The best ashram for practicing yoga and meditation! They teach traditional Himalayan knowledge in beautiful nature with a lot of trees and flowers. All houses are newly renovated, very beautiful. This is perfect place to practice silence, all in individual approach, and in very peaceful environment. Approach is very personalized with respect for every tradition and guru lineage. Also, food is delicious, they have vegetable gardens and cow farm, food is really satwic. In Swami Rama ashram everybody is fully dedicated and very skillful. Thank you so much!

A lovely place to deepen your spiritual practice and learn about the different facets of yoga - hatha yoga, breathing practice, meditation and more. My wife and I felt very welcome and supported, giving us the courage to do a few days of silence there. Also nice to be outside the main noisy town, which didn't have much charm for me. A very tranquil, clean ashram to spend 15 days.
