Learn what to eat as a yogi — and when and why. Each class includes Gurudevi’s teachings as well as a tasting session with discussion and easy recipes.

Drawing on yoga, Ayurveda and scientific nutritional guidelines, she teaches you how to feed yourself healthfully, deliciously and consciously in your own home.

As the principles you learn begin working for you, you’ll notice a change in your physical and spiritual well-being.

A previous student shares her enthusiasm for what she got from “Yogic Nutrition”:

A great course! It’s interactive and delicious in every way. Learning from a Guru and a Swami, how can you go wrong? They take you right into their kitchen. And they come into yours. – Therese R

Meditation is the most important of yoga’s practices. Sign up for this FREE online informational program to ask your questions.

In informal discussion with Gurudevi Nirmalananda and Swami Prajñananda, you’ll find out if joining our online Meditation Club will give you what you’re looking for. We want to help you find it.

Getting started is much easier when you meditate with others, especially when they are experienced meditators. Your meditations become easier, deeper and more fulfilling.

Meditation Club has made a big shift for me. Meditation had always been a struggle. Yet now I am regularly committed to my early morning wakeup call. I know I am making progress.

— Annette Z.

It is a commitment. While this introductory program is free, Meditation Club is by subscription, with a three-month minimum. That’s to get you over the hump. Life gets easier, deeper and more fulfilling as well.

Begins May 2, 2025

Shaktipat accelerates your spiritual progress.  With Shaktipat initiation from Satguru Swami Nirmalananda (Gurudevi), your spiritual momentum is greatly enhanced. 

During the weekend Shaktipat Retreat, you gain new levels of access to the deeper dimensions of your own Beingness.

You receive formal Shaktipat initiation from Gurudevi twice. As a Kundalini Master, she is authorized to transmit this powerful initiation. She explains the process and purpose as well as how you cooperate with the inner light arising within you, in-light-ening you day by day.

Discover a whole new dimension to your own being. Recognize and revel in your own spiritual essence.  And learn tools that help you bring that into your life.

At the beginning of the Shaktipat retreat, my mind and body had a little resistance. “Oh,” I thought, “we’re chanting again??!” But I went with it. After Gurudevi’s first touch, I felt pulled up from my base and realigned. I could see a roadmap that Kundalini had implanted inside me. During my meditations, the kriyas were much stronger. I experienced a physical cleansing, a burning off.

Join Gurudevi Nirmalananda in a free Zoom call so you can ask your questions. In response, Gurudevi gives you ancient yogic teachings applicable to your modern life.

Enroll even if you don’t yet have a question. Everyone benefits from hearing the discussion.

These Q&A satsangs are amazing. I am sometimes not clear about my question, so I ramble. Gurudevi listens with patience and full attention. Then she asks me questions that help me finetune my question.

Her answer illuminates what I need to understand and shines light on an effective way forward to solving my problem. I get more than I imagined possible.

This is also my experience when I don’t have a question and just listen to others on the call. Gurudevi’s responses always turn out to be of great value to me as well.

Are you thinking about improving your nutrition? The beginning of a new year is a good time to make this change.  

Fortunately, Gurudevi is soon teaching her popular online Yogic Nutrition course. Learn how to eat like a yogi.

Drawing on yoga, Ayurveda and scientific nutritional guidelines, she gives you easy ways to improve your nutritional profile.  These classes take place online, including a kitchen segment — from the Ashram kitchen to yours!

You learn straightforward, yummy meal preparation with vegetarian protein featuring the six Ayurvedic tastes.  The purpose is to achieve health as well as pleasure and (most importantly) spiritual development as yogis feed themselves consciously.

In the first “Yogic Nutrition” class, my taste buds came alive.  I was in shock! Gurudevi guided us through making toast with all six tastes on it.  A huge light bulb went off.  Food can be good and good for me! — Sheralee H.

Celebrate life and the turning of a new cycle with Gurudevi at this retreat.  She will get you ready for a fresh start.  A chance for renewal and recommitment.  From a deep place inside springs the newness of life. That source is your own Self. 

Your retreat includes asana (yoga poses), chanting, meditation, Gurudev’s teaching talks and more. Gurudevi leads you through deep inner experiences that transform your sense of self. 

Discover your eternal expansiveness.  Be propelled into your highest potential for the year ahead and beyond. 

I have made it a point to attend the Ashram’s New Year’s Retreat each year.  It always delivers — always giving me what I need, when I exactly need it.  I ground deeper into my own true Self.  This determines my resolve for the new year.  There’s no better way to start the new year. — Andrea P.

When you live with purpose, you live like your life really matters.  

Delve deep into yoga’s timeless teachings in this three-class sutra course with Gurudevi.  She leads you through a process of self-discovery.  

You find your inner compass that always points you to where you want to go. You get the inner answers to your questions about your life’s purpose.

While your worldly processes are enhanced, you move toward enlightenment. This combination is the hallmark of tantric mysticism.
