Tureya Ashram
Founded from the wisdom of ancient India, Tureya Ashram is a place for awakening and experiencing the higher truths of life and living. The Ashram is a tranquil environment and a place of inspiration for rapid physical, mental, and spiritual growth. The yoga which is offered from Tureya Ashram is a synthesis of many systems which aid in personal development and are based on the traditional practices outlined by the Vedas, Tantric Sutras, and other yogic principles. The practices are also integrated with the teachings of modern mental and physical medical science. In doing so we are helping expand the reach of the traditional Indian practices to the modern world.
Located in the hills of Kodaikanal, the Ashram is a refuge to all: the doors are equally open to Indians and foreigners from all parts of the world. The ashram is located amongst natural springs and beautiful forests making it an ideal setting for inner growth and spiritual transformation.
