Welcome to the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Meenakshi Ashram. Since 2002, we have offered a peaceful home for yoga seekers in the heart of South India. Located at the foothills of the Western Ghats, and just an hour from the sacred city of Madurai, our ashram is a quiet space for reflection, learning, and inner practice. The nearby Meenakshi Amman Temple, dedicated to the Divine Mother, is one of India’s great cultural and spiritual landmarks.

Life at the ashram is simple, rooted in daily discipline, community service, and connection with nature. Our temple to Goddess Kali sits at the centre of the ashram, surrounded by jasmine plants whose flowers are used in daily offerings. The entire campus is built according to the principles of vastu shastra, supporting balance and harmony in every aspect of life here.

Whether you are joining us for a yoga vacation, teachers’s training course or just some quiet time, we invite you to experience the calm and clarity that the ashram offers.

We look forward to welcoming you in person,

Anoop & Parvathy
Ashram Directors, Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Meenakshi Ashram
