Yogi Hari's Ashram - Sampoorna Yoga

Om Shanti 🕉️🙏✨ I wanted to write this to let everyone at the Yogi Hari Ashram of Samoorna Yoga know that this has truley been a life transformational experience for me. What I've learned in a 2-week course, I could write a book on. Not only did I learn about Yoga Techniques, Methodology, Philosophy, Anatomy and Physiology..  I've learned so much about myself. The amount of wealth of knowledge Shri Yogi Hari shared has changed my being. Not only did I learn lots from him, but he gave me an invaluable gift and that gift has been something I've been seeking for many, many years. The confidence and a new feeling of self, Yogi Hari has blessed me to move forward confidently on my new path. I've been wanting to move into for a very long time now. Being here I can say I have healed many parts of myself. I was able to laugh & cry and truley be my silly authentic self & feel supported. Truly a blessing. Although, I may not have been the typical yoga student that has shown up here and I may have done things a little differently. I just want to say thank you for giving me the space to express and find myself, what an amazing experience. I've been surrounded by a wonderful Yogi family that has really created an inspiring sanctuary for people to come & connect, learn & heal.. So much Love & appreciation goes to Shri Yogi Hari, his beautiful family and his dedicated deciples for maintaining the program & doing everything behind the scenes that we didn't see. The hard work does not go unoticed. Such wonderful meals and service. I will forever be grateful and appreciative for this opportunity to have come & learn, live and receive a true authentic experience on this path. With a full warm open heart I leave the Ashram with immense love here for all here and for all to come. Yogi Hari has truly created a wonderful place here on Earth and I look forward to coming back and seeing and connecting with the Sampoorna Yogi family in the future, and checking in to see how everyone's Journey has been. With Much Love and Gratitude, Your Yogi friend, Joshua Om Shanti 🕉️🙏✨

Peace & Love, It has taken me over a year to write this review as eye’ve been working through the trauma eye experienced while attending my YTT here. This has been a daily journey. Let me be clear: THIS IS NOT A SAFE SPACE FOR WOMEN! Eye graduated from the ashram in November 2023 and chose to stay afterward to learn and teach Sampoorna Yoga as a disciple of Yogi Hari. Pros: 1. Eye met a group of wonderful women who supported one another during our time there. 2. The food provided was nourishing and enjoyable. 3. Learned Sampoorna Yoga (but honestly, save your money—buy his book, and you’ll learn as much as you would from attending). Cons: 1. Upon my arrival, there was no one to greet me or provide instructions on where to place my belongings. This lack of organization made for a stressful start. 2. There was ongoing tension within Yogi Hari’s family that sometimes affected the program’s environment and created distractions. 3. Witnessed Yogi Hari speaking to and treating his disciples with little to no respect. 4. Our beach day, which was supposed to be included in the tuition, turned into an additional expense. The guru was supposed to accompany us, but the day before, we were told we’d be responsible for arranging our own transportation to and from the beach as well as paying for our lunch. The guru didn’t come at all. Greatfull for previous alumni’s Hector & Emilio who was super supportive during my stay! 5. Unclear Expectations for Karma Yoga: After agreeing to stay on as a disciple with the understanding that my stay would be in exchange for karma yoga, eye was later asked to purchase groceries for the ashram without prior notice or agreement. 6. Personal Interactions with Yogi Hari: During my stay, eye felt uncomfortable with some of Yogi Hari’s behavior & inappropriate language. After declining a personal request that eye believed was inappropriate, eye noticed a significant change in his demeanor toward me, which made the environment feel increasingly hostile. The situation became unbearable, and eye had to coordinate my escape from the ashram. Eye even sought advice from his family about leaving and requested a partial refund so eye could depart immediately. Their lack of surprise when eye disclosed his behavior spoke volumes. However, eye was told that eye’d have to discuss any refunds directly with Yogi Hari. To make matters worse, he lied to his family about the real reason for my departure, further adding to the confusion and stress. 7. After leaving, eye filed a formal grievance with Yoga Alliance regarding my experience. After their investigation, Yogi Hari’s Yoga Alliance certification was suspended. While this suspension does not prevent him from continuing to teach, it means he is no longer authorized to certify students under Yoga Alliance. However, eye observed that Yogi Hari continues to offer teacher training programs, which may mislead prospective students into believing they are receiving Yoga Alliance-certified training. Eye am aware that there are other victims who have chosen to remain silent, but eye refuse to stay quiet. Sharing my story is not easy, but it’s necessary to shed light on this toxic environment and warn others. Trust your intuition and be cautious when considering where to dedicate your time, energy, and spiritual growth. OM Shanti 🕉️

Yogi Hari's Ashram is an authentic experience of true Eastern yoga!! I had a great experience based on the amount of effort I put in ☺️ Ultimately if you were led to this ashram follow your intuition and your heart. This is a great place to be 💜 It is a beautiful and safe place to learn and grow

Wonderful Ashram with amazing yoga instructors, sat-sang with a living Guru, divine music and chanting by Yogi Hari and Rasa. Oh, did I mention the food…..fresh, nutritious, tasty, and cooked with love. Vegetarian. Gluten-free. Amazing Sampoorna Yoga practice and teacher certification, and they had a Yoga Nidra training during my stay too. Everything about this immersion was beautiful. Do yourself a favor sign up here for YTT or Karma Yoga. You’ll be glad you did. Stu “Suddha” Smith

It is a unique experience to be at the Ashram and in the presence of a real master like Guruji Yogi Hari. He is an ocean of knowledge that I can not exhaust in this lifetime. With passion and devotion he generously and lovingly shares his knowledge and his home and daily life to inspire us to evolve on our path. Every time I come here he helps me to change my life and myself to the better. This brought more health, happiness, joy, peace, focus, efficency, better discrimination, richer relationships and more selfknowledge into my life. His teachings correspond with my inner truth and he helps me to find answers to all of my questions. The holistic Sampoorna Yoga System gives so many means on so many levels for better health, peace of mind and for balancing my whole personality and for revealing my potentials. The Ashram is a wonderful place like an oasis with a huge garden full of fruits and vegetables to enjoy and to nurse. The work in the garden is very healing and enjoyable. It's a peaceful place with beautiful landscape, ideal to renounce from the busy worldly life and to recover and get new inspiration. The loving people and atmosphere here help immediately to see the bright sight of life. When you come here you should definitely take a photograph in the beginning and at the end of your stay and observe the difference 😉
