Just completed my 300 hours yoga teacher training at this beautiful Portuguese ashram. All I can say is 'wow - what an experience!' If you want to immerse yourself in off grid eco living to learn traditional yoga, then this is the place to do it. Absolutely stunning location with fantastic support from extremely knowledgeable course teachers

Great place to come and live in eco friendly yoga ashram! A home of Sanatan Yoga - enteral yoga for body, mind and soul!

Bholenath..satsang yoga ashram is located in a charming space in Portugal, where the stars shine a divine light in the night sky..the land is gorgeous, abundance of fruit trees and a fresh water pond @ base of ashram. Ideal space for sadhana (spiritual practise) cared for and guided by Jnandev Maharaj and his delightful team of earth angels....Hari Om

I had a really enjoyable time here. It’s in the Portuguese countryside which is beautiful and also the food is really good. I would highly recomend to anyone that wants to experience a way of living through traditional yoga practice and meet like minded people. I came away feeling completely relaxed and happy

Location of the ashram is beautiful and quality of teaching was good. Unfortunately the rest was quiet poor. Food was not organic and came from wholesale market. The earth care consisted in planting trees in huge holes made by tractors without respecting any permacultural principles. The organisators seem to be more concerned by the construction around the ashram then by giving the retreat. Some communication among the group was sometimes disrespectful. In conclusion, I would not advice people to attend retreat of TTC for now until huge improvement is made.

I’ve been to Portugal for the first time to be part of the 10 days Sadhana (practice with purpose and aiming development) Retreat at the International Satsanga Ashram lead by his founder Jnandev and it’s been beautiful! Good weather with peaceful nature all around, feeling already the benefits of the daily meditation, pranayama, Hatha Yoga! Stayed in one of the caravans during the period. recommended for those looking for a traditional yoga practice.

I have been staying at this ashram recently and can highly recommended a visit. Especially if you are into classical yoga practices, life style and philosophy. Here you can learn to live your life in a meaningful and healthy way and so you can take this experience with you wherever you go

I came and took part in the teachings of the Ashram. I felt welcome and relaxed from the first moment, Jnandev collected new and my partner Ben from the bus in Castelo Branco and in just a short ride we were transported to the ashram in beautiful forest surroundings. We were given a tour and lunch was prepared a very healthy vegan menu with home made chai tea. In the afternoon we planted fruit trees and it was very special to plant something that will grow and be enjoyed long after our visit, it is even more special to be a part of this at the beginning. In the afternoon we followedJnandev in a very traditional yoga practice incorporating pranayama and learning to be authentic in our yoga. Jnandev provides good direction and support as well as explaining what the benefits or background of the movements are. In the evenings we enjoyed home cooked vegan meal that was delicious and sand traditional songs as well as hearing stories from the tradition to give us an in depth knowledge of the history and roots of yoga. The course lasted ten days and the whole experience was wonderful. I feel I have gained in both my physical practice as well as enjoying learning the history of the tradition and sampling delicious food. I am excited to return and see the trees we planted mature. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone wishing to expand and deepen their practice and understanding. Thank you!
