About This Tour

About This Tour

Nepal is the birthplace of the Buddha and the spiritual crossroads of Hindu and Buddhist traditions — a place where yoga and meditation have been practiced for millennia. The Yoga and Meditation Day Experience offers a half-day or full-day practice at a peaceful retreat centre, guided by an experienced local instructor who draws on authentic tradition rather than commercial yoga industry trends.

The session includes asana practice, pranayama breathing techniques, and guided meditation, adapted to your level and experience. The setting — a mountain-view retreat centre in the Kathmandu Valley or Pokhara lakeside — provides the atmosphere that makes practicing in Nepal qualitatively different from practicing at home.
