This is a great opportunity to take time out between study commitments, work placement, end of a contract, a healthy & new space for school leavers or to reassess where to next.

No prior yoga experience is necessary.

Transformation does require you to be willing to move past what is comfortable.


The aim of this opportunity is to put your yoga awareness, inspiration and aspiration in the right context, the right order of choice and experience how it feels to live consciously and fully leading to self transformation and evolution of consciousness.

The systematic practices of yoga and ashram life, taught by Swami Satyananda, bring about a transformation of the whole consciousness of the individual. Changes take place across the entire spectrum of human existence on an emotional, intellectual, psychic and intuitive level.
