A truly transformative experience. Highly recommended for everyone who are willing to explore themselves and connect to their inner self. I stayed in Himalayan Yog Ashram for 6 nights, which had an effect on me that is comparable to a year of practice. The stay was very pleasant, as the everyone in the staff were really nice (including the cook and the cleaners), not to speak about the teacher, receptionist and the master, Ram. The beds are relatively comfy (medium hard mattresses), the space is extremely clean, and they give you all you need. The food is just fantastic (mostly Chai, a really good Thali and Chapati). There are not many people as this is a "Boutique" Ahsram, but the guests are usually very nice and open people. Although I have been practicing yoga daily for 4 years now, the Ashram has helped my body reach new limits I didn't know it was able to reach. Additionally, for a long time I wanted to integrate meditation into my life, and the Ashram really helped me with this one. It has been over a month since I left, and I still do meditation (almost) every day. Ram (the master) has a lot of wisdom and he is sharing it with the students with great excitement. He has a phenomenal ability to help you meet with yourself, a characteristic of him that could be challenging for some people. However, if you really listen sincerely you will be grateful to him for helping you transform yourself. I recommend visiting the Ashram and asking to your and see the rooms, studio and roof. You will meet the staff, guests, food, studio, balcony and roof. They are showing the space willingly so you can decide for yourself.…

Throughout my 5 weeks ashram stay, I felt very safe and taken care of. The classes were taught by devoted and inspiring teachers who open your eyes to the world of yoga, ayurveda, philosophy, the Indian culture, meditation and self-development. Moreover, the ashram has a very special and pure atmosphere. Yogi Ram, Sham, Teju, Sagar and Kapil are the warmest people you’ll meet. As for accommodation, the facilities are exceptional. The rooms have comfortable beds and a clean bathroom. The yoga shala has good equipment and there’s a beautiful view on the rooftop. The food is also delicious! Whether the intention is to meditate, learn or just relax, this is the place to be.

This is an honorable place, the teaching is of an impeccably high standard. Yogi Ram is a genuine compassionate and inspiring man, he and his team pay special attention to the needs and progress of the students. Much kindness, respect and support we received here, this is not "new age circus" but time honoured teachings and techniques. Our time here provided us with a crucial perspective and acceptance of ourselves and our path. Rooms, facilities and food were all fantastic. ♥️🙏

When you are looking for an ashram with authentic and traditional teachings, then you are at the right place in Himalayan Yog Ashram. I am a solo female traveler and felt very comfortable and safe in the ashram from the very first moment. It is a place where you can feel at home. The whole ashram team is very friendly, helpful and warm-hearted. The daily schedule contains meditation, pranayama, mantra chanting, yoga asana practices, philosophy and methodology classes. Yogi Ram did the philosophy and meditation classes with sincerity and passion. They were very inspiring and valuable lessons for me and I took much out of them. There was always the opportunity to ask questions which were taken seriously and answered profoundly by Yogi Ram. He truly lives what he teaches! The pranayama classes were one of my favorite classes during the day. Before I had heard several times how important breathing was for our well-being, but only in the ashram I experienced its power. Also the yoga asana sessions were great. I came to the ashram with almost no experience in yoga and was able to pick up quickly. Here, yoga is taught in a traditional and holistic approach. This was very different from what I encountered so far in the Western world where I experienced yoga more as a fitness program. What else to say: They offer a variety of ayurvedic treatments and massages. During my 6 weeks stay, I tried almost all of them and I enjoyed them a lot. The rooms are clean and comfortable. In general, the whole ashram is very tidy and well maintained. The food is organic and cooked with love. Also there is a water filter so that you always have safe drinking water. In total, this ashram is the right place for you when you want to experience authentic, qualitative teachings that touch your heart and soul. …

The Himalyan Yog Ashram is a place to remember forever. A unique team of talented, passionate and lovely people doing things they really believe and practice. Yogi Ram is a special person, with a knowledge and kindness that can touch your heart. Teju is a very knowledgeable ayurveda teacher with an eagerness to help and great hability to teach yoga to beginners and super experienced students alike. Kapil chant mantras that vibrate in your soul. Sager teach yoga with such a smile that you enlighten your afternoons. Natali (probably I spelled it wrong) gave me the best therapies I had in India. And Shyam and the staff keep the place and activities always pristine. Together, they consolidated a complete and solid program that covers way beyond the great postures you'll learn, immersing you in the philosophy and practices of the vedic tradition. All of it in a place that has all the amenities and attention to detail to make you feel at home, from the mosquito nets on the windows and doors, to the beds and shower, everything is clean and peaceful. Thank you guys, you are awesome. See you soon! Namaste!…

Amazing experience. The first couple of days can be tough, but then you will not want to leave anymore! Great classes (pranayama, hatha and ashtanga yoga, philosophy and meditation), simple but good food, rooms above my expectations (very clean and with everything you need).

I had a very special time here at Himalayan Yog Ashram. The room are above Indian standards in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The place feels like home: Ram, Siam and the rest of the staff will make you feel part of the family. Very safe place, both the ashram and the city itself, especially for solo female travelers. They have a very good daily schedule of meditation, pranayama, Hatha yoga, satsang and enough time off during the day as well to enjoy the city. When I was there I followed the 5days Detox program which I highly recommend: a very basic and liquid diet combined with one different Ayurveda treatment a day. Also, not to forget, the best Masala Chain in town!☺️🙏🏻

Just completed a weeks stress relief retreat at the Himalayan Yog Ashram. The teachers and staff are very kind and helpful. The retreat program is varied and plentiful and the ayurvedic therapist is very thorough. The building has been recently refurbished and so the rooms and facilities are very modern and clean. I would recommend it for sure!

Room Tip: The area around the Ashram is becoming more built up so there is less greenery around the place...

My stay at Himalayan yog ashram was everything I needed and more. I chose to stay here based on positives reviews I read online and it certainly lived up to expectations. I was warmly welcomed by everyone, my room was clean and had everything I needed. I was very comfortable and slept well each night. The yoga studio is spacious, bright and I looked forward to spending my time there. The food is delicious, I loved the juices that were part of the cleanse and especially the kitchari. The boys in the kitchen are super sweet and always asked if we wanted more food or tea at any time in the day. I did the 6 day yoga, Ayurveda detox stay. The Ayurveda treatments were amazing, Kiran is wonderful and I felt so comfortable with her. I loved all the teachers, I felt like in my short 6 days I learnt so much about myself, my body and health through yoga and Ayurveda. I left feeling fantastic; lighter, open minded and light hearted. There was no better way to end my India trip than with this experience. I would come back to do my yoga teacher training here! I highly recommend!…
