Salt Spring Centre of Yoga

A Non-Profit Legacy Of Yoga And Service

History

Dharma Sara Satsang Society, which oversees the operation of the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga, was founded in 1974.

The name Dharma Sara means “the essence of right living”, and Satsang means “act of gathering with people in truth”. The Society is made up of a diverse group of volunteers, united by the common practices of Yoga as taught by Baba Hari Dass, affectionately known as Babaji.

In harmony with yoga philosophy, the Society has the central aim of fostering the search by each person to find the deep inner peace of spiritual fulfillment.

Our Mission

Dharma Sara Satsang Society, inspired by the example and teachings of Baba Hari Dass, is dedicated to the principles and practices of Classical Ashtanga Yoga. By means of Sadhana (spiritual practice), Karma Yoga (selfless service), and Satsang (supportive community), we aspire to create an environment for the attainment of peace.

We are a non-profit educational and spiritual retreat centre dedicated to teaching the core principles of yoga which embody peace, resilience, and belonging. Founded in 1981 by venerated master yogi Baba Hari Dass from India — the Centre is the west coast of Canada’s longest running spiritual and wellness retreat centre. Here, the magic of our 69 acres of land weaves together with the stories of those transformed by it and the spirit of selfless service is sewn into every tiny detail. If you’re looking for a sacred space to host a wellness retreat…take a yoga teacher training…to learn or deepen your spiritual practice…to be of service..or just to discover peace…then you’ve arrived.
