More About our Yoga Campus and location — For true learning of yoga, one must prefer sacred Himalayas as this part of land has a different aura and all together a different energy to imbibe and inculcate the true spirit of Yogis and natural living.
Mcleodganj – Dharamshala is the home of spiritual leader of Buddhism , the noble laureate—Dalai Lama and is a famous tourist destination in North India. The natural beauty and picturesque surroundings of Dharamshala, as well as the presence of Buddhism, has made it one of the best and most visited hill stations in the country. Dharamshala – word refers to a shelter or rest house for spiritual pilgrims. However, our Swaraj Yoga – Campus is in just nearby quiet serene tribal village Dharamkot, which has managed to maintain its quaint charm.
Kindly note that we welcome anyone interested in being in a spiritual community to explore and renew themselves. However, we are not a place for individuals who are in transition from addiction or other serious mental health issues. We do not have the resources available to support these circumstances.
We look forward to welcoming you for a rejuvenating inward experience!
