Events & Activities
Yoga is a daily practice — but some moments ask for more room.
A weekend retreat away from the noise. A workshop to go deeper into one technique. A celebration that ties us to a tradition thousands of years old. These gatherings break the routine and return us to daily practice with fresh breath.
On this page you'll find what's happening at Āshram Gaya — dates, times and bookings. Some of these moments only make sense lived together.
