Program Calendar

For over five years, I have been leading invite-only weekend retreats, and I am excited to welcome you to join our warm and dedicated community of city-dwelling yoga practitioners on this, our cherished fall retreat.

If you crave a reset, a spark, or a deep dive into what’s next in your life—this retreat is for you.

We will explore why, when, and how ‘no’ appears in our lives, and how yoga practices can help us move out of our own way to embrace the ‘yes’ that awaits us in our future.

At the heart of all of my retreats is a strong focus on community. The proven formula is simple:

  • We spend time consciously,
  • We engage in discussions about how to live our days with intention, and most importantly…
  • We enliven our spirits through joyful experiences.

This weekend yoga retreat offers a seamless flow between vibrant yoga classes, rejuvenating relaxation sessions, insightful conversations on yoga philosophy, and guided outdoor activities. You’ll find ample opportunities for personal reflection, as well as the chance to forge new friendships that can last long after the weekend ends.

Retreat Center Highlights

Sacred Space
The Sri Vidya Shrine is the spiritual heart of the Himalayan Institute. This sanctuary offers an ideal setting for silent meditation and group spiritual practice, a cornerstone of the Himalayan Tradition for thousands of years. Open to seekers of all backgrounds and traditions, the Shrine provides a serene, sacred space for meditation, quiet reflection, prayer, and contemplation.
Nourishing Meals
Our nutritionally balanced vegetarian meals are thoughtfully prepared to nourish body, mind, and spirit. Each of our three daily meals is designed to be easily digestible and to support a meditative lifestyle. Sharing meals here naturally fosters connection, offering both deep nourishment and a sense of community.
Loving Community
The Himalayan Institute welcomes people from all walks of life. With a blend of short-term guests, long-term visitors, and a vibrant residential community, the atmosphere here is warm, inviting, and rooted in kindness, generosity, and service. It’s a place where friendships form naturally, often becoming the kind of connections that feel like family, and last a lifetime.
Rest in Nature
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Poconos, the Himalayan Institute’s 400-acre campus offers breathtaking views, scenic hiking trails, and quiet spaces for reflection and contemplation. Walking is a favorite activity, whether along our groomed trails or meandering paved roads, inviting both movement and mindful presence in nature.
Conscious Simplicity
At the Himalayan Institute, we embrace simplicity in all aspects of life, from our surroundings to our approach to yoga. By minimizing distractions, we create space to strengthen the inner self and quiet the mind. Guided by authenticity and grounded in philosophy rather than frills, we support a path of meaningful personal growth.
Treat Yourself
Our Himalayan Café serves the Institute’s signature chai, coffee, and homemade cookies and treats on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The 24/7 Tea Lounge offers a variety of herbal teas for anytime enjoyment. On campus, the MOKA Origins Factory is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering handcrafted, ethically sourced chocolate and coffee, with free tours and tastings on Saturdays.
