We have a strong commitment to sustainability.

We offer three 200-hour certified Yoga Teacher's Training courses throughout the year. This 4-week course is styled after the ancient Gurukula system in which students live, study, and work with their teachers and fellow students in an ashram. Through hands-on learning and guidance, deepen your practice and gain the skills needed to teach yoga. Our graduates receive an internationally recognized certification through the worldwide Yoga Alliance confirming they have the practical knowledge and experience to teach Hatha Yoga (asanas, pranayama and relaxation).

Authentic Classical Yoga Experience
As I checked into the reception for my 3 day yoga retreat, I felt a deep spiritual vibe. I felt it everywhere over the 3 days of my Bhakti yoga retreat at the Sivanand Yoga Ranch.
Be it the twice daily Hatha Yoga classes, the satsangs, the communal meals or the seva opportunites, everything gives you a feeling of being in a spiritual home.
Our teachers Satyadev and Satyabhama made the retreat extra special with mantra chanting in their beautiful voices and their spiritual insights.
This ashram gave me a preview into an alternate spiritual life diametrically opposite to the material one we are all used to.
Definitely will come back for sure, hopefully for a longer stay.

Om all around
It’s as though the sound of Om is just humming all around the ranch. Peace and tranquility permeate the air. The yoga practice gets better as the time goes on and you feel a real uplifting I’m the spirit and body. The karma yogis do an amazing job at shepherding the experience and the food is so delicious. I even came home and cooked in the spirit of their recipes. Go and enjoy the ranch and the practice of this beautiful yoga and meditation
