Part of a Living Sanctuary
The Yoga Cottage is part of The Way Inn — a small, intentional village sangha that includes the Bhavan Guest House, Kutir, and Seva Residence. At any time, you may see 3–15 community members moving quietly about the grounds. You're warmly invited to join us in the Yoga Shala, Commons, gardens, and trails. Community and solitude gracefully coexist here.
Nature Notes
As part of our permaculture harmony, you may hear gentle early-morning sounds — chickens, a neighbor's rooster, and our charming guinea bird greeting the dawn around 6–7 AM. Their presence helps control ticks and supports the land's balance. You'll also likely meet Buddy, our friendly black cat, who loves attention but is not allowed inside guest spaces. No pets allowed — very sorry.
