Lessons from Being Staff at the Sivananda Ashram : Lesson 1
Waking before sunrise… not out of duty, but because the stillness and silence draw you in.
Lesson 2
Service becomes its own form of practice. The simplest tasks soften the ego far more than any advanced posture.
Lesson 3
Community becomes your mirror. Your support system. The people who walk beside you as you grow, unravel, and rebuild.
Lesson 4
Living yoga is very different from doing yoga. It reshapes you from the inside out.
Lesson 5
Joy isn’t born from comfort—it rises from connection. With yourself, with others, with nature, with consciousness itself.
Lesson 6
Sunrise, snow, forest, long corridors, chanting bells… everything becomes part of your practice.
Lesson 7
Being staff isn’t a role. It’s a transformation. A remembering of who you are beneath all the noise.
The ashram changes the way we work, the way we serve, the way we live.
And it keeps shaping us—long after we leave.
