12 Day Transformational Hatha Yoga Retreat with Cleansing at Pokhara Phewa Lakeside, Nepal
Transformational Hatha Yoga Retreat in Nepal
In yoga, the term transformation refers to a powerful positive change in the physical, mental, emotional and psychological planes. During this course, not only does your body and mind undergo a process of strengthening and transformation, but it works to promote harmony between your Pingala, sun energy (right side), and Ida, moon energy (left side). Hatha yoga itself can be broken down to “Ha” and “Tha” meaning sun and moon. Hatha yoga actively works to balance these two energies, present in everyone, and when combined with posture alignment, breathing techniques and meditation, will help you transform into the most beautiful version of yourself.
