Hello,

Would anyone be able to recommend Yoga Ashrams in the Northern part of India that is open to children staying and participating?

We have an 8 yo, 3.5yo, 8 month old.. Will be traveling to Dehli late January and have allowed 3 months in India...

What an idea for children to visit Ashram

Every age has its fashion and craze.
Indians wish children to visit Ashram. It was out ancient tradition that from age 7, child will stay in Ashram upto 25 years. and all four brahmcharyashram, to Sannayashram states were in vogue, and in real practice.
Now it is just a past and distant dream.

Now No one is doing that social service/practice, as the socieity is not supporting such system or practice. Now children are not nourished there but are prone to dangers of exploitations.
Beware of taking children to any ashrams at the tender age.
The time and age for them is to play, enjoy the bliss of innocence.
children can enjoy where there is lot of fun, water, forests and creativity.
one such ashram, not only for children but for all is OshoTapoban in Nepal is there. website address is Tapoban.com. and it is cheaper than Indian currency, more healthier place, more forests, more water, more clean air, and purity of food, meditation, lyfe stype and hygenic atmoshpere

You may try
best luck

I checked the website out for osho, but it seems in the faq:

# Can we bring children with us?
A: Avoid bringing children below 10 years old. But, if you bring them then you must make arrangements that they do not disturb you and others in the commune, otherwise they are most welcome. You can bring in a caretaker.

Sri Vast was also recommended in another thread and they emailed me back.. they are definately child friendly and happy to have the 5 of us..

the only thing is Sri Vast is in the south and we are going to the north!
