I just left a 6 night stay at the Ashram and must say it exceeded my expectations. I took the Positive Thinking Course and Rukmini was insightful, energizing and a well versed teacher. I have never been so relaxed in my life. The food was hands down awesome, I looked forward to every meal and the creativity that would come out of the kitchen. I stayed in an Om Hut with use of the shared bathroom. This is an ashram, not a resort, and it feels sacred, special and is a place for all to come and experience. I can't wait to return.

I just finished my Yoga Teacher Training at the center in the Bahamas. First of all, I have to say the yoga teaching was world class. Souria was phenomenal both as a teacher and a person. Her two assistants Bargavi, Barbiti were amazing. Their warmth and kindness was so genuine. I have to admit I was sceptical and it took me a while to settle in. The schedule was rigorous. But the training was incredible, the food spectacular. Thank - you Gigi Cohen and Ambica!! The setting ,world class. I am an almost vegetarian and a non coffee drinker now. I would go back in a heartbeat for the yoga retreat!!!

Just got Back from the aashram, was here from May 5th to May 12th 2016. Great Place, Great yoga program and awesome people, Chef Pranav is amazing so is his team. Two things and observation: 1) People fill the plates with food and waste half of it this should stop absolutely unacceptable. 2) Too much of loud talking all the time, its okay to chant mantras, music etc but non stop talking without even thinking there could be people around who want calm and peace, you want to keep talking find a place where there is no one around and talk but in all public places in the aashram including the dining area, kindly maintain peace and QUIET, it will do you good and connect you with ur innerself trust me.

I decided to go for a week for a much needed personal break and to improve my yoga. I extended my stay to 13 days and wished It had been longer. The most incredible, and transforming experience I found and starting loving myself again! Thanks to all the incredible souls; staff, volunteers, students and guests! I'll be back soon!

Third time at the Ashram and each time it keeps getting better and better! Highly recommend for those who are looking to deepen their yoga practice. Staff, volunteers and visitors were all incredible, as were the yoga classes, the workshops and the satsangs.

Just left the Ashram yesterday. Enjoyed every moment of it. Great food for the mind, the body and the soul. Has been my favourite place to go to ever since I discovered it 4 years ago. Very grateful. Om. Peace. Love. Compassion.

As a Senior Yoga Teacher who teaches worldwide, Sivananda was by far one of the most profound Yoga Teacher Training I experience worldwide. Highly recommend it. The program was challenging, traditional, authentic, and full of love. I had the honor of doing Karma Yoga (Seva) for several years in NYC and Canada before I embarking on my Teacher Training. It gave me a solid foundation in how to teach this holistic, scientifically proven healing practice to those willing to learn. After all these years, its still the most profound TTout there and the best of over 7 TT programs that I have trained and certified in. I humbly look forward to continuing this journey at ATTC. Om Namah Sivaya. #yoga #powerofthought #meditation #mantra #sivananda #PranavaYoga #YogaAllianceUS #YogaAllianceUK #LatinaYogini

I haven't even left yet and I'm planning my next visit. The most relaxing and intellectually stimulating place on earth! The food is fabulous as well. Maybe I'll be a Karma Yogi next....

Dear Yogis! The Ashram Retreat is such a gorgeous, beautiful paradise. First, I was a little bit disappointed about the weather when arriving at Nassau, as the applications said it will rain all the time. Then I arrived at the retreat, and I just forgot the negative thoughts. This place is so lovely, so you can forget everything around you. Luckily the sun was joking about the application and it was shiny for a few days. I loved the workshop with Dr. Steven Weiss, but also mentors like Susan, Beata and Brett were so lovely and gorgeous.There are so many great experts (beside the ones I mentioned) who share their knowledge with us. Arrival and departure are well organized, and by boat and taxi service, even you leave at night or in the early morning before sunrise. I also loved the food! I was worrying about being hungry all the time as there is only breakfast and dinner. But, I didn't get hungry! At this place, thank you to the Karma Yogis too, who cooked so good delicious meals and did the dishes. Well, I will come back, the next time for a longer stay! Om shanti!

We use the temple for praying and meditation. The trip to the retreat is our ritual. The food is magical. And we always walk back home. It truly is a special day when you go to the retreat. We love it, and we crave it.

I completed the Teacher Training course recently. The quality of teachings and overall experience was outstanding. I am planning my next course and very much look forward to returning to Sivananda Ashram.

Love the Sivananda Yoga Bahamas retreat!! - the location is exquisite, the grounds are beautiful, the people are amazing, love the variety of guests speakers, the veg food is delicious (stay away from the warm homemade bread they make daily if you don't want to gain weight), the variety of accommodation offers a variety of cost options, tradition is maintained with twice daily satsangs, evening Gita Parayanam, pujas etc. Every year I see that they are making improvements - I've come 6 times, next year will be my 7th visit, God willing.

Outstanding. Am always planning my next trip. Can't get there fast enough. Om shanti.

I went to get away from it all with my friend We had a peaceful relaxing time Food was excellent !!!

Just came back from a weekend visit with some lovely girlfriends. What a wonderful place this is. The classes, lodgings, food, surroundings were all 5 star. Spent 48 hours here and left feeling serene, rejuvenated and full of love for the world.

What a wonderful and very special and spiritual place! I enjoyed everything about my stay here - the satsang, the yoga classes, the workshops, the food the accomodation, the beach... What is truly amazing is that I am still carrying that inner peace - even after the flight home and the first day back at work. I will be back!

I had a wonderful week away at Sivananda in February 2014. A very peaceful setting on a beautiful beach with very special people and lovely vegetarian food. I had practiced yoga on and off for years, without making much progress. The morning beginning yoga class was amazing. The teacher stressed over and over that yoga is not a competitive sport - it is about connecting with and listening to your own body. It inspired me so much I have kept up a home practice for nearly 2 months and it feels so good. It was a life-changer for me, and I hope to return every year for a recharge.

I visited the Sivananda Ashram in January 2014... the place is magical. I learned a lot about yoga and meditation in my five days there. My only complaint is that the food was not organic (or locally sourced) but it was very delicious and prepared with lots of love. Beautiful sunsets, beautiful people, beautiful place.

A beautiful place to rest and rejuvenate. I stayed five nights in a tent hut and was very comfortable. I visited on the vacation program and only followed the satsang and yoga schedule when it felt right for me. I hope to return many times!

paradise island is a perfectly chosen name for this heavenly sanctuary of peace and yoga~ I felt like I was at home~ a true gem deeply cherished ✨ I would LOVE to visit once again! twice or even three and more times again ~

This is a lovely, peaceful, place to visit. I loved the wonderful Indian vegetarian food, yoga, and the Temple. Came back feeling healthy, relaxed and ready for anything!

A serene and relaxing environment surrounded by beautiful palm trees, gardens and crystal clear waters contoured by golden soft sands. Immerse yourself in the warm sunshine and soothing soft Atlantic breeze as you grow your practice amidst a welcoming, friendly and supportive community of fellow yogis.

I think that the fact that I keep returning says it all. It is a second home although I can only come during the summer since I am a teacher. I'm looking forward to June and July so I can "recharge" for another year.

What a stunning place to stay! Location is superb with beautiful beach on the north side and a wonderful fibrant harbor on the southside of this awesome tropical island. You stay between a lush tropical garden, eat delicious organic healthy and wholsome food and meet wonderful people from all over the world. It doesn't get any better! Absolutely recommended for everyone!

Incredible experience, amazing people, beautiful place, good food, unbelievable atmosphere

Sencillamente un renacer! Estoy muy agradecida por la experiencia vivida y la bendición de recordar ahí quien soy y a lo que vine a ésta vida. Om Namah Sivaya

I visited this authentic ashram for a Yoga R&R back in January of 2011! I love the location, which is only accessible by boat. The morning meditations, yoga deck overlooking the crystal clear water, and 2 yoga classes a day are fantastic! I look forward to visiting again. Thank you!

Deep in my heart there's a place .....the ashram is surely there....no doubt ... it's a very special place...

Heading back for my 2nd trip to restore, get on the mat, connect with soulful kindred spirits and walk the beach at sunrise!

This is one of my favorite places in the world. You will find peace and love within yourself here. #yogalife #meditation
