Program Calendar

Crisp air swirls. Our planet & lives undergo a definite shift. Autumn’s shortening days are a time for reflection, a time to nourish our inner energy reserves and prepare for the still, dark, time ahead. Winter’s arrival beckons starkly. She directs us to dive within, to tend to and look toward our inner hearth-fires.

But modern society neglects these sacred rhythms. Leading to autumnal agitation and wintry depletion. Many skid annually into the New Year truly exhausted.

Let this year be different! Ebbing Toward Winter is a yoga retreat that invites you to commit to 3 days & nights of self care, where you’ll remember that who you are is deliciously tied to the cycles of this great earth and her seasons!

Evening yoga practice will be a juicy, restorative yoga oasis, offered by Juliana Mitchell. Morning practice will be a zesty, revitalizing Vinyasa Yoga experience, offered by Victoria Greene. Both the morning and evening practice will be lush with breath awareness—setting the inner stage for you to experience the autumn-into-winter journey as a powerful time of healing and self discovery.

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.
