We offer residential retreats and online courses based on the authentic teachings of yoga, advaita and ta**ra. As one of the few authentic ashrams to be found outside of India, we provide a vibrant link between the spiritual teachings of the yogic sages and sincere seekers of the modern world. Founded in 1986, the Ashram has over the years been a source of profound learning and transformation for thousands of people from all walks of life. Our approach emphasises meditation, transformation, and the cultivation of direct insight through practice and personal experience. Our teachings draw on the deeply connected systems of classical yoga, advaita and ta**ra, aiming to support the cultivation of direct meditative insight into the fundamental nature of reality alongside the development of the full range of human potential. Our residential retreats are rare opportunities to go deeper into the mysteries of yoga in an environment of great natural beauty and focused spiritual energy. We also offer two kinds of online course: live courses broadcast via Zoom, and self-study courses provided through our own online portal. In addition to our retreats and courses we offer a free library of teachings. The library contains a wealth of articles, videos and audios on the philosophies and practices of yoga, advaita and ta**ra. We believe that genuine spiritual teachings exist for the benefit of everyone, and that money shouldn't be an obstacle to anyone accessing these teachings. For over 35 years yoga has been practiced as a way of life here at the Ashram by a community of dedicated practitioners under the guidance of an authentic yoga master. This has created a deeply-rooted culture of spirituality and charged the atmosphere with vibrant transformative energy. This powerful energetic container is enhanced by the natural beauty and tranquility of the Ashram's surroundings, creating an environment which is wonderfully conducive to genuine spiritual growth. In line with the ancient tradition of yoga, Mandala Yoga Ashram has since its founding been a place where the process of Awakening is supported and nurtured - a place where that which can barely be imagined can be realised in our own being as the ground of our very existence. Today we remain as committed to this vision as ever, and to the quality and authenticity of what we teach.
