A Peaceful Migration 🪿🌿

Every year, several families of Canada geese make their way to Sivananda Yoga Ashram — not for yoga, but to bring new life into the world.

They quietly build their nests around the ashram grounds, and soon, fluffy goslings appear. For weeks, we have the joy of watching these little ones grow, always closely guarded by their watchful parents. At times, the ashram seems filled with geese — wandering calmly between the temples, gardens, and lake.

They stay with us for weeks, raising their young in this quiet, loving environment. Then, when the goslings are grown and ready, the entire family takes flight, heading back to their northern home.

It’s always a joy to share space with them — a reminder of the harmony between nature and spiritual life.

🌿 Lavender Harvest at Sivananda Yoga Farm 🌿

A beautiful summer rhythm has begun here at the Sivananda Yoga Farm — the lavender fields are in full bloom, and our community has come together to begin the harvest. 💜

With loving hands and mindful presence, students, karma yogis, and staff are gathering the fragrant purple blossoms under the sun. This sacred harvest is more than just a seasonal task — it’s a practice of seva (selfless service) and deep connection to the Earth.

All the lavender collected will be distilled right here on the farm to create our own organic essential oil and hydrosol. These natural products will be used in our wellness offerings, Ayurveda treatments, and made available in our boutique — infused with the peace and intention of everyone who helped bring them to life.

From seed to scent, every step of this process reflects the yogic way of life: simplicity, sustainability, and unity with nature.

Stay tuned for more photos and stories from the fields! 🌞🌱💧

🌿✨ Grateful Hearts After a Joyful Family Yoga Camp at Sivananda Ashram! ✨🌿

What a beautiful journey it has been! Our Family Yoga Camp at the Sivananda Yoga Ashram has come to a close, and we’re overflowing with gratitude for the unforgettable moments shared.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 From laughter-filled kids’ yoga and soulful satsangs to peaceful meditation and creative activities, each day brought families closer — to each other, to nature, and to themselves.

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to all the families who joined us with open hearts, to the dedicated teachers and volunteers who guided and supported every step, and to the ashram for holding space for such deep connection and joy.

Until next time, may we carry the peace, joy, and unity of this week into our daily lives. 🕊️

Om Shanti 🙏

🌱💚 Little Hands, Big Hearts: Kids in the Garden at Sivananda Yoga Family Camp 💚🌱

One of the most joyful moments from our Family Yoga Camp was watching the children connect with nature in the ashram’s beautiful organic garden! 🧒👧

With tiny shovels, muddy fingers, and wide-eyed wonder, the kids learned about the magic of treating food with love and care. 🌿✨

Guided by our gardener and supported by the peaceful rhythm of ashram life, this hands-on experience helped nurture not just plants — but patience, responsibility, and a deep appreciation for the Earth. 🌎💫

These simple acts are powerful ways for children to practice mindfulness, live in harmony with nature, and embody the yogic value of karma yoga (selfless service). 🕊️

We’re so proud of our young gardeners! 🪻🌼🌽
