40th Anniversary Celebration

WithĀ Swami Nishchalananda, supported by inspiring Ashram Teachers

WedĀ 29 - Sun 1 August 2026
Mandala Yoga Ashram was officially inaugurated on the 26th July 1986. Since then, the Ashram has grown from strength to strength with support from many people throughout the UK, Europe and the world. Join us in celebrating 40 years of inspirational teachings and propagation of Yoga, which we hope to continue for the next decade and beyond! This promises to be an unforgettable event!

A Spiritual Sanctuary

As one of the few authentic ashrams to be found outside of India, Mandala Yoga Ashram provides a vibrant link between the spiritual teachings of the yogic sages and sincere seekers of the modern Western world. Founded in 1986 by Swami Nishchalananda Saraswati on his return from 14 years of intensive training with his guru Swami Satyananda Saraswati, and nestling in 25 acres of beautiful, remote hill-country in Southwest Wales, UK, the Ashram has over the years been a source of profound learning and transformation for thousands of people from all walks of life. Our residential retreats are rare opportunities to go deep into the mysteries of yoga in an environment of great natural beauty and focused spiritual energy.
