A Living Path of Yoga

For over sixty years, Yasodhara Ashram has been a place of spiritual practice on the east shore of Kootenay Lake in British Columbia. Founded by Swami Radha, the Ashram continues as a women-led lineage rooted in the teachings of Yasodhara Yoga.

Our retreats, intensive courses and selfless service stays support your spiritual evolution. We offer a focus on Divine Light and the Divine Feminine, much-needed in our world today.
