Course Fees/Investment
There are no charges for attending Govinda Valley Ashram & Yoga School courses. Our education is given freely - this includes free food and accommodation.
This is to ensure the full integrity of our project and teachings. We received this sacred wisdom from a lineage that spans thousands of generations from sages/monks that truly only wished for our happiness, growth and development.
Therefore, the teachers at Govinda Valley offer this knowledge also freely, following in the footsteps of their mentors who sought to see a world where everyone is their happiest, fullest and most authentic selves.
Our only request is that in return, all students make a sincere commitment to their personal growth, studies, service, and yoga practice.
​
To allow the scholarship nature of our courses, all students offer their support through 4 hours of service daily in the running of the ashram and our sister project Heart & Soul Retreats.
The only financial request is a student bond to ensure facilities and the learning context is well respected, which will be returned to the student upon course completion.

What our students are saying
"Working on ourselves in our morning practices was such a gift. It was at the root of what I had been yearning for...progressing my personal journey.
​
I will cherish this chapter of my life."
Jade Barclay, 2018
"Doing so can have some profound positive impact on your consciousness, mind and body. Leaving you with more room within yourself to show up as the best version of you in every moment.​"

Ruby C, 2022
"I feel more clear-headed and purpose-driven than I’ve ever been.
Govinda Valley helped me find myself – the “me” that was always there but had gotten a little lost along the way – and for that, I’ll be forever grateful"
Jade Chen, 2018
