About Yasodhara Ashram
Yasodhara Ashram (www.yasodhara.org) is a Yoga Retreat and Study Centre founded in 1963 by Swami Sivananda Radha. Today, 50 years after it began, the Ashram remains a vibrant community welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds to discover the transformative power of yoga.
The Ashram is like a small village with 115 acres on the east-shore of Kootenay Lake in the mountains of southeastern BC. The year-round population averages 50 to 55 people, with seasonal peaks of 100 to 110.
Yasodhara Ashram is a Canadian charity and a registered educational institution. It is operated by volunteers in the tradition of charity and service embodied in its constitution.
The Ashram is located at 527 Walker’s Landing Road, 5 minutes from Kootenay Bay Ferry. From the ferry, go up the hill and turn left towards Riondel. The Ashram is three kilometres away on Walker’s Landing Road.
