Program Calendar

Join us in the Poconos for a weekend of mindfulness and relaxation. 

This is meant to be a self-care, self-transformative time!


Learn to awaken, strengthen, and release the body as you discover the subtleness of your mind.  Understand how your body and mind process the stressors of daily living and how to play the waves of your nervous system.

Schedule will include group meditation, Sunrise Yoga to fire the core (and the spirit!), myofascial release during our Deep Release Yoga session, a restorative session with an introduction to yoga nidra, and a farewell hike through the deep woods, with cookies and chai to top off the weekend. There will be plenty of time for self-exploration and even a therapeutic massage, which can be booked ahead of time through the PureRejuv Wellness Center.

This is an opportunity to reinvigorate yourself! A weekend to recognize what inspires you in life and how you can cultivate a strategy to live a happy life, in every moment, with every step you take.

This retreat is open to members and non-members of the Himalayan Institute. No experience in yoga is necessary, as we will be working with all walks of life.

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.
