Testimonials
“Holding space at The Himalayan Institute allowed for the more transformational experience for both participants and myself. Working with the HI team in preparation was incredible and beyond any expectations! Grateful”
My students still talk about the quiet, the memory of connecting to each other without the commotion of today’s world. There is a dignity about the Himalayan Institute. No matter who you run into, they know who they are, they are grounded with meditation and the chance to live an Ayurvedic lifestyle that has been in place for a very long time.
Quite simply if you are looking for a true retreat center for yoga and meditation, this is it. From the beginning of the idea to the realization of a retreat, you will be supported and encouraged. The Himalayan institute staff will work with you and for you. It is important that the students you invite to retreat with you here, know that they are coming to an ashram and that that is not something to be unsure about, or anxious about. Rather something to embrace, acknowledge and appreciate.
