About Yoga Retreat in Pokhara
We are a yoga retreat center in Pokhara, Nepal, offering authentic Himalayan retreat experiences. Our instructors were trained in Indian Himalayan ashrams and bring traditional yoga practice to the peaceful village of Ghachowk, at the foot of the Annapurna range.
Our mission is simple: provide genuine yoga retreat experiences that transform, not just entertain. Every retreat is rooted in traditional practice — not Western wellness trends. Our teachers lived the lineage they teach, spending years in ashrams before sharing their knowledge with retreat guests.
Located in Ghachowk village, 30 minutes from Pokhara Lakeside, our center offers what tourist areas cannot: genuine peace. No bar noise competing with meditation. No restaurant bustle breaking concentration. Just village quiet, the presence of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre, and focused 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.
