Three ashrams- three very different experiences. One Ashram and another Ashram can be 2 complete different things. If you plan to stay in one for a while in India, you should know exactly what to expect from an ashram stay in India and then make the right decision. I have published an article on the website of Yogamehome.org and maybe it will help you with your decision to what kind of ashram to go to.
If, after the article, you still have a question mark in your face, but you still want to live in an ashram, participate in the everyday life of the inhabitants and practice yoga, then just take part in our Yoga retreat in our little yoga ashram in the Rajasthan desert.
By the way, Chalo! Travels friends get a month of free Yoga at Yogamehome.org. Here you will find many different online yoga videos to join from home. Have fun. Simply use this link – without any liabilities :).
