About Us

Picture
Namo Narayana.  Welcome HOME.

​Ishtadev
Niwas is an Ashram run by the Living Yoga Society; a non-profit society guided by an experienced, dedicated Board of Directors with Spiritual Direction by Sannyasi Shivani Howe. Founded and created in 2010, the Ashram is dedicated to, and inspired by the Spiritual Masters of the Saraswati Lineage and the ancient teachings of Yoga.  We aspire to live and share the teachings of these spiritual visionaries.

Learn about the Ashram, our online programs and various retreats and residencies that centre around Yoga as a lifestyle and spiritual path. 

How to get here. 

​Are you ready for an experience of Yoga that brings you HOME to the core of your being?

Located within Ktunaxa Territory / Tata Creek BC, Ishtadev Niwas Ashram is for those seeking to live this life to its fullest potential.  It is for courageous souls who seek to bring  greater meaning to their life and the world around them  through to 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.

After my week-long residency at the Ashram, my heart is full and I am more at peace than I have been in a long time. The Karma Yoga lifestyle at ‘Niwas has been life-changing and was just what my soul was yearning for.

Karma to Dharma

Calling all committed Practitioners and Teachers of Yoga!

Karma To Dharma is a core community of Yoga teachers and committed practitioners who are ready to lean into their fullest potential and explore living a Yogic lifestyle held by the pillars of Sangha (community) and Satsang (spiritual discourse seated in truth). 

It is a course and online community that bridges worlds by existing online and in-person, giving opportunity to dig deeper into Self and into the teachings. Along the way, you will connect with others and be foundationally supported to bring Yoga into your world as a way of life rather than something we practice.  ​

I spent my time at 'Niwas diving deeeeep… But I left with so much more.  A  home. A lineage to anchor into.  A teacher to turn to.  A community.  I left with such joy.  I received so much.  My container has been filled to the brim.

I have attended numerous classes and retreats and have practiced Karma Yoga at 'Niwas throughout the past year. Profound transformation has unfolded and I have been taught practices and rituals that have helped me tremendously to navigate the ups and downs of life in a state of joy instead of stress. At 'Niwas, I have found a community of like-minded individuals that thrive to delve deep into a journey of awakening.
