solo trip to a meditation ashram in India | what is Real Happiness?

Namaste from India! In this vlog, I take you inside my experience staying at Real Happiness Ashram in Rishikesh with founder Sanjay. I share the daily rhythm of ashram life (yoga, meditation, nourishing meals, & conversations). I sit down with Sanjay to talk about his personal meditation journey, the philosophy behind Real Happiness, and practical advice for anyone wanting to begin or grow a deeper meditation practice. If you're a yoga student, spiritual traveler, meditator, or simply someone looking to keep connecting with yourself, I hope this video gives you an honest glimpse into what this space feels like beyond the surface. If you'd like to stay at this ashram, visit the website to book or dm me on IG: https://realhappiness.org/ Topics we explore: • Daily life inside an Indian ashram • Meditation techniques + beginner advice • The meaning of “real happiness” • Yoga + mindful living in India • Building peace through simple routines Whether you're curious about visiting an ashram, deepening your meditation practice, or traveling through India with more intention, I hope this video inspires you to explore inward a little more deeply. Thanks for being here 🤍 Sam 🩷CONNECT🩷 Instagram: @whatsgoodsam Snapchat: @samrus7 TikTok: @whatsgoodsammm #meditation #travel #india #yogaflow 00:00 - Arrival 01:19 - Morning Routine 02:21 - What is Real Happiness? 04:36 - Meditation Tips 07:52 - Purpose Behind the Ashram 11:48 - Life Advice 15:03 - Outro
