Self Transformation Program

The Self Transformation Program is a highly individualized residential program leading the participant to explore the nature of his being on the level of the five koshas: physical, pranic, mental, intellectual, blissful, and finally to the center of consciousness. The participant engages in daily yoga classes, breathing and relaxation practicums, guided meditation practice, and individualized instruction in yoga science. There is also enough personal time for self study and for walks along the Ganges.

Three vegetarian meals are provided daily. Accommodation is double occupancy unless otherwise specified. The program is available in 2008 during January, April, July, and October. The first three weeks follow the schedule below. The last week is allocated for individual interests (ie, sight-seeing, silence retreat, etc.). The program can be extended on a case-by-case basis.
