Nature Yoga Retreat
A short, gentle retreat in Ghachowk village, about 30 minutes above Pokhara at 1,320m, combining daily classical Hatha yoga and guided meditation with open spiritual discussion (Satsang). Guests arrive in the afternoon, settle in with tea, and begin practice the following morning – outdoors facing the Annapurna range when the weather allows. Suitable for all levels, including complete beginners, it is an easy reset to fit into a wider trip to Nepal.
Sound Healing & Ayurvedic Retreat
A restorative four-day retreat combining Tibetan singing bowl sound healing, Ayurvedic consultation and treatment, gentle yoga and Himalayan herbal nutrition at our ashram in Ghachowk (1,320m), about 40 minutes from Pokhara. Each day includes sound sessions with Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls and gongs, alongside yoga, pranayama and guided meditation. The unhurried rhythm suits beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Intense Yogasana & Meditation Retreat
An intensive asana retreat for dedicated practitioners, built around tapas, the steady discipline of consistent effort. Sessions begin at an introductory level and intensify progressively through the week, combining structured classical asana sequences, pranayama and meditation within the framework of Patanjali's eight limbs. Personal adjustments and one-on-one guidance are given in a small group at the ashram in Ghachowk near Pokhara.
