Our Ashram’s Retreat Center is NOW OPEN!
In the pristine mountains of Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast, the Sat Yoga Ashram awaits your arrival. Our idyllic spiritual retreat center on the sacred land of Arunachala (named for the holy mountain where the great sage Ramana Maharshi lived and taught) is now open to serve you. If you are ready for a deep inner journey of healing and Self-realization, a loving meeting with a compassionate community and a wise spiritual guide, for communion with Nature and the bliss of non-duality, then this may just be the sacred destination you have been dreaming of.
Sat Yoga Meditation Retreats
are designed to offer a balanced program of inner and outer practices. There is plenty of time reserved for sitting meditation—the first sitting starts at 4am for those who want to greet the dawn in sublime states of samadhi—but also time for asanas and glorious walks to see the many species of exotic birds, the monkeys, the waterfalls; and to pick vegetables in the gardens or plant trees in the food forests; plus time to relax—by the river, in the sauna, in Mahatma Lodge, or in your quiet and comfortable cabin; plenty of time to read, to journal, to reflect on your life; time for deep and enlivening conversation; time to listen to profound teachings; to engage in a variety of transformative processes—that may include transcendental breathwork, movement and dance, chanting, dreamwork, shaktipat and pranic healing, and group sharing. Delicious and hearty vegetarian meals and refreshments will be served as well.
Come to Arunachala and renew your life! Awaken to the One Supreme Self within your Heart! Abide in the timeless peace and divine love of your true Essence! Melt into the grace of natural bliss in this beautiful tropical environment of abundant Nature! This may well prove to be the most special and sacred week of your entire life!
