Namo Narayana.
WELCOME HOME.

We are excited to welcome you as part of a devoted Community dedicated to "living Yoga" through authentic Ashram Life and Yoga Ecology teachings.  
Located within Ktunaxa Homelands / Ta Ta Creek BC, and in the foothills of the Purcell Mountains, Ishtadev Niwas Ashram teaches and inspires individuals through Yoga as a lifestyle and spiritual path to awaken their gifts and abilities.  It is for those seeking to live this life to its fullest potential and for courageous souls who seek to bring  greater meaning to their life and the world around them. 
Through practicing the tenets of Serve, Love and Give, we are for people who are ready to discover and explore the profound depths of who they are and who desire to exist in a state of connection with All.

​If you long to step out of the mainstream and into something beautiful, life-changing and larger than yourself, WELCOME HOME to 'Niwas.

Elevated Social Media - Announcing our New Online Community Platform!

We at ‘Niwas are so excited to announce our new Online Community that is completely contained and separate from “big” social media and hosted through Mighty Networks.  LYFE, or "Living Yoga for Everyone" is fueled by our goal to provide a private platform for members to connect, learn, be inspired, feel supported, be nourished and share ideas and thoughts on various Yogic topics. 

There are heaps of exciting benefits of becoming a member through our online community.  And in the new year we will also be adding all online programs and courses to be run through LYFE.  Learn more about LYFE here.
