A heartfelt welcome to Sadhana Bhumi Himalaya for Life Research, an authentic yoga ashram nestled in the sacred foothills of the Himalayas. Located in Matatirtha—derived from the Sanskrit words 'Mata' (mother) and 'Tirtha' (sacred pilgrimage site)—our center sits at 1650 meters above sea level, surrounded by pristine natural beauty and offering breathtaking views of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Here, rural tranquility harmonizes with accessibility, as we are just 15 kilometers from Kathmandu—close enough for convenience, yet far enough to immerse yourself in profound stillness.
Founded in 2011, Sadhana Bhumi Ashram was born from a sacred vision: to illuminate the timeless essence of yoga sadhana. Whether you are a spiritual seeker taking your first steps on this ancient path or a devoted practitioner deepening your understanding, you will discover the transformative power of authentic yoga here. Our teachers bring rich experience from living and sharing these sacred teachings across the UK, Japan, Australia, Switzerland, India, and Nepal. This multicultural wisdom enables them to transmit profound yogic knowledge in ways that resonate deeply with seekers from all backgrounds. Our specialized guidance encompasses spiritual mentorship, therapeutic yoga healing, and sacred practices for all life stages. If your heart calls you to dive into the most ancient and transformative yoga practices, our dedicated team and the spiritually charged environment of the Himalayas will serve as perfect guides for your inner journey. Once you experience the depth of practice and community at SBHFLR, you become part of our extended spiritual family, forever welcomed to return to this sacred sanctuary.

4. SUSTAINABLE & ECO-CONSCIOUS LIVING
At Sadhana Bhumi Himalaya, we live in harmony with Mother Nature, deeply committed to environmental stewardship and preserving the pristine beauty of our Himalayan sanctuary. We source locally, cultivate organic foods in our own gardens, and harness solar and hydroelectric energy. This conscious living demonstrates the yogic principle of ahimsa (non-violence) toward our precious Earth.
5. SACRED CULTURAL IMMERSION
Beyond wellness and yoga practice, we invite you to immerse yourself in the rich spiritual heritage that surrounds our ashram. Experience guided treks through breathtaking Himalayan landscapes, witness sacred festivals, visit ancient temples and shrines, and explore timeless cities. These profound experiences deepen your connection to the living wisdom of Nepalese culture and the spiritual essence of the Himalayas.

Nourish your body with fresh, sattvic (pure) cuisine that supports both physical health and spiritual clarity.
7. COMPLETE DAILY SADHANA PROGRAM
Yoga is a way of life, and our comprehensive daily program helps you cultivate the habits and consciousness to make it your authentic lifestyle. Our structured practice includes asanas (sacred postures), pranayama (breath and vital energy work), kriyas (purification and inner energy techniques), and dhyana (meditation). These are powerful, time-tested tools for self-transformation that have guided countless seekers toward self-realization and dharmic living—devoted service to all existence.
8. SACRED DISCIPLINE & COMMITMENT
During your stay, we lovingly invite you to embrace a code of sacred discipline that enhances the depth and authenticity of your retreat experience. While these practices may initially require dedication and commitment, true excellence and spiritual growth emerge only through disciplined sadhana and conscious habits. As the ancient wisdom teaches: we become what we repeatedly practice with devotion.
