Daily Yoga
At the heart of Karuna is a simple eco yoga hall. The morning class is free for all guests. Afternoons are quieter — yoga nidra, self-practice, or classes for children on request.
The essence of yoga
Yoga is an ancient spiritual discipline — more than four thousand years old — whose purpose is to raise the self. Today it is known worldwide for its physical and mental benefits. For us it is something older and simpler: a way of linking life with its source.
Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam — "All this is pervaded by the Lord."
Just as we wash, eat, sleep, and work to keep the body fit, a balanced life — material and spiritual — quietly organises itself around the Creator. The morning begins with Sūrya Namaskār and meditation. Food is offered before it is eaten. Service becomes karma yoga; devotion becomes bhakti yoga; even sleep has its practice, as Krishna says in the Gītā.
As Śrīla Prabhupāda often said — "You do not have to give up anything. Just add Krishna to your life."

The yoga retreat package
Our retreat package combines boarding and lodging so you can witness, participate in, and learn from the yogic life here — for the soul. For the body, you'll find organic food, self-sufficiency, off-grid energy, forestation, bio-architecture housing, and sustainable living — all part of the daily fabric of the place.
At Karuna Dham, material and spiritual are not at odds. They sit together.
