SUMMER ASHRAM RETREAT

Joy of Simple Living

Loenen

All-inclusive retreat

max. 15 people

A whole weekend to uplift your entire summer: surrounded by forest, fresh air, traditional yoga, nourishing food and beautiful company all in an authentic Ashram setting.

Hidden in the green nature of the Loenense Bossen, Sada Shiva Dham offers a unique atmosphere that feels like a small piece of India in the middle of the Netherlands. A place where life naturally slows down and the days are guided by simplicity, nature and traditional yogic rhythms.

We wake with the sun, practice Himalayan Kundalini Kriya Yoga and Hatha Yoga together, share vegetarian Ayurvedic meals, spend time outdoors, walk through the forest, sing mantras during Kirtan, gather for Aarti and sacred fire ceremonies, and experience the beauty of Ashram-style living in an authentic and grounded way.

If you have always been curious about visiting an Ashram in India but have not yet had the chance, this retreat offers a beautiful opportunity to experience that atmosphere closer to home.

The retreat is open to all levels - whether you are completely new to yoga, a dedicated practitioner, or a yoga teacher wanting to reconnect with the roots of the practice. There is space for all.
