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, at Shree Maha Yoga consider accommodation facilities as one of the important factors in gaining the supreme knowledge of Yoga. Keeping this in mind, they instituted the residential premises in the calm, natural, and divine atmosphere of Rishikesh.
Shree Maha Yoga believes that the benefits of yoga accelerate in the spiritual environment. From the ancient era, saints and yogis chose the lap of nature to build their ashrams because of the fact that nature in its virgin form evolves a tremendous amount of positive energy. This energy is absorbed by the yogis to soak in the knowledge of yoga.
Thus the need for a naturalistic environment to establish the yoga school and residential premises is always there. Shree Maha Yoga follows the ancient yogic concepts and thus plans all the learning and other facilities accordingly. However, they cannot deny the modern amenities requirement too.
So by balancing both crucial aspects, they systemize the accommodation facilities as a perfect blend of traditional yoga ashrams equipped with modern amenities. The residential premises reflect the essence of the yoga ashrams to extract the maximum out of yoga and live the life of a traditional yogi for the period of yoga study. They believe in the establishment of a second home so that one cannot miss the essence of the home during their course time so that one can gain maximum out of their course.
Distinctive features of the accommodation facilities
- Neat and clean accommodation rooms for yoga students
- Spacious, well-maintained, and clean yoga halls in the lap of nature to increase the efficiency of yoga learning
- One can find basic amenities like restaurants, ATMs, health care, bookshops, groceries, cyber cafes, etc. near the residential premises
- Rooms at Shree Maha Yoga can be selected on a sharing and private basis
- Healthy, satvic, and organic diet for energizing the body for the yogic workout.
- Residential premises under 24-hour CCTV surveillance
Rooms are available with modern facilities such as a hot water supply, free Wi-Fi, attached bathrooms, hot water supply, 24-hour electricity supply backup, laundry services, and filtered drinking water supply.
