Its geographical location makes it comfortably away from the mainstream markets and distractions, which results in creating a calm, quiet and contemplative environment for yoga and meditation practices.
As the area around the yoga center cannot be reached through motor vehicles etc., (but is connected through comfortable pathways leading up the hilltop) one can enjoy a true serenity and peaceful atmosphere of the Himalayas from there. While the geographical location of the yoga center provides a calm and quiet atmosphere, the topography of the area naturally brings a meditative disposition to the yoga practitioners, giving an experience of peacefully merging with nature.
Staying there, one can feel that he or she is relaxing in the lap of nature, healing, refreshing, and rejuvenating. Being located on a mountain side, full of green palm trees in the backdrop, and visual perception of the beautiful valley in front, and chirps and tweets of the birds around, Sarvaguna Yoga believes that their center truly provides a conducive and spiritual environment for yoga and meditation practices.
Sunil Guest House has 10 nice rooms reserved for yoga students only. There you will have the option of staying in nice and clean rooms either in private or twin shared basis.
