Where Your Yoga Journey Takes Place Matters

A yoga venue is more than a room for practice. It is the environment where you learn, develop a routine and make time for self-study.

Nepal Yoga Institute and Retreat offers yoga programs in the Kathmandu Valley, with its published institute address in Budhanilkantha and residential programs also associated with Maitrisewa Ashram through J. P. Foundation.

These locations offer different surroundings. Budhanilkantha provides a Kathmandu Valley base near the Shivapuri area, while the rural ashram setting is associated with organic farming and community service.

Program venues and arrangements can vary. Contact the institute to confirm the location for your chosen dates before booking accommodation or transport.
