Heart of Yoga Ashram

The Heart of Yoga Ashram is a private paradise set among five acres of lush bush on the water’s edge. A beautiful sanctuary with confortable accommodations, the Heart of Yoga Ashram provides a rejuvenating experience for all who visit.

Fiji is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to New Zealand. It is comprised of 332 islands, of which approximately 100 are inhabited.

Taveuni is Fiji’s third largest island and commonly known as “The Garden Island” with its lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls and abundance of tropical flowers and plants. But it doesn’t stop there – Taveuni boasts two famous dive spots, rainbow reef and the Great White Wall which are located in the heart of the Somosomo Strait.
