We welcome students from anywhere in the world to join our programs!

The first part of each course begins with classes held on-site in Cleveland so you can receive personal feedback and guidance from our staff.  If you are from the Cleveland area, you may commute to class each day.

Not from Cleveland, or looking to get away from your regular routine and immerse yourself more fully in a yogic lifestyle?  Consider staying at our Residential Facility.  It is within easy walking distance from the Atma Center and features a practice hall, meditation room, full kitchen, meditation garden, and more.  You can share a room or book a private room for your stay.  Some parking is available, or you can fly in to Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport and take the bus or rapid.  

Prices for housing:

$40 per night for a shared (with 1 other) room in the Residential Facility

$65 per night for a private room or family room (no discounts available for this option)

$20 per night for a dormitory-style room (up to 3 other roommates) available for students receiving a discount on course fees

We offer substantial discounts for both courses and housing for students coming from countries with average incomes well below those in the United States, such as India, Colombia, Bulgaria, and Vietnam.  To find out if your country qualifies for a discount, you can contact us.  Note that you must be able to provide a copy of a passport or other proof of citizenship; if you have dual citizenship, please let us know.

Many people ask if meals are part of the course.  Simple, nutritious, vegetarian breakfasts and lunches are provided (think oatmeal with fresh fruit and wraps with hummus & veggies - not omelette bars or pizza buffets!).  Dinner is on your own - many students prepare and share their evening meals in the residential facility's full kitchen, but there are also several marketplaces and restaurants of many different ethnicities (such as Thai, Turkish, Italian, and Chinese) close by.

Have other questions, such as what books are required for the course or what to bring with you?  You can download our comprehensive Student Handbook - see the Apply page - or contact us directly with questions.  We hope to hear from you!
