The Sivananda yoga ashram provides a wonderful, in-depth immersion in classical yoga. People looking for a cheap place to stay and party will be disappointed and disruptive, but people who wish to investigate yoga or deepen their practice will be pleased with the multidimensional offerings: meditation, chanting, asana, vegetarian buffet, clean accommodations, and educational programs. The one complaint I have,... More

The Sivananda Ashram in the Bahamas is fittingly located on Paradise Island, Nassau, Bahamas. Neatly nestled amongst a variety of forest, flora and fauna and cushioned on either end by the ocean, the peace and serenity of the Ashram remains undisturbed hustle and bustle of the world. It's a place where you can relax, unwind, and reconnect with You. By... More

Staying at the Ashram was truly a fantastic experience. The accommodations are clean, comfortable and homey. The people are the most warm and loving; they care how you are feeling and that you are enjoying the Ashram. The food was very good, especially the home-made bread. The yoga teachings are extremely good and the teachers help you to strengthen your... More

I was coerced to going to the Retreat by my wife. I went with an open mind and had a wonderful time. Yoga: I'd never done Yoga before but the beginner classes were very instructional and easy with no pressure. It was a great introduction to yoga. I graduated to the intermediate classes which were also very good but possibly... More

I treated myself to a solo stay at the Sivananda Ashram for my birthday. I have never experienced such serenity and peace. I was only able to stay for 5 days and that was not quite enough. I noticed most of the guests were staying anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks. You need at least a week to deflate... More

I don't think I have ever been so calm and relaxed. I found peace with the world in the six days I was there. I was there to attend Jeffrey Davis' "Yoga as Muse" writing course and strengthen my yoga practice, breathing, and meditation. But I also wanted to be in a tropical destination where I could enjoy a bit... More

never mind the horrible service, the fact that no one in the office can keep anything straight, that your requests go unanswered, that the utter lack of organization and leadership is appalling, that you will be treated poorly or with disdain if you do have a request or an issue, never mind the fact that the food is all carbs...

Great place to submerge in the spirituality, practice yoga, feel the spirit of community, break the normal daily routine (unless you get up at 5.30 am anyway) and discover how little we really need to be happy. Simple accommodation or tent space, great food (but not organic), helpful staff, great lectures and workshops given by staff and guest speakers, energizing... More

The Ashram is located on the romantic and very scenic paradise island. Food is vegetarian and outstanding. The ocean view is marvellous. If you are bored spending your holidays in a sunbed and being grilled, if you want to have soul stirring experiences instead, this is the right place for you. I am on the quest for eternal answers: why... More
