Come experience bhakti
The yoga of the heart — free evenings of song, stillness, wisdom and shared food in Rishikesh, with people who feel like family.
a different kind of yoga school
What happens here
Rishikesh is full of yoga schools for the body and the breath. Ours begins a little further in. Bhakti — the yoga of the heart — is a genuine spiritual practice for seekers: a way of getting to know yourself and the Divine.
The practice itself is wonderfully ordinary. We sing together, sit quietly together, ask the big questions honestly, and share a meal afterwards. People walk in curious and walk out lighter.

This week in the hall
It’s summer, so Saturday carries the week — Wednesday and Thursday evenings return in October.
Once a year · every October
Kirtan Mela
Five evenings of song where the Himalayas begin.
Every October, singers and seekers from all over the world squeeze into one warm hall and sing until the walls hum. Free, like everything we do.

The Bhakti Ashram Experience
Three weeks of living the way the ashram lives. Mornings that start with singing, days filled with study and service, evenings that end together. It rearranges you, gently.
Next intake: 1–21 October 2026 — details & application on the Ashram page.
