If you want to learn "something", and you are concerned "to make it cleaner", then it's too early for you to go to the ashram.
You have to be spiritually prepared for the ashram. Going to the ashram without preparation is like throwing a child into the water. It might float, it might sink. You will not only be disappointed with the food, you will be bursting with irritation or anger or envy, you may be frightened by practitioners' screams, or you will be bored by sitting still for many hours.
Like doing Qi Gong or yoga. There you will understand if you need it, and what exactly you want to achieve.

I agree with the thoughts expressed in the previous review. But if you still want to try something, start it at home. Yoga teachers can be found here too. He will tell you a lot and explain. Read special literature. Get acquainted with the cultural traditions of the country, religions, the origin of yoga as a practice. Have you been to India before. Maybe you should go for the first time as a tourist. And maybe stop by to see life in the ashrams. Are you a vegetarian? And are you ready to eat such food during your stay in the ashram? What direction in yoga do you want to practice? Whose follower are you, Sai Baba, Osho, Sri Arubindo or others. A lot depends on these issues, including advice to you. If you still decide to go spontaneously, then the practical information presented in the book: Yuri Bharat India: Ashrams may be useful to you. A guide for those who seek the light of truth. The publication is not new, so I don’t know if it is on sale. Maybe you can find it on the net. In any case, good luck !!!

No, Tom. What are you !!! :))) My personal yoga classes at home did not prevent me from having a great rest in Goa even without them. Although, of course, if you practice, you should not abandon this business. And if you were there, you saw that ordinary tourists and vacationers who came just across the sea, the sun, a good atmosphere and Old Moncom are not enough :)

If for the first time and you still do not know what exactly you need, go not to Goa, but to Kerala. There you can see the ashrams, and just do yoga in the hotel, and relax like an ordinary tourist, eat both vegetarian and regular food, drink rum and not drink anything. And after some time, decide how to live on)):

Goa is light India. I'm talking about regions such as Dkli, Jaipur, etc.
I’ve been to Sharm, but I boldly say that I haven’t seen Egypt and I can say I haven’t been! :)

Absolutely right. I also do yoga at home in Dnipro. This is a great gymnastics for joints and ligaments. But, after reading about yoga as a way of life, about ashrams, I realized that I was not ready for such yoga yet)):. But the rest in Goa was simply stunning (if there is such a word)

TombArthur, I advise the author of the question about Goa. As far as I understand, she is only planning to get acquainted with the country - India and its culture. And just the light version can be the best. steps more suitable Kerala. If you mean that I do not understand the difference between Goa and India in general, then you are mistaken :). At the moment, though, I had the opportunity to visit only Goa and Karnataka. But this year we fly again. And since you are a good connoisseur of India, can you advise how best to plan a move from Cochin to Mysore? (I don’t want to get to Bangalore, and from there return to Mysore). Is it worth it to visit Munar, or does it make no sense? (To the author of the topic: I'm sorry to interrupt with your question, but I hope this does not interfere with the conversation).

Hello everyone) Thank you for your advice and comments, I read everything and delve into it!!) m m m a little about myself! I have been doing yoga for about 2 years, it all started with my injury. . when I gave up on choreography and just needed a distraction. . . , but everything was a little delayed (I'm sincerely glad about it)!! I started by studying the theoretical part, I bought Iyengar's book "Yoga Deepika" and read it. . . but most of it is wasted. . I decided to sign up for classes (here in Moscow), I went to the yoga federation for a year. . , passed the initial course of the teacher. . . . ! I realized that I want to go on. . I went to Sri Lanka, studied for 2 months with a wonderful teacher, he gave the basics of the direction of Sivananda. . ! He said that I needed to go to India, that I could study, and that I could teach in the future. . ! I haven’t been meat for more than 7 years (didn’t turn out, didn’t know anything about yoga then. I just stopped), I can do a lot physically, because I have a good stretch and in general physical. Preparation. . , (gymnastics and classical choreography did not pass without a trace), but for me now the period has come when I want to understand for sure whether this is my way or not. . . I feel I have desire.. but at the same time I'm a little scared, the true acceptance of yoga.
