The Story of our Yoga Room

Atma Darshan

A place for souls to gather and connect

Building the Atma Darshan Yoga Studio was a community project from the start. Many helpers volunteered their hearts and hands.

Here you can see the haybale-inside of the walls. Thick enough to carve out a flower display!

The Deck

We use the deck for havan (a healing mantra chanting practice), kirtan (call and respose singing of devotional songs) and yantra making - as above the Durga Yantra during an Ayurvedic Women's Retreat in 2020.

Being in Nature is an important aspect of every gathering as it supports the connection with the elements and feeling 'at home' within oneself.

The idea to build a yoga room on the property was born out of passion for yoga and community. It became a real community project with lots of talented and enthusiastic people helping. Our deep appreciation, respect and gratitude goes to names, names, names.........

When we decided how large the room should be, Kristina walked about a square big enough to fit 8 people - not thinking that there would ever need to be space for more than that! In them eantime, we have run retreats with up to 20 participants (plus facilitators and helpers) and evthe occasional kirtan celebration and talks on spiritual topics with up to 35 people.
