Yogaban Retreat

I only came by for a morning yoga class and a massage for my husband and me, but we were welcomed like retreat guests. We arrived late, and the instructor kindly waited ten minutes to start. Finding a driver to come up here can be difficult, so call a car early. The yoga was great, and they even served us breakfast and lunch. I also managed to join a sound bath at the last minute, which was so relaxing. The massage was the highlight, the best one I’ve had in five years of living in Asia. I really got a taste of the retreat experience as a drop-in. Can’t recommend it enough.

The retreat wrapped up at 8:30pm each day after Yoga Nidra and candle gazing meditation. Mornings started at 6am with meditation and cleansing, then traditional Hatha Yoga. We also had steam baths, sound healing, yogic meals, and Bhakti Yoga. I did a one-on-one traditional Hatha Yoga retreat at Yogaban Retreat Center in Pokhara, guided by Mahesh Shrestha, Amrita Ghimire, and Yogesh Karki. Their knowledge helped me refine my technique, deepen my personal practice, and reconnect with the roots of authentic Hatha Yoga. By the end, I felt physically lighter, mentally clear, and spiritually grounded. I’m grateful for the team’s care and knowledge. It’s rare to find such an authentic experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their practice. 🙏🏼

Yogesh was a deeply professional and spiritual guide, leading philosophy and meditation with wisdom and clarity. His presence inspired me, and his mantra chanting was moving and heart-opening. The place itself is peaceful and beautiful, with serene surroundings, delicious food, and a welcoming, home-like feel. It’s well suited to spiritual practice, meditation, or simply relaxing. A lovely place to find harmony in body, mind, and soul. Highly recommended for anyone seeking inner peace and authentic guidance. 🙏🌿

I’ve visited Yogaban many times for different holistic events. It’s set in lovely green surroundings, a little away from the main road but still easy to reach. You feel the peace as soon as you arrive, with birdsong all around and smiling people to welcome you. The yoga shala is spacious, well equipped, and has an incredible view. There’s also a large, comfortable space for sound healing and other activities. The Yogaban team takes care of every detail, serving tea and bowls of fresh food so kindly. I have friends who are staying there and are very happy. I’d recommend it for events, yoga, retreats, or a stay.
