Taste of the Ashram: An Introduction to Yasodhara

Have you been curious about Yasodhara Ashram and wanted a glimpse into Ashram life? Or perhaps you already know the Ashram and would enjoy spending a peaceful day reconnecting with yourself.

Join us for a Taste of the Ashram — an introduction to our teachings, community and spiritual environment.

What to Expect

Hatha Yoga 11:00 am – 12:15 pm

Begin your day with a gentle Hatha Yoga class in the beautiful Radha Room, overlooking forests and mountains. This practice offers space to relax, renew and arrive fully in the present moment.

Silent Lunch 12:30 – 1:15 pm

Enjoy a nourishing buffet lunch in silence, allowing you to fully appreciate the food and the atmosphere. Many ingredients are grown right here in the Ashram gardens and prepared with care as part of our Karma Yoga practice. Sit on our deck and enjoy breathtaking views of the lake and mountains.

Ashram Tour 1:15 – 2:15 pm

Allow our guides to offer a tour of the Ashram grounds, gardens and the Temple of Light. Learn about the legacy of Swami Radha and her vision of establishing a women-led Ashram more than sixty years ago.

Time for Reflection & Browsing 2:15 - 3:00pm

After the tour, you are welcome to spend quiet time in the Temple of Light for personal reflection or visit our Gift Store featuring spiritual books and thoughtfully curated items.

We look forward to welcoming you for a meaningful and restorative day at Yasodhara Ashram.

This retreat guides you to recognize your power of choice and reconnect with your inner potential, cultivating greater clarity, intention and self-trust.

Drawing on the wisdom of both intuition and rational insight, this process supports you in exploring your inner landscape and opening to the mystery and potential that resides within you.


96.5FM is back!

Dear Kaslo, Crawford Bay, and East Shore listeners,

We missed you. So as soon as the weather mellowed out a bit, KCR stuffed a 40 pound battery backup into a hiking pack, braved the mountain pass, and hiked through the snow up to the tower to get things up and running again.

Thank you for your patience and your continued support!
