Jivana - Toronto's 1st Urban Ashram

Why Jivana?

Jivana isn’t an escape—it’s an invitation. An urban ashram for those seeking a different rhythm of life. Here, spiritual practice is woven into city living, and community is at the heart.

Our Story

We created Jivana to bring ancient wisdom into our modern, urban lives. In a world that moves quickly and often pulls us away from our true selves, Jivana offers a gentle return — to stillness, clarity, and connection.

Rooted in the traditional ashram framework, Jivana leans on various time-honored traditions that have guided seekers for centuries. We’ve simply adapted them for the city — with daily rhythm, shared practice, nourishing food, and conscious community right here in Toronto.Jivana is here to remind us that peace, purpose, and presence aren’t things we have to chase — they already live within us. Sometimes, we just need the space to remember.

"It is an invitation to explore real Yoga—beyond poses, beyond dogma. Here, ancient wisdom meets modern city rhythms."
