    Nice for yoga
    This is a great place for a yoga retreat, it’s quiet, the people are nice, and the teachers are great! The accommodation and food are very comfortable. There is yoga in the morning and meditation in the afternoon. You can also learn yoga and singing bowls here. I will come back next time.

    Enrolling in the Singing Bowl Teacher Training at Himalaya Yoga Academy was a transformative experience. The comprehensive curriculum not only delved into the art of playing singing bowls but also provided a profound understanding of their therapeutic applications. The instructor's expertise and passion illuminated each session, making the learning journey both enriching and enjoyable. The serene ambiance of Himalaya Yoga Academy enhanced the experience, offering a perfect setting for immersion in this ancient practice. Grateful for the insightful teachings and the warm hospitality of the hosts, this training surpassed my expectations, leaving me equipped with valuable skills and cherished memories. Highly recommend this program for anyone seeking a deep dive into the world of singing bowls with exceptional guidance.

    Great experience!
    I spent 4 wonderful days at Himalayan Yoga Academy and they were absolutely amazing! All the teachers are fantastic, the massage therapy and sound healing are amazing! Suyog who runs the Retreat is very helpful and Kopila the chef makes the most delicious vegetarian food! Beds are very comfortable too! Highly recommend if you’re looking to disconnect for awhile and feel the great energy of this place!

    Magical
    This was one of the most magical experiences of my life. Himalayan Yoga Academy is by far the best course to get certified in Yoga. Their family is amazing, their teachers are top-notch and the classmates and people around make it so much better. I recommend this place 100% you will be making the right choice

    A true blessing indeed.
    The sound healing course they offered was amazing and extremely in-depth. The syllabus incorporated various aspects of yoga together with nada yoga, something you can’t get anywhere else. I’ve tried. It’s also recognised by Yoga Alliance. The facilities were great, and the classes were well organised. Teachers ensured every student grasped the basics prior to moving onto other advanced techniques. Food was sattvic and everybody’s energy was extremely pleasant. It was a blessing to be there. Will be doing my YTTC here for sure. Can’t wait to go there for another course again. Thank you my brothers and sisters from Kaivalya/Himalayan Yoga Academy!

They practice with open hearts and kindness - making all of the students feel welcome The accommodation very comfortable and food are very delicious 😋.

    Best experience in Nepal
    My stay at the Himalayan Yoga Academy was just perfect, starting from the amenities to the yoga teaching course. The place is so peaceful and all the staff members are beyond friendly. It is the great place for relaxing and recharging, with various yoga and meditation classes. The yoga instructors are best in Nepal, if you are planning to do a yoga teaching course or just a short retreat, you can’t find a better place for it!

    Love it💕
    No doubt!! you will gain not only knowledge but also friends and family. The teachers were very kind, patience and passionate too. The staff are helpful and kind, food were also delicious . Too bad their hot water didn’t function correctly, and the schedule had changed suddenly after I arrived in Nepal, It seemed very hectic and less organized. However, no matter I had a rough beginning, it ended beautifully 🥰..I’ll go back again next year

I booked a retreat program of 8 days, which I spent 6 on a buddist monasterie Nagi Gompa. I was a very special plase to be, quiet as I wanted, in the middle of a national park, so it is sourrended by jungle. During this days, I did yoga classes, meditation classes, hiking, one full silence day, and could joing puja cerimonies as well as talk to some nuns and students. Pack a small bag to go, because you have to walk up around 2,5 km carrying it. They have good hot shower, good room, good vegetarian food and lots os hospitality. It was a great gift for myself.

It was a beautiful experience to discover Nepal thanks to the help and assistance of Suyog and his family. The idea to connect you with local instructors and locals was wonderful. I spent a couple of days in a Buddhist monastery and had a beautiful and peaceful time. And experience like no other.
I was able to make a tour around the city as well and felt safe and if at any time i needed anything could count with the yoga academy staff. Thanks a lot. Namaste

I had such a wonderful spiritual learning experience at Himalayan Yoga Academy. I was there for only 7 days and I was able to learn various meditation techniques and spiritual ideologies. I highly recommend their meditation training if you are seeking to move up to the next level of your meditation practice. Suyog is taking after his father and is doing an amazing job running the business. It is a beautifully owned family organization and I highly suggest that you take the time to learn from them.

What a lovely experience. The 200 hours prepared me for the most importants parts of yoga, being thaught the philosophy as well as the asanas and meditation. The 300 hours following was even better. We had a smaller group and there was so much detail being given by the teachers concidering the spiritual and physical part of yoga. These 45 days really changed my way of looking to oneself, to find more rest, love and peace with every situation in life.

Namaste

We had an amazing experience at the Himalayan Yoga Center. We came for 4 days Yoga retreat. We felt from day 1 that we were with our relatives or friends. Suyog was able to organize everything for us: massage, meditation, yoga classes, singing bowl, transportation, city tour…Thank you to Suyog and his lovely family for taking care of us and making us enjoying our experience. Highly recommended!!

I joined 4 day retreat programme at Himalayan Yoga Academy and the time I had there was just perfect.

The programme was very well prepared from start to finish. Their retreat programmes are great for those who want to unwind. They have highly knowledgeable teachers and a nice collection of books, so it is also a great place to deepen your Yoga practice or to learn more about Yoga. Additionally, they organize noncurricular activities such as hiking and city tours, which is perfect to get a taste of Nepal.

The Academy locates in a peaceful area, the builiding has a lovely garden and a rooftop with city and mountain views. Guest rooms are spacious and provides all the comfort that a person needs.

Suyog, his mom and the staff at the Academy are wonderful people, I really feel lucky to having met them. Thanks to these amazing people, you can be sure that your mind, body and spirit will be taken good care.
