The Arhanta Yoga Ashram India is a traditional yoga training school following the 'Gurukula' system. The Yoga ashram, spanning over 17 acres of lush green land, situated amidst beautiful serene nature, surrounded by hills, forests, endless fields and meadows is located near Khajuraho. Khajuraho is an ancient city, also known as the City of Temples, in Madhya Pradesh, India. The natural beauty and varied landscaping of the region 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.
The life at our yoga ashram is simple and focused only on the teachings and your spiritual growth rather than on the comforts of normal daily 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 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 and peaceful environment gives you the chance to renounce your material dependencies and to bring your focus within. At the same time it allows 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 to go deeper into your yoga and meditation practice.
