“Karma Yoga is a method of purifying the mind through work.  All fear and all desire to enjoy here or hereafter must be banished for ever by the Karma Yogi. The karma without desire of return will destroy selfishness, which is the root of all bondage. The watchword of the Karma Yogi is "not I, but You," and no amount of self-sacrifice is too much for such a person.”

"Swami Vivekananda"

Yoga philosophy, similar to Buddhism, believes that spiritual ignorance creates suffering. The law of karma is central to the philosophy of yoga. Karma is the glue that attaches us to the wheel of samsara, which perpetuates our suffering.

KARMA is very important in the Yoga practice.

We are offering Karma Yoga during the Retreats and also we donate 10% for Children in Morocco, India and South America from the Retreat costs. Also if you like to bring something from home with you, you are very Welcome. We go to visit Nomads in the Desert and Amazinghs People on the high Atlas Mountain. On our Day Trip to Imlil we buy some books and pens for the children, that they can use them in school. Believe me the Kids are always more than happy to get those gifts.

Be the giver, my friend. As this is the only single way to make our society better. Be the change, you want to see in this world. “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another person.” Every sunrise is an invitation for us to arise and brighten someone's day.

So be the light of someone's darkness.

Project Girls Education 

Yogi Simon Gill was my Guru and is the founder of 

“LIGHT IN HIMALAYAS YOGA SCHOOL” 

Unfortunately he is not with us anymore, but his soul is still here. His Son Chistopher decided to step in his footsteps. Which is very beautiful, because Simon took care of 142 needy Kids. Also if you are looking to find a great Philosophy Teacher, you are here on the right adress with Cristopher.

Yogi Simon Gill was from Rishikesh, India and brings more than 16 years of experience as a philosophy teacher with him. He studied the Holy Bible, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Sikhism and many other philosophies and theologies. Since childhood it has been his personal interest to learn the truth about "The Universe". "The highest force" or nature. He constantly wanted to study the ancient Indian scriptures thoroughly, such as VEDAS, UPNISHEDAS, PURANAS and many other scriptures, as these scriptures provide us with knowledge. Simon became a yogi more than 40 years ago by living and studying yoga. He lived with his spiritual master in different parts of the Himalayas for 12 years. Under the loving and kind guidance and life experiences of his Guru, he learned about many types and styles of yoga. Yoga science and therapy, meditation and Ayurvedic medicine. His goal was to spread the true knowledge of yoga around the world. In modern times, yoga is typically marketed for profit and a means to an end. Meditation is usually taught for the purpose of stress relief, in order to relieve stress. But all of these practices have a deeper effect when we understand them as a practice of bliss and eternal peace.

View words from Simon to us, may he rest in peace.

I am sure that God will bless you abundantly.

Project Girls Education Program 

"LIGHT IN HIMALAYAS YOGA SCHOOL” Rishikesh is situated at the bank of the Holy River Ganga. It is a beautiful and peaceful place, in the foothills of the Himalayas surrounded by small villages. We don’t have our own building; we are running this school in a rental ashram building.

The aim of our Yoga school is based upon the spiritual phenomena; SEVA (Selfless Service), SAMARPAN 

(Devotion), SATSANGA (Fellowship), SWADHAYE (Self-Realization) and SADHNA (Spiritual Practice).

Our Yoga school organizes various types of activities time to time for the welfare of mankind;

Free Medical Camps, Eye Camp, Yoga Camp, Yoga therapy & Naturopathy Camp. 

Recently we have started “GIRLS EDUCATION PROGRAM” especially for the girls who are living below the poverty line and unable to afford the school expenses. In this program, our Yoga school is providing:

Free Computer Education to the children

Free Yoga Classes for School Kids.

Free Classes of Spoken English and Free Books & School Uniform for school kids.

For this GIRLS EDUCATION PROGRAM, we have selected 118 Girls from 11 villages who are really 

from very poor families and need support.

To make this program successful, your kind Prayers, Love and Support is needed.

$ 10 a month may be a small amount for you, but for the thousands of children benefitted through such donations of our donors, this amount is a life transforming blessing. Help us carry on with our education programmes, reaching the children who need us.
