TAPOVAN Open University of yoga and Ayurveda

A peaceful forest, full of joy, light and spirituality - this is the image evoked by TAPOVAN, where sages of India practiced their yoga. This symbolical name illustrates the ideal towards which we aim at. For the last 30 years, Tapovan helps people to progress towards a greater welfare physically, mentally and spiritually and move towards an inner harmony and a greater understanding of themselves. Tapovan took its inspiration from Nalanda and Takshashila, ancient universities of antic India, where studies not only developed the intellect but also sensibility, emotions, creativity, psychological and spiritual openness to create an Open University of yoga and Ayurveda . Our main activities include: Seminars and courses (in Ayurveda, massage, yoga) Ayurvedic retreats and treatments Forums, International symposiums and get togethers

Today, Tapovan is recognized as the one of the most authentic centers in Europe for the training of yoga and Ayurveda, at the parting of East and West.
