A New Chapter at Sat Manav Yoga Ashram! 🌿

We've been a little quiet lately, but behind the scenes, some extraordinary things have been happening!

Over the past year, we've been working toward some of the most significant developments in the Ashram's history. And we're thrilled to finally share them with you!

Our Immersion Retreats have taken on a new depth and intimacy. Our Healing Retreats are being renewed with a deeper focus on individualized rejuvenation. Our Sacred Celebrations are returning fully to the rhythm of the ancient Yogic calendar.

And that's just the beginning!

We've created an entirely new website to share all of this with you, and we couldn't be more excited to finally unveil it!

Come see what's new at Sat Manav!

A traditional Yoga Ashram in the mountains of Maine dedicated to Sādhana and the living Yogic tradition. Retreats, sacred gatherings, and opportunities for deeper spiritual practice are open to sincere seekers.

Spend the Autumn Equinox at Sat Manav Yoga Ashram!

After many months of transformation, we are welcoming the public to experience the Ashram once again!

The equinox is a time of stillness and transition, the turning point of the sun's movement with profound effects on the natural world. Humanity has turned away from this rhythm--but this is an opportunity to come closer to our natural purpose.

Join us for a day of stillness, nourishment, fellowship, selfless service, and much more...

Call or text Jaya at 207-578-8227 for more information.

You never quite know what the yogis are getting up to around here. 😄

Some of you may have noticed that we’ve been a little quieter than usual on social media and that our calendar of events has shifted. Behind that quiet, significant changes are taking place at the Ashram—changes that bring us even closer to the heart of Sat Manav, its purpose, and the life we are here to live.

Alongside these deeper shifts, we’ve been pouring a tremendous amount of energy into the restoration and care of this beautiful place: renovating buildings, tending the land, elevating our sacred spaces, and attending to the many things that go into the life and care of an off-grid Ashram in the mountains of Maine.

We’ll be sharing much more about this new chapter with the unveiling of our completely redesigned website in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, if you’d like to get in on what these yogis are up to, we invite you to lend your hands and heart to the work of the Ashram and join us for one of our upcoming Seva Retreats. There is plenty to do. 😊

Reach out if you’d like to join us. 🙏

☀️ Summer Solstice Gathering ☀️ Sunday, June 21 ☀️

As the forests awaken and the earth enters a season of growth and renewal, much of our attention these past several months has been directed inward. Practice at Sat Manav Yoga Ashram continues to deepen, while many aspects of Ashram life are quietly taking new shape.

Alongside this inner work, the Ashram itself has been undergoing a season of renewal. Multiple renovation projects are underway, gardens are expanding, and daily rhythms and practices continue to be refined. Much is still unfolding, yet we did not want the Summer Solstice to pass without opening our doors and sharing the day with friends old and new.

This year’s gathering will be simple and intimate—a day of Yoga, fresh food, silence, nature, sauna, and evening Satsang with Sri Bhagavān VaShi Baba and Sri Mīrābāī Īśvarī.

☀️ Yoga Class
🫐 Fresh Blueberry Smoothies
🌲 Guided Walking Meditation
🌿 Conversations on the meaning of the Summer Solstice and living in harmony with the rhythms of nature
🔥 Wood Stacking Seva
🧖 Sauna & Optional Cold Plunge
🍲 Fresh Vegan Meals
🕉 Evening Satsang

Whether you have visited many times or are joining us for the first time, you are warmly welcome.

Questions or interested in attending?

✨ Join us this weekend. Something special is happening. ✨

In just three days, we gather to celebrate one of the most powerful forces in the universe: the Goddess! Vasant Pachami celebrates Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom, music, learning, and clarity—through traditional ceremony, fire, yoga, meditation, storytelling, live music, dancing, and shared meals.

It may be cold outside, but we’ll be warm and fully alive—with steaming Ashram-made chai, nourishing vegan Indian feasts, glowing fires, movement, meditation and a wood fired sauna!
Children are welcome.

• Full weekend: $300 suggested donation
• Single day: $108 suggested donation
Details: Vasant Panchami: Saraswati Puja ~ Celebrating the Light of Knowledge

Come for one day or stay for the whole weekend!
Come curious, tired, inspired, or seeking.
Leave nourished, clear, and uplifted about our potential to reverse the ignorance in this world that is the source of all that is wrong!

Happy Winter Solstice.
The shortest day, the longest night,
and the quiet turning of the Earth toward the light.

Solstice comes from the Latin solstitium —
sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still).
A reminder that real change is born of
quiet, consistent discipline.

As the light begins its slow return,
may your practice deepen,
your choices be aligned with real growth and true fulfillment, and may the coming light illuminate humanity’s way forward to clarity and compassion!

Warm Solstice wishes to all.
