Integral Yoga Programs

We invite you to be part of our "Welcome Weekend" - a program designed to help you experience, perhaps for the first time, the benefits of Yoga practices in your life. Based on the teachings of Sri Swami Satchidananda, and taught by his students, this weekend program offers you guided experiences in meditation and Hatha Yoga (the physical postures, relaxation and breathing practices), informative videos, delicious vegetarian meals, a tour of the Ashram, hiking and our beautiful Interfaith Shrine, LOTUS. On Saturday evening, there is a public program called Satsang, which includes kirtan (chanting), a presentation by a senior member or a special guest, and a video of Sri Swami Satchidananda sharing his warmth and wisdom with us. The weekend concludes Sunday morning with a class on various branches of Yoga and how each benefits your life. Join us, won't you? Each weekend is a Welcome Weekend!

Yogaville is also home to the Light Of Truth Universal Shrine [LOTUS]. LOTUS is the realization of Sri Gurudev's universal teaching that "Truth is One, Paths are Many." For more than 40 years, he sponsored interfaith worship services and conferences. Witnessing the genuine peace and joy experienced by all participating in these gatherings, he was inspired to create a permanent place where all people could come to realize their essential oneness. Opened in July 1986, the LOTUS is dedicated to the Light of all faiths and to world peace, and it embodies Sri Gurudev's efforts to foster religious harmony throughout the world. Built in the shape of a lotus blossom—the ancient symbol for the spiritual unfoldment of the soul—the shrine is a sanctuary for silent meditation, contemplation and prayer. It displays altars for the world's faiths and is a place where people of all backgrounds come together under one roof to honor their individual traditions while realizing the ultimate spiritual unity of all.
