The Amrit Yoga Institute, located in Salt Springs, Florida within the peaceful Ocala National Forest, offers authentic yogic teachings through mostly online programs. Founded by Yogi Amrit Desai, a pioneer who brought classical yoga principles from India to America in the 1960s, the institute emphasizes traditional yoga philosophy and practice. All instructors are effective and thorough, teaching from the heart rather than the mind. The institute provides transformational and innovative teachings, including Yoga Nidra and Yoga Therapy training. The beautiful and serene property creates a peaceful environment, though there are no longer on-site yoga classes, so visitors must practice independently if staying there. Overall, it is a place dedicated to genuine and authentic yogic wisdom.
Amrit Yoga Institute is a phenomenal gathering of wonderful teachings. I have been lucky enough to take the Yoga Nidra training as well as the Yoga Therapy training.The teachings and work are authentic, innovative, and transformational.

This is a beautiful property and very peaceful but there is no yoga classes any longer so if you decide to stay, you are on your own. I knew that going there so it’s not a complaint.

My experience with the classes here was exceptional. Great teachers and such a rich tradition. I learned a lot not just for teaching but also for my life.
