram creates an environment where you can experience genuine yogic lifestyle. The ashram is located in a small town outside of Kathmandu, so you will be able to learn yoga within the context of Nepalese life and Eastern culture, the womb from which yoga was born. The ashram flows with the rhythms of life and is an ideal place to learn the art of acceptance and surrender, which lead to a permanent state of equanimity, the ultimate goal of practicing yoga.
​
For people who want to learn classical yoga with spiritual depth and experience traditional Nepalese culture, our homestay yoga ashram provides a unique and authentic opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the Land of Tantra, where yoga was born.

We are located about one hour away from Kathmandu, overlooking the Himalayan Mountains range. Peacefully nestled away from the agitation of the city, it is a small village with a vibrant local area and many temples around and 5mn walk from some shops.  We have about 10 rooms where we can welcome up to 20 guests. Generally we are between 5 to 15 sharing the yogic lifestyle together. Our rooms are  cozy and comfortable, there is a shared twin room with 2 single beds and a private room with single bed, shared western style toilet and hot water. Read more about our accommodation.

Shanti Ashram is the perfect sanctuary to go deeply into the essence of yoga. Life in the East allows us to come back in harmony with the nature and ourselves. We wake up generally early with the sunrise where we have some time for a self care practice, whatever that might feel good for us (can be meditation, chanting, talking a morning walk, journaling or simply appreciating the morning sun). We have then our first Tantra Yoga class with asana, pranayama and meditation. This is followed by yummy breakfast coming directly from our garden. In the morning, we have some rest or if we want we have one hour where we can help with the things to do in the ashram. From gardening to helping in the kitchen to teaching English to the kids, to cleaning, there are many things we can do to make this a place a special place where everybody can grow and learn.  Read more about our daily schedule or karma yoga.
