Eat to Live: Cooking for Your Biology
With Dr. Sunyata Shyam, PhD and Jaya Yogini
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 […]

VaShi Yoga Retreat — The Ancient Path to a Fulfilled Life
With Jaya Yogini
For thousands of years, the Rishis—the wisest sages the world has ever known—studied life itself.

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 […]

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 […]
Nāda Yoga Retreat: The Yoga of Sacred Sound
With Bhagavan Das "Shug" Shyam and Jaya Yogini

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