Nestled in the beautiful, wooded land of the Catskill Mountains, the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch offers a quiet, peaceful space for deep practice and personal retreat. Maintained by a small group of dedicated practitioners, our ashram provides a supportive sanctuary for a reset, self-reflection, study, and spiritual growth.

We recognize that many people now work remotely and can greatly benefit from living close to nature while remaining immersed in the spiritual vibrations of the ashram. Our Residential Program is open to spiritual seekers, writers, students, and remote workers alike—offering full access to ashram Wi-Fi so you can seamlessly balance your daily responsibilities or personal creative projects with meditation, study, and self-care.

Program Requirements:

Minimum Commitment: A one-month stay (29 nights / 30 days) to allow enough time to establish a steady rhythm.

Daily Practice & Service: Guests are expected to maintain a daily personal yoga and meditation practice, participate in a minimum of one hour per day of karma yoga (selfless service around the ashram), and honor all ashram guidelines to help maintain our shared peaceful environment.
