Tantric Meditation and Yoga Retreat with a Yogic Monk in Guatemala

Ananda Maya Ashram is more than a retreat—it is an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual transformation. Rooted in the time-tested practice of Tantra Yoga, this retreat offers a complete yogic system that includes meditation, yoga asanas, deep breathing exercises, and a sattvic vegetarian diet. The philosophy is scientific and practical, contrasting with dogmatic beliefs, and aims to free you from emotional and mental bondage, allowing you to experience boundless inner joy.

Each day is thoughtfully structured to balance body, mind, and spirit. You will engage in three daily meditation sessions, twice-daily yoga classes with breathwork, and inspiring lectures by Dada on topics such as the kosas (layers of the mind), chakras, and the Eight Limbs of Raja Yoga. The retreat also includes joyful kirtan sessions, where mantra chanting elevates your consciousness and fosters a sense of community.

The retreat's philosophy is holistic, addressing the intricate interplay between biology and spirituality. You will learn how the nervous and glandular systems influence your emotions and behavior, and how yoga and conscious lifestyle choices can bring harmony. Whether you are seeking relief from stress and burnout or a deeper spiritual connection, these practices are designed to work—transformative tools that you can integrate into your daily life.

Dada Satyamitrananda, your resident monk and guide, brings over 30 years of experience. He founded Singapore's first Yoga Academy in 2007 and has led over 80 retreats worldwide. His approach is warm, knowledgeable, and highly personalized, ensuring that each guest receives individual guidance. The ashram itself is a hidden gem, set in a traditional Guatemalan neighborhood near a small forest, offering fresh mountain air and peaceful surroundings that support your inner journey.
