Authentic experience & traditional holistic way of doing yoga
14 Apr 2022 HYN Himalayan Yoga Academy
I enjoyed my time a lot at the Himalayan yoga academy family! I started with a yoga retreat and continued with a reiki degree 1 course. First of all, I loved that it’s a very authentic experience because it is a family business and everyone is helping and supporting in every way they can. Everyone is Helping with all questions and arrangements you might have. I could not only learn about very authentic and holistic yoga and reiki (I realised how much is missing compared to western yoga practices) but also learn about how to make traditional food recipes e.g mo mo’s and curry. Yoga retreat: I’m sure you can’t get a better package for such a reasonable price! Yoga twice per day plus massages , sound therapy or adjustable sightseeing and a lot of tea and water. Everything according to your wishes, you just have to let them know what you need/want. I loved Atma Swamis morning and evening hatha yoga classes. So much passion,knowledge and fun! Also so much deep relaxation during yoga meditation classes in the evening. You can even request Ashtanga yoga classes if you prefer or simply mix it (depending on what your fellows want too) Facilities: It’s located on the edge of Kathmandu outside of the traffic and busy life from the city centre. It’s not completely in nature but the good thing is you have everything around you e.g shops, ATM, monasteries in walking distance! It’s a temporary location and they are planning to move more outside into nature. Teachers: All teachers are very experienced and contagious with their positive, wise and spiritual energy. I learned a lot and realised how deep the yoga and their philosophy is and how much there still is to learn! Food: The food from Kopila and the girls is amazing! Very healthy and the food varied a lot. Tea is served at any time I left the place hungry for more knowledge and yoga practice! I will miss the daily yoga practice and the people! I recommend it to everyone who wants to experience yoga in a traditional holistic way and still be connected to the city!
