The Yogalaya Ashrama sits on the hills of Ganga Vatika, from which the Majestic Himalayas and the River Ganges can be seen. Yogalaya Ashram is a modern complex comprising of Shri Swami Shankaratilakananda´s personal residence who is the founder and current Abbot, a Yogashala Mandir for classes & puja and the Ganga Vatika Yoga guesthouse which serves as the residences for monks, students and visitors.

The complex is spacious, full of light and has a beautiful garden perfect for strolling. The fresh, pure mountain air and the cadence of the mantras, that can be heard from the nearby monasteries, make your stay here truly memorable.

The Ashram is the main center for monastic training of the Vedic Foundation, where throughout the year an intense program of Sadhana, spiritual practice is developed, in order to form and train the novice monks (Brahmacharis) and Swamis, the monk teachers of the Order.

Other training courses like Vyayam, Art of breathing, Maharishi Patanjali Yoga classic & traditional Hatha Yoga, Ayurveda and Vedic Dharma are also taught here.
