The Mission

There is a reason why the acronym used for the Yogic Living Foundation is F.L.Y. i.e. in opposite sequence of words. This itself reflects the whole essence of the camp. In the pursuit of peace and happiness, people have paid all attention to fix everything outside. The camp aims to re-establish the fact that the peace and happiness is not as elusive as it appears provided you reverse the seeking from outside to inside. The real treasure lies just very inside you and it is not impossible to attain it.

Through the living experience of a yogic life, camp will make you believe that –

  • It is still possible to live like a yogi.
  • You need not compromise on daily duties and aspirations
  • Peace and happiness is your right and you do not need to compromise that either.

Why is the FLY camp EXACTLY for you?

Yogic Life is a set of practices that establishes the peace, joy and well-being as integral part of your life by means of the natural resources readily available for one and all. The yogic living foundation (FLY) camp will establish a yogic routine in your life which will improve your inner well-being and enhance your focus at work and duties without compromising the peace of mind. By attending the camp, you will –

  1. Live a life of a yogi for two days
  2. Settle into a yogic routine that is designed to suit your regular life
  3. Adopt healthy habits necessary for the physical and mental well-being necessary to face the daily challenges, at ease.

Firewood transportation is prohibited. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has issued a notice prohibiting the movement of all species of firewood into the State, effective immediately.

PLEASE help us and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture by not transporting firewood into Pennsylvania. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
