Start Your Journey in the Himalayas
Beginner Yoga Classes
Never done yoga? No problem. Our beginner classes are designed for those new to the practice, with patient instruction, clear explanations, and a welcoming environment.
Yoga for Complete Beginners
Starting something new can feel intimidating, especially when you see experienced yogis bending into impressive shapes. Our beginner classes remove that pressure entirely. Every student in the room is new to yoga, and our instructors specialize in building foundations from the ground up.
Unlike drop-in classes where beginners try to keep up with experienced practitioners, our beginner program moves at your pace. We teach proper alignment from the start - not to limit you, but so you build habits that will serve your practice for years to come.
The Himalayan setting adds something special to learning yoga. There's a natural calm here that urban studios simply cannot replicate. Many beginners find they progress faster in this environment, free from the distractions and pace of city life.
After building your foundation in beginner classes, you might consider our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program to deepen your practice. For a different pace, try our evening yoga classes to unwind at sunset.
What You'll Learn
Foundation Poses
Learn the essential postures - standing, seated, and lying down. Focus on alignment and awareness rather than flexibility.
Breath Basics
Discover how breath connects to movement. Learn simple pranayama techniques that calm the mind and energize the body.
Body Awareness
Develop proprioception - understanding where your body is in space. This awareness prevents injury and deepens practice.
Relaxation
Learn true relaxation through yoga nidra and guided shavasana. Many students find this the most transformative part.
Why Our Beginner Classes Work
Small Groups Only
Maximum 6 students per beginner class. Your teacher can see every alignment issue and offer personal corrections.
Patient Instruction
Our beginner instructors specialize in new students. No rushed explanations, no assumed knowledge. Every term explained.
Proper Foundation
Learn correctly from day one. Habits formed in early practice are hard to change later - we build good ones from the start.
Peaceful Environment
The quiet of Ghachowk village supports focused learning. No traffic noise, no phone notifications - just you and your practice.

Really nice spot to stay some days in Pokhara in between trekkings. Lovely yoga classes from Deepika 2 times a day. Oasis of peace with little garden in the center of Pokhara near the lakeside.
