Yoga Vacation
Relax, Recharge, and De-stress
Rejuvenate with a Yoga Vacation
Our yoga vacation program is designed by Swami Vishnudevananda in the 1960s following the footsteps of Swami Sivananda. It is available during specific dates listed on our Program Calendar and will recharge your energy, rejuvenate your body and mind. In addition, it will give you a feeling of being strong, calm and ready for daily challenges. Finally, a stay at the Ashram will help you to:
- Reconnect with beautiful Nature
- At the same time, progress with daily yoga practice
- Connect with your own Self in meditation practice
- Be part of a community from all over the world
- Renew and Refresh your life

Simple Living and High Thinking
This wonderfully balanced program integrates the 5 Points of Yoga of Swami Vishnudevananda in daily life. Furthermore, this daily program is in tune with the rhythms of Nature and of our body. Thus by adhering to the daily schedule we bring back our natural resource of energy, joy, and health. In addition, you can drop in or visit any length of time and experience the complete benefits of yoga life.

Have a Taste of Community Life (Karma Yoga)
“Yoga is skill in the performance of actions. Yoga brings a message of hope, of joy to the depressed and strength to the weak. It is a perfect practical system of self culture.”
– Swami Sivananda
For 45 years, the Yoga Farm has been an inspiring community of volunteers. These young and old karma yogis have come from all steps of life. They have different skills to offer and worked together with love and dedication to build up a rich, heartfelt environment.
In order to feel a part of this flow of energy, we offer to the guests the opportunity to assist the volunteer staff in some daily tasks 1 hour a day. For this the guests can help in the garden, in the kitchen, in the beautification of buildings and the general upkeep.
To sum up, Karma Yoga (selfless service) is an integral part of the richness of your yoga vacation. On top of that, you will enjoy meaningful new connections and continue satsang at home for a long time.
What’s more, Karma yoga opens the heart and removes the feeling of isolation that comes from the ego. It is a practical path of yoga to find union.
