Accommodation
 | Male yogis will have to share a dormitory room, bathroom and toilet. Female yogis are housed in a “kuti” which can be occupied singly or shared, depending on the number of female yogis and kuti availability. These kutis are sited behind the main 3-storey building. Bathrooms are installed with water heaters for bathing and are adequate for the use of female yogis. Accommodation for all yogis are simple and comfortable enough so as not to cause any cultural shock to foreign yogis who are used to modern amenities back home. |
