This ashram 1 1/2 hours from Denver recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. The followers of Sri Shambhavananda who live here teach hatha yoga classes, give heavenly massages, and prepare wonderful vegetarian meals.

A timeless oasis set amid whispering pines and winterbare aspens, the ashram accommodates 25 guests, who come to deal with health and wellness issues, ease through major life transitions, or learn more about Hindu spirituality. They may join or observe daily chanting, meditation, or the puja purification ceremony.
