Arhanta Yoga Ashram India - Yoga School & Retreat

Become Part of Our Traditional Yoga School and Learn Yoga, Pranayama & Meditation in the Ancient ‘Gurukula’ System

The Arhanta Yoga Ashram India is a traditional yoga training school following the ‘Gurukula’ system. The Yoga ashram spans over 17 acres of lush green land, situated amidst beautiful, serene nature, surrounded by hills, forests, endless fields and meadows near Khajuraho. Khajuraho is an ancient city, also known as the City of Temples, in Madhya Pradesh, India. The region’s natural beauty and varied landscaping make it a unique location for an ashram. At our ashram, you can experience professional Yoga teacher training. If you are simply looking for an ashram experience, you can join our Yoga Vacation

Life at our yoga ashram is simple and focused only on the teachings and your spiritual growth rather than on the comforts of everyday life. It is important to understand that an ashram is minimalist in facilities and does not offer luxuries like a hotel. We provide a calm environment to experience the yogic lifestyle and focus on self-reflection and growth.

The Arhanta Yoga ashram in India is the perfect place to follow a spiritual practice. It provides a peaceful, serene and secluded environment where you can focus entirely on your physical, mental, and spiritual growth, rejuvenation and an inspiring learning experience. The quiet peaceful setting allows you to renounce your material dependencies and bring your focus inward. At the same time it will enable you to connect with the beautiful nature around you, experiencing a deep connection with the creation. The secluded and beautiful location promotes clarity and self-reflection that helps you to go deeper into your yoga and meditation practice

Arhanta Yoga Ashram India Facilities

Arhanta Yoga India balances simplicity with comfort. This ashram is designed to give you a true Indian yoga experience while helping you focus on what really matters: your yoga journey.

Eco-Friendly Practices

Our grounds celebrate both nature and sustainable living. You’ll find decades-old fruit trees scattered throughout, offering seasonal fruits like guavas, mandarins, and oranges—a delicious snack for our students.

We’ve embraced eco-friendly practices here. A portion of our ashram runs on solar power, reducing our environmental footprint. We also maintain a strict no-waste policy: excess food is shared with nearby villages, while food scraps are composted, returning nutrients to the earth.

Yoga and Meditation Spaces

At the heart of our ashram are two spacious yoga halls. These spaces are where you’ll spend much of your time, challenging yourself, growing in your practice, and forming bonds with fellow students.

The grounds feature plenty of open green spaces too, perfect for quiet reflection, meditation, or outdoor yoga practice.

Room Options

When it comes to rest, we have two types of accommodation:

Food at Arhanta

At Arhanta Yoga India, we believe good food is a key part of your yoga journey. Our menu is inspired by Ayurvedic principles—simple, vegan, and sattvic. It’s designed to support your practice, nourish your body, and elevate your mind throughout your stay with us.

Yoga-Inspired Eating Plan

Your day starts early with meditation and pranayama, followed by a light Indian breakfast like sweet daliya porridge. Lunch is served just before noon, and we offer healthy snacks throughout the day. Dinner’s at 5:30 pm, and we round off each evening with a soothing herbal tea.

Fresh and Local Ingredients

In our kitchen, we’re committed to freshness and quality. We use organic ingredients, locally sourced from farmers in our community when possible. You’ll enjoy a variety of Indian dishes during your stay, from cauliflower curries with dal to comforting soups and fresh salads.

Enriched by Ayurveda

Ayurveda teaches that food is medicine, and we take this to heart. We encourage students to swap caffeine for herbal teas and fresh, RO filtered water, supporting your body’s natural detoxification processes. Meals are also eaten mindfully and in silence. It might feel strange at first, but many students find it enhances digestion and promotes reflection.

Many of our students leave with a new perspective on food and health—it’s a transformation we’re honored to be part of. So come with an open mind and a healthy appetite.

Note: We’re happy to accommodate various dietary needs, including vegetarian diets, intolerances, and food allergies. Just inform us before you arrive, and we’ll ensure you’re well-catered for.
