Atam Ananda is our signature short immersion at Yogada — an ashram-style retreat above the Ganges.

Forest walks, a stream-fed pool, and two sacred excursions round out the four days.

  • Twice-daily yoga across asana, pranayama, kriya & dhyana
  • Kundalini initiation with Shakti Pat guidance
  • Organic Himalayan meals & herbal teas throughout
  • Abhyanga + Shirodhara Ayurveda sessions included
  • Vashistha Cave meditation & evening Ganga Aarti
