Details of this retreat

In the Yogic tradition, sound is used for transformation. For thousands of years, the great Yogis have used mantra and chanting to still the mind, align one's breath and body, and rise into clarity, strength, and love for Life.

At Sat Manav Yoga Ashram, mantra is woven into everything we do—from our sunrise practice, to chanting at the sacred Dhuni fire, to the evening mantra and meditation that close each day. This is the way of Nāda Yoga, the Yoga of inner sound—a path laid down by the Rishis, the wisest sages to walk this Earth.

Their chants carry frequencies of healing, discipline, joy, and growth—real tools for reshaping your life. This retreat is your doorway into that living tradition.

You’ll learn from and chant alongside practicing Yogis. You’ll feel the vibration move through your voice and into your nervous system. You’ll begin to understand what it means to align your breath, sound, and intention so fully that the state of your being begins to shift towards higher states of health and happiness.

This is sound as sādhana—a sacred method for turning life into practice, and practice into freedom from what holds us back from the fulfillment we are meant to know.

What You’ll Experience
Mantra Japa — repetition of sacred sound to purify thought and calm the mind

Kīrtan — collective call-and-response chanting that opens hearts and minds, cultivating the unity humanity has lost

Voice & rhythm training to unlock strength, joy, and confidence in all aspects of your life

Yogic pronunciation & meaning — drawn directly from lineage, with power and clarity

Meditation & breathwork to integrate the support of Nada Yoga into your daily life

The rhythm of Ashram life — a full weekend of real sādhana, practiced and lived with the Yogis of Sat Manav

A retreat with us is like stepping back into the ancient days of Yoga, when teachings were shared in close, personal circles. For this reason, we welcome only 4-8 guests for the full retreat experience, ensuring depth and intimacy. And while our guest count is small, you’ll be held by the presence of our 12 resident Yogis, embraced as part of the living family of Sat Manav.

What You’ll Take With You
A true connection to the power of mantra—something felt, not imagined

A daily sound practice to calm the mind, energize the body, and steady the emotions

Strength in your voice, clarity in your presence, and joy that doesn't rely on circumstance

A sense of devotion made real—a connection to the sacred that travels with you

"I felt welcome, inspired, comfy, and joyful throughout my long-weekend stay at the Sat Manav Ashram. It was a true blessing to practice yoga, meditate, chant, tend the garden, eat amazing vegan food, and simply breathe in the beautiful natural setting with the ashram residents and the greater community of visitors." ~ Shine

Accommodation

Every building at Sat Manav Yoga Ashram was constructed by the resident Yogis, creating the ideal environment for reflection and practice. They follow the essential guidelines for Yogic living, while still providing a very comfortable, restful and pleasant atmosphere. Each building is heated with wood and cooled by opening the windows to fresh mountain air. Water is drawn by hand pumps, we use composting toilets and pump showers (hot), keeping us deeply connected with the life-sustaining resources we use. There is no wi-fi or conventional electronics that interfere with our well-being. In today's world there are very few places you can give your body and mind a total reprieve from the effects and distractions of electronics. With Yogic décor and all-natural materials (from the linens you sleep in to the floor you walk on) nestled in the Maine woods surrounded by rushing mountain streams, your nights will be as unforgettable as your days. Our first guest cabin, the "Kund," has an open downstairs, a private deck off of one bedroom, and a beautiful tile shower. The upstairs is divided into two rooms; one with a queen and one with two twin futons. A shared full bath and comfortable living area (with LOTS of books) are downstairs. With cherry floors, knotty pine walls, skylights and wonderful views of the property, a night at the Kund is the perfect conclusion to your day! Our second cabin, the "Shodhana," is centrally located, but also tucked away, just across from our wood-fired Sauna; also the shower house. It features 2 bedrooms with private half baths, and a shared living room, with couches that inspire hours of reflective reading or a rejuvenating nap. Nestled in the trees, between two streams, Shodhana is the perfect place for release into the peace and quiet.

Full Week All Inclusive! (Fri. afternoon - Thurs. evening)
