Ashrams have existed in India for thousands of years and are the very soil from which the seeds of Yoga grew worldwide. To transmit the knowledge and practice of Yoga, the enlightened Gurus, Self-Realized Masters and Sages of Yoga - from the ancient all the way to modern day - founded ashrams as living establishments of spiritual teachings that exemplify the synthesis of Yoga.
Ashrams range from one-person establishments to places with hundreds of residents. Most often, different ashrams emphasize different paths. SKYLIGHT YOGA™ ASHRAM has all paths. Established in the unbroken chain of knowledge called the Guru Parampara, the ashram provides safety and serenity for personal development and pursuing higher ideals in life.

The word ashram has another meaning - ashraya - implying 'safety,' 'retreat' or 'refuge.' An ashram is a haven, a place of retreat from the noisiness and busyness of the world, where we can have the time, energy and inspiration to reflect on what we are doing with our lives, where we are going and who we are. It gives us the opportunity of looking inwards to see how we function on a deeper level. An ashram is a place where the atmosphere is charged with sacred, healing and nurturing energy. A defining characteristic of ashrams is that the Teacher, Guru or Spiritual Preceptor of the ashram lives and instructs on-premise in order to facilitate the deepest interaction for students at all times. From this profound connection, aspirants gain spiritual nourishment, inner strength and wisdom.
Seekers of purity, focus and a shelter for physical and mental health also turn to ashrams for the discipline of the daily schedule. Ashrams are known for catalyzing inner transformation by taming the mind so that it becomes a vehicle for realization and expression of the deeper understanding, wisdom and joy of life. Therefore, an ashram is a place where we can face and work on our personal problems, negative habits and tendencies and thereby become liberated from their destructive hold on us. An ashram is a place where we can work, act and live with the attitude of loving kindness and selflessness to move toward the true meaning of enlightenment.
