Shakti Sadhana: A Women’s Retreat in the Yogic Path of Power and Peace

Long before “wellness” became a product, women lived close to the Earth, to each other, and to the sacred.
They gathered to chant, to cleanse, to strengthen, to serve, to remember.
They knew their power as embodiments of Shakti—the living principle of movement that fuels all life.

At Sat Manav Yoga Ashram, you won’t just attend a retreat—you’ll step into a way of life that women have lived for millennia.
Nestled in the forested mountains of Maine, this is a place where the mind clears, the body heals, and your true nature—as a woman and as a human—comes forth.

Over the course of a weekend—or a full week immersed in the sacred rhythms of Yogic life—you’ll experience intimate, personalized guidance in a small group setting. In accordance with Yogic tradition, we keep our retreats intentionally limited in size to ensure every woman receives the depth and attention needed for true transformation. Space is limited—reserve now to ensure your place.

Morning Sadhana with Yogic asanas and breathwork (Pranayam) to purify, awaken, and release body and mind

Devi Pūjā and daily fire ceremonies (Dhuni)—ancient rites of goddess worship that uplift and empower

Evening chanting and meditation in a hand-built temple honoring the divine balance of feminine and masculine

Women’s rejuvenation practices, sauna purification, and natural therapies—no phones, no mirrors, no distractions; just healing, henna tattoos, herbs, and sacred sisterhood

Nature immersion on protected forest land with rivers, trails, and the stillness of a life without screens

Organic, whole-food, plant-based meals, prepared daily by initiated Yoginīs who live what they serve

To keep this retreat intimate and powerful this offering is open to 6 women guests, who will join our 10 resident women.

This is Shakti Sadhana—a return to the Divine Mother, to her power and presence, and to the eternal truth of what it means to live as a woman—not just in todays world, but since the dawn of time.

Whether you’re a mother, a daughter, a sister—or all of the above—this retreat will renew, rejuvenate, and empower you to align with the maternal force that uplifts not only yourself and your family, but all beings.

Come live what can’t be taught online.
Come remember what can’t be found in books.
Come discover what only a living lineage of Yoginīs can offer.
