The Expanding Light Ashram at Ananda Village is an intentional community of youthful yogis, seeking to bring yogic principles, as taught by our guru Paramhansa Yogananda and his direct disciple Swami Kriyanada, into everyday life.

As a group of friends living together, practicing meditation and the teachings of the path of Kriya Yoga, we want to invite you to join us for a weekend retreat where you’ll learn to apply the wisdom from this practice of yoga into your daily life.

We’ll offer you a range of experiences to increase your happiness, from meditation and yoga classes, techniques to increase your energy, to practical solutions for infusing your daily life with higher consciousness.

A yoga ashram is an ideal environment for bridging your life’s unique path with a quest for higher meaning and truth. This space is wide open for spiritual seekers, from all backgrounds, to learn the gems of yoga, and apply them in real life. With support of the ashram you’ll feel the immediate benefit of the consciousness transforming techniques and see how you can gain a new outlook on life.

Everyone who joins us will find renewed energy, faith, and spiritual inspiration, in this offering of shared friendship and uplifting practices.
