Popești Leordeni

Hridaya Romania – Popești Leordeni

In the peaceful village of Sânpetru, near the Carpathian Mountains of the Transylvania Region, there is a place dedicated to Stillness, Self-Inquiry, and the awakening of the Heart.

Hridaya Romania (known locally as Kamala Center) has been sharing the Hridaya teachings since 2007. Surrounded by the beauty of the Dealul Lempeș (Lempes Hill) Nature Reserve, with its rare wildflowers and soaring birds, it’s a space that naturally supports contemplation and inner exploration.

We offer silent meditation retreats, Hridaya Hatha Yoga, teacher training courses, workshops, and daily yoga and meditation classes. You’re invited to rediscover the beauty of the Spiritual Heart and the quiet presence within. At Hridaya Romania, you’ll find a welcoming environment led by yoga teachers with more than 40 years of experience.

All are welcome to join us and experience the depth of yoga in a setting of simplicity, warmth, and openness.
