India Holistic Retreats is here to guide you in planning a seamless and transformative journey to this sanctuary of classical yoga and vedanta.

Property Overview

A Sanctuary for Mind and Body The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Dhanwantari Ashram is not a hotel or a resort; it is a traditional spiritual community (ashram) dedicated to the practice and teaching of ancient yogic principles. The atmosphere is serene, disciplined, and focused on inner growth. Spread across 12 acres of pristine forest land near the Neyyar Dam reservoir in Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram), the property provides a pure, sattvic environment conducive to deep meditation and healing.

The Sivananda Lineage: A Background of Authenticity

The ashram is part of the global network founded by Swami Vishnudevananda, a direct disciple of the great Indian sage Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh. This unbroken lineage ensures that the teachings are pure, traditional, and unadulterated. The name ‘Dhanwantari’ (The Celestial Physician) was specifically chosen to signify the ashram’s deep focus on the healing sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda.

Facilities & Accommodation

To maintain a focused spiritual atmosphere, the facilities are clean, simple, and comfortable.

• Ashram Facilities Guests have access to two large, open-air yoga halls, lecture halls, a well-stocked library, a health hut for fresh juices, and a boutique with books, yoga accessories, and essentials.
• Types of Accommodation The lodging is designed to be simple and conducive to a yogic lifestyle. Options typically range from spacious dormitories to twin-sharing rooms. All rooms are clean and basic, encouraging a focus on inner rather than outer luxury.

The Sivananda Specialty:

The Five Points of Yoga The core philosophy is Swami Vishnudevananda’s brilliant synthesis of his master’s teachings into five practical points:

1. Proper Exercise (Asanas)
2. Proper Breathing (Pranayama)
3. Proper Relaxation (Savasana)
4. Proper Diet (Sattvic, Vegetarian)
5. Positive Thinking & Meditation (Vedanta & Dhyana)

Location Advantages:

The Healing Energy of Neyyar Dam The ashram’s location near Trivandrum is a significant advantage. It is easily accessible from the Trivandrum International Airport (TRV) and railway station, yet its secluded setting provides complete isolation from urban noise and pollution. The surrounding forest, clean air, and the vast expanse of the Neyyar Dam reservoir create a powerful, high-energy environment ideal for a holistic wellness retreat.
