Learning yoga is an art that requires deep concentration and dedication. However, for the attainment of the topmost level of concentration and dedication, the perfect environment and accommodation facility are required.
So, Shree Maha Yoga considers accommodation facilities as one of the important factors in gaining the supreme knowledge of yoga. Keeping this in mind, they instituted their residential premises in the calm, natural, and divine atmosphere of Rishikesh.
They believe that the benefits of yoga accelerate in a spiritual environment, starting from ancient eras, saints, and yogis who have been choosing the lap of nature to build their ashrams because of the fact that nature, in its virgin form, evokes a tremendous amount of positive energy. This energy is absorbed by the yogis to soak the knowledge of yoga in.
Thus, the need for a naturalistic environment to establish a yoga school and residential premises will always be there. Shree Maha Yoga follows the ancient yogic concepts, and thus plans all the learning premises and other facilities accordingly. However, they cannot deny the requirement of modern amenities too.
So by balancing both crucial aspects, they systemize accommodation facilities as a perfect blend of traditional yoga ashrams equipped with modern amenities. Residential premises reflect the essence of yoga ashrams to extract the maximum out of yoga and live the life of a traditional yogi for the period of yoga study.
Shree Maha Yoga also believes in the establishment of a second home so that their students will not miss the essence of their own homes during their course time, and so that they can still gain the maximum out of their course.
