About Us

As an urban yoga ashram, Kashi Atlanta exists in the guru lineage of Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati and her guru, Neem Karoli Baba. Originally founded in 1998 as Jaya Devi Yoga and renamed in 1999, Kashi Atlanta is an extension of Kashi Ashram in Sebastian, Florida. Kashi’s other main centers are located in Los Angeles and New York.

Kashi Atlanta is an interfaith spiritual community; all paths (and no path at all) are openly welcomed and honored. As Ma Jaya said, “If anyone tells you their way is the only way, you run the other way”.

The core of Kashi Atlanta’s mission is education, service and healing, with living roots in the spiritual teaching of gurus Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati and Neem Karoli Baba. Kashi Atlanta fulfills its mission through yoga, service and loving spiritual community. The body, mind and spirit are nourished in a safe, caring environment that encourages real healing and spiritual growth.

Voted Best Yoga in Atlanta annually since 2000, Kashi Atlanta offers ongoing instruction in all eight limbs of Classical Yoga, including asana, meditation, pranayama, mudra and mantra. Yoga classes are offered in several different styles and levels vary from beginner to advanced.

Class offerings also include pranayama and guided meditation, as well as a class devoted to deeper Spiritual Growth and Meditation. A broad spectrum of practitioners is represented, and each is encouraged to grow in awareness as they progress.

The ashram is open throughout the day for meditation.
