The morning air tastes of pine and hot tea as you step onto a flagstone courtyard below terraced hills. In the distance the Himalaya rise with white caps that dare you to go higher; nearby, prayer flags click in a steady wind that feels like encouragement. This is a place where yoga practice moves from studio to landscape—sun salutations followed by walks where cedar and rhododendron press close enough to brush your mat.

The morning air tastes of pine and hot tea as you step onto a flagstone courtyard below terraced hills. In the distance the Himalaya rise with white caps that dare you to go higher; nearby, prayer flags click in a steady wind that feels like encouragement. This is a place where yoga practice moves from studio to landscape—sun salutations followed by walks where cedar and rhododendron press close enough to brush your mat.
The program sits in the cultural orbit of Kathmandu and the old yogic routes of Machhendranath and Gorakhnath; local myths and tantric lineages thread through daily practice. Geologically the valley is young and steep—short valleys give quick vantage points and compact trails that make a 3–5 day trek feel alpine without multi-day logistics. Culturally you’ll encounter Newar villages, home-cooked vegetarian meals, and opportunities for karma yoga helping local health projects.
Practical guidance: the course runs about 24 days and combines classroom hours, hands-on healing techniques (massage, singing bowl) and an optional guided trek led by certified guides. Expect structured daily schedules, vegetarian home-cooked food, and communal living. Bring a reliable yoga mat, sturdy trekking boots for the Himalayan days, layered clothing for cool mornings, and a reusable water bottle. Hydrate on practice days and acclimatize slowly before the trek portion. Respect local customs—modest dress in villages—and carry cash for small purchases. For anyone wanting to deepen a sadhana while getting basic mountain experience, this is a pragmatic, place-based training that pairs certification with real-world service and short Himalayan exposure.
