Tantra Yoga Retreat in Nepal
Learn this ancient yoga system from the Himilayan region of Nepal, the land of Tantra. Tantra is the ancient science which uses specific techniques (yoga practices) to expand and liberate the consciousness from its limitations. Its practice gradually brings about the awakening of kula kundalini (cosmic power) that is dormant in everyone. When kundalini becomes activated she moves through the chakras creating transformation bringing out our highest potential. Finally Kundalini unties with higher consciousness in the crown chakra bestowing us with pure bliss. Tantra offers a 5 Yoga System that gradually prepares the body, mind and spirit to reach enlightenment. Join us for a yogic journey that will give you the essential tools to integrate and go deeper into your yoga practice while reaching higher states of consciousness.

Shanti Yoga Ashram is a vibrant blend of ashram, children’s school, and home. The vision for the ashram is to provide a nurturing environment for spiritual seekers to learn, develop, grow, and contribute to their own spiritual growth and the growth of others. It flows with the rhythms of life and is an ideal place to learn the art of acceptance and surrender, which lead to a permanent state of equanimity, the ultimate goal of practicing yoga.
The ashram's homestay setting is surrounded by the splendor of nature. Yogi Prakash and his family welcome guests into their kitchen and their living space. This affords a cozy environment conducive to spiritual practice, where those who stay at the ashram can get a taste of authentic yogic lifestyle along with traditional Nepalese culture.
There are a few private rooms and shared dorm room facilities, available based on current occupancy. There is warm running water for bathing, powered by solar energy, and unlimited fresh drinking water. Electrical outages are part of life in Nepal; however, it is easy to adapt since there is solar energy for heating water and gas or fire for cooking. Wi-Fi and battery-powered lights are offered all day.
