Buddhi's experience . . .

I spent 2 ½ weeks studying at the Sat Yoga Institute and, in that time, my heart opened and my perception of who I truly am and who you are as well, completely shifted.  It’s difficult to articulate in a way that truly conveys the power and beauty of the transformation that took place there for me.

The process included a series of private sessions with Shunyamurti, the Director of the Sat Yoga Institute, who is nothing less than a highly evolved Sage who was able to help me empty myself of worn out perceptions and fears that kept me from being in a state of joy.  He did this through assisting me in interpreting my dreams, surrounding me with unconditional love and showing me the way to directly experience the ever present love of God.

In addition to time spent with Shunyamurti, I was also embraced by the healing power of the community at the Sat Yoga Institute.  The full time students, part time students staff and a monk there create a family that functions at the highest level I have ever had the privilege to be a part of.  With them I meditated, practiced asana’s, studied a wide variety of teachings and laughed. I truly felt at home for the first time in my life.


This work is not for the faint of heart.  It takes courage and discipline to engage in the process of identifying and letting go of long held beliefs and to allow for new awareness to be born within.  During my time there, my body and Spirit was nurtured by the beautiful food that was prepared by the radiant Radha.  Her creations were a direct expression of the most divine love and each meal fed every part of my being.

I learned more about myself, and the world I live in, than I have in all 48 years of my life.  Little by little, the light from within me became brighter and brighter.  And now that I’m back in California, that light continues to shine in a way that I never knew was possible.  If you have a desire to move forward toward your own light, if you feel as though you would like to increase the level of joy and love in your life, take some time for yourself and experience what the Sat Yoga Institute has to offer. It is truly the best thing I have ever done for myself, my family and the community as a whole.

Namaste,  Buddhi

Sat Yoga Retreat Announcement

To Prospective Visitors: Please note that we are now in process of constructing our rural ashram. We do not yet reside there, nor can we yet offer any retreats there, nor any space for volunteers. We will inform you when the ashram officially opens. In the meantime, because we are working very hard to get the ashram ready for residency, we can no longer offer full immersion / karma yoga retreats at our urban center. You are welcome to apply to come as a visitor, and if accepted you will receive an orientation and you will be able to attend all general classes (G) and meditation sittings, but we cannot guarantee that we will have time to offer individual sessions during this period. Visitors are responsible for arranging their own lodging, meals, and other details of their stay. We will provide a listing of hotels and B&Bs nearby to those who request such information. Thank you for your cooperation.
