Yoga-Vana

The Yoga Holiday is a great way to go on vacation and really feel a difference. It is designed to give you an experience of the yogic lifestyle based on the ancient teachings of India to recharge your batteries and rejuvenate your body and mind to leave you feeling inspired, refreshed, centred and peaceful.

Course Design

Yoga Holidays participants are required to follow the daily schedule, which includes plenty of time for socializing, learning, and relaxing. All guests attend morning and evening medtitations, the afternoon lecture and both yoga classes each day to make the most of your stay and to contribute to the community experience.

Each day starts with meditation practice and ends with silent time and Kirtan, a practice that is at the core of yoga life. Here, we meditate silently, join together to joyfully chant and listen to an inspiring talk or reading on yoga. Yoga asana classes are held twice a day at 7.30 am and 3.30 pm. The classes are based on the classical yoga asanas, along with pranayama and sun salutations. The focus is on mastering the basic asanas from which variations are then added to further strengthen the practice.

All levels of practitioners from beginners to advanced are welcome.

Teaching Team

All Hatha Yoga classes and lectures will be conducted by Yoga Vana team members with extensive teaching experience in all aspects of the practice of Yoga.
Mani Raman, lead teacher at Yoga Vana, will guide the morning and evening meditations and satsang.

Location & Climate

The Yoga Holiday takes place at the Holistic Centre for Yoga & Vedanta founded by Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati in Amboli, a hill station in southern Maharashtra just 110 km from Goa International Airport. Perched on the hills of the Western Ghats, one of India's most diverse ecosystems, this secluded venue offers a peaceful natural environment that is very conducive for an in-depth study and practice of Yoga and meditation.
