Program

Available year-round, Sivananda Yoga Ranch's yoga vacation program is designed to recharge your energy, rejuvenate your body and mind, and leave you feeling inspired, centered, and peaceful. Whether you are new to yoga or a well-established practitioner, this yoga vacation program invites you to step outside the challenges and complexities of everyday life and return to what’s important. Reconnect with yourself. Come immerse yourself in our traditional ashram environment set on 77 acres of beautiful, wooded land in the Catskill Mountains. Transform your life.

This powerful and harmonious program is based on the Five Points of Yoga by Swami Vishnudevananda. The secret is in tune to the ashram’s daily schedule. You can come for a weekend, a week, or better yet, stay for a couple weeks to experience the complete benefits a yoga lifestyle offers. You will begin to discover your true nature and develop skills to improve the health of your body and mind. You will establish a solid foundation to living a life of peace and happiness. The yoga ranch also offers special theme retreats to enhance your experience even further. These range from learning how to cook great vegetarian food to enjoying the performances of special music from guests from around the world and much more.

The Sivananda Yoga Ranch, an inspiring community of kindred spirits working together, is the perfect environment for you to practice Karma yoga (selfless service) on your yoga vacation. All guests are encouraged to participate for 45 minutes to an hour a day. Helping around the ashram not only gives you the opportunity to meet like-minded practitioners, connect, and be a part of this community, but it’s also a yogic gift that opens you into a deeper understanding of yourself. Being the first path of the Four Paths of Yoga, Karma yoga is the foundation on which all yogic practice is based.

Sivananda Yoga Ranch's teachings

The Five Points of Yoga

After closely observing the lifestyles and needs of people in the West, Swami Vishnudevananda noted that the ancient wisdom of yoga can be synthesized into five basic principles, which can easily be incorporated into your own lifestyle to provide the foundation for healthy living. It is around these five principles that the activities at the Sivananda Yoga Ranch and the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center New York City are based.

Proper exercise Sivananda yoga, Five Points of Yoga (asanas)

The asanas not only produce a strong healthy body but as exercises in meditation, they provide deep and powerful inner benefits.

Proper breathing Sivananda yoga, Five Points of Yoga (pranayama)

These specific breathing techniques align you with your natural energy, creating physical and mental rejuvenation, and promoting optimum health.

Proper relaxation Sivananda yoga, Five Points of Yoga (savasana)

Yoga teaches three levels of relaxation, which are physical, mental, and spiritual. Savasana is a vital part of keeping the body, mind, and spirit healthy.

Proper diet (vegetarian)

A yogi eats with awareness, choosing food that has the most positive effect on the body and mind and the least negative effect on the environment.

Positive thinking and meditation (Vedanta and Dhyana)

Life is evolving and accelerating. With Vedanta and meditation, the mind becomes calm and steady. Meditation is especially helpful for those with stressful lives.

Traveling to the Sivananda Yoga Ranch by the short line bus takes roughly two-half hours. The trip requires two bus tickets which are one ticket from New York City to Monticello and another ticket from Monticello onto Woodbourne.
