These six day healing retreats are offered several times a year. If you are dealing with a diagnosis or chronic pain, you should explore these offerings. The healing retreats are small, allowing for lots of individualized attention from the experts in the field. Your therapy program is tailored to your unique needs, and is overseen by Gurudevi Nirmalananda. Profound healing takes place in a short time, and you are supported once you go home. The lodging is modest and comfortable. The meals are healthy and delicious. The schedule allows space for rest and contemplation as well as healing and learning. It is a transformative experience!

After my upcoming trip to India to celebrate Gurudevi's special celebrations in November 2026... visiting the Svaroopa Vidya Ashram will be next on my bucket list. It is the home of my Guru and the devoted Svaroopa Swamis. Om Namah Shivaya

Svaroopa Vidya Ashram feels like Heaven on Earth to me. Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati, whom we affectionately call Gurudevi Ji, is the one who brings Heaven on Earth to life. I was very fortunate to attend a retreat with her this month, along with other Swamis and Yogi’s. Here I found Heaven, a place where my mind quiets down and I settle inside so deeply that I find my True Essence.

I attend Swami Sunday and Wednesday Satsang every Sunday and Wednesday on zoom. The Satsangs are free if you attend in person. Gurudevi Nirmalananda offers a discourse, giving modern day explanations of ancient teachings. There is chanting plus Gurudevi guides you in a meditation. These practices take me deep within every time.Her discourses can also be seen in the video archive .

I was just at an annual yoga retreat at the ashram. My fellow yogis were rich company lead by an expert group of swamis. If you are interested in yoga based on a long lineage of teachers, check out Svaroopa yoga. The calendar is full of opportunities. Enjoy!
