Tapas, Svadhyaya, Ishwara Pranidhana
A 90-day immersion into the Ashram way of life to deepen your Sadhana
From Theory to Practice
You have read the books. You have practiced the techniques. You have sought quiet moments at home. But true progress often requires a dedicated environment where the only focus is your practice.
This program is that environment.
The Tapas, Svadhyaya, Ishwara Pranidhana program is an opportunity to step away from your daily life for three months and live as a resident Sadhaka at Bharat Yogavidya Kendra.
This is not a certification course. It is not a holiday. It is a period of intense discipline designed for those who want to deepen their personal Sadhana.
At the Ashram, we remove the distractions—phones, social obligations, and idle talk. You will live simply, eat simply, and follow a strict routine. This structure allows you to stop discussing Yoga and start living it.
