Every living being on Earth has a diet nature intended for it. A lion eats meat. A cow eats grass. A hummingbird drinks nectar. If they eat anything else, they weaken, lose their health, and eventually die. Even our cars are the same—put diesel in a gasoline engine and it won’t run. Humans are no […]

For thousands of years, the Rishis—the wisest sages the world has ever known—studied life itself. They discovered a universal truth: every being is designed to serve a life-enhancing purpose that benefits all of existence. And they left us the precise science for how to live that purpose. This is Yoga. Not exercise, not escape—a concrete, […]

Vrischika Sankranti marks the sun’s transition into Scorpio, renewing its strength as the year’s cycle continues.

As the bearer of all life, its movement has a significant effect on our lives, so much so that the Hindu tradition sees […]

At Sat Manav Yoga Ashram, mantra is woven into everything we do—from our sunrise practice, to […]

In India, Vasant Panchami marks the turn toward spring, honoring Saraswati—the goddess of wisdom, creativity, and learning. Here in Maine, we are still deep in winter, yet this festival reminds us that even in the cold and quiet, growth is stirring beneath the surface. Saraswati is that force—the wisdom of true nature itself, the clarity […]

Join us for one of the most powerful festivals of the year, honoring Shiva, the Primordial Yogi. In Yogic tales, Shiva rescues the world from unrelenting demons and deadly poisons. He stands against the forces of ignorance and destruction—not only outside of us, but within humanity itself. Shiva is known as the Destroyer of illusion. […]

Do you want to feel more clear and vital—not just in the body, but in the mind and heart? We scroll, we strive, we chase. Yet underneath it all, we know: this isn’t enough. This is not the fullness of life we are meant to live. Meditation is the key. It doesn’t just calm you—it […]

It's the last thing you’ll do when you leave. In between, breath can transform everything—if you know how to use it. This retreat […]

Hanuman is celebrated across India as the embodiment of strength, devotion, and service. Known as the Son of the Wind, he is the monkey god who lifts mountains, crosses oceans, and accomplishes the impossible—not for himself, but out of unwavering devotion to truth and goodness. His power comes not from pride or ego, but from […]

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 […]
