The time I spent at HYA was a very memorable and fulfilling experience. From the loving and understanding nature of the community at the ashram to the group activities spent playing sports or conversing over deep subjects, I felt like I had developed many great friendships only one week into my stay. Which is something that has not been so easy for me living in the city. My time spent at HYA was only about three weeks but by the end of my stay I had a new lease on life. I had gained much more self awareness of both positive and negative momentum’s that come from internal places of love or fear that aid me or hinder my growth. I would recommend the ashram to anybody who is serious about spiritual growth as it is a truly unique place with many opportunities to grow and learn in a healthy and love filled atmosphere.
