Supplementary Services

These are non-Ashram service providers who supplement and extend the Ashram’s range of services which may enhance your Ashram stay/experience. They are small or one person businesses we happily promote and support as part of our mission of helping local – but outstanding – businesses, which we have had overwhelming positive feedback from our guests and yoga retreat/workshop attendees alike. Mention that you are recommended by the Ashram.
