Stay on the Ganges

An Ashram Retreat on the Ganges

Spirituality, Healing, and Service at Amrit Yoga Holistic Center

Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities on Earth. Situated on the bank of the sacred river Ganga, Varanasi has been a place of pilgrimage, learning and ritual for centuries.

Amrit Yoga Holistic Center is located within the Aghor Foundation campus on the southern edge of the holy city of Varanasi. At the heart of the campus is Bal Ashram, a peaceful oasis that overlooks and has direct access to the Ganges River. Here one can experience tranquil living amongst the laughter of children and the open-hearted people who have dedicated their lives to service. It is the perfect place to immerse yourself in spiritual practice (sadhana) and selfless service (seva).
