Open to committed beginners and experienced practitioners alike, with start dates every week year-round.

A three-month residential course at Bodhidham ashram for students who want to understand yoga as a complete tradition rather than physical exercise alone.

200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
A Yoga Alliance registered (RYS 200) teacher training in Ghachowk village near Pokhara (1,320m), after which graduates can register as RYT 200 teachers. Over 21 residential days the curriculum covers the full practice: Hatha and Ashtanga asana, pranayama, meditation and Yoga Nidra, mantra, philosophy and ethics, anatomy, and teaching methodology with supervised teaching practice. Groups are capped at 8 students, so every trainee receives hands-on corrections and close guidance from teachers trained in the Himalayan and Rishikesh traditions.

Students receive a Yoga Alliance advanced certificate, which contributes toward RYT 500 registration when combined with a 200-hour certification.

Poon Hill Yoga Trek
A moving yoga and meditation retreat on one of the most accessible trails in the Annapurna region – a first Himalayan trek with no technical climbing, suitable for beginners.

The practice unfolds through rhododendron and oak forests to a sunrise session on Poon Hill (3,210m) facing the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
