Our Location
The Vithal ashram has natural beauty and spiritual vibrations, the essential components needed for yoga teaching & learning. It still speaks the glorious past of the world yoga capital, where spirituality & Ganga flow together.
The silent place is home to varieties of colorful hill birds and playful squirrels. Every nook & corner is dotted by herbs, shrubs and trees, spread over an area of nine acres at the lap of mountains. The lush green grass is a treat to eyes.
Man’s ultimate quest is peace of mind. It was the dream of Shri VT Chitnis (Anna) to turn this barren land into spiritual sanctuary and ashram for peaceful activity. When the mind harmonized by yoga, you see the “Self” abiding in all beings.
Peace and quietness do not mean inactivity. Anna’s life philosophy was: “Yoga doesn’t mean dull and dreary life. It is all about doing meaningful, constructive, positive and peaceful activities without harming mankind and nature.”
Main features of ashram:
- Peaceful environs at the backdrop of nature
- Fresh, soul-stirring & fragrant air
- Panoramic view of Ganga
- Perfect environment for learning yoga
- Spacious & cozy room with perfect cleanliness

Yoga Dham School
It was the sincere suggestion of many yoga gurus of national and international repute to start yoga school in the salubrious climate of this ashram. All they were searching for the perfect place to pass some golden moments of yoga tranquility.
Vithal ashram remained a top destination for spiritual-seekers, yoga retreats and pilgrims since 1950s. It remained a getaway halt to pilgrims who preferred to stay in the spiritual surroundings. It is the first choice of many foreign visitors too.
“Dham” is a Hindi word which means pilgrim place. Rishikesh is getaway to all pilgrim centers in Uttarakhand. So the name “Yoga Dham” has been aptly chosen for yoga learning center lying on the same incredible Himalayan landscape.
Moments of Tranquility: As you step in, the well-maintained gardens, beautiful tree and open countryside surrounded by stone built wall overlooking Ganges welcome you. Some may feel the sudden strangeness because we are not used to peaceful moments.
The individual cottages are the real gem of the ashram. A larger building encompasses the yoga meditation hall with enough space to accommodate 100 yoga practitioners at a time.
