5-7 Days of Inner Exploration
Yoga & Meditation Retreat
For those seeking depth beyond asana. Our meditation-focused retreat combines gentle yoga with intensive meditation practice in the profound silence of the Himalayas.
The Meditation You've Been Seeking
Most yoga retreats treat meditation as an afterthought - a brief sitting before or after asana practice. This retreat reverses that ratio. Here, meditation is primary, with gentle yoga as support for the body that must sit for extended periods.
Drawing from Vipassana, mindfulness, and traditional yogic meditation techniques, you'll experience multiple approaches and discover what works for your mind. The Himalayan setting - profound silence, mountain energy, clean air - creates conditions for meditation that are difficult to find anywhere else.
Noble silence is maintained for the core of the retreat, broken only for instruction and guidance. This isn't punishment; it's liberation. In silence, the mind finally has space to settle.

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.
