Prana-samachare sama-darshanam Shiva Sutra 3.22
“The experience of equanimity comes from the even flow of prana.”
—Pandit Rajmani Tigunait

Steady your mind and body in this time of uncertainty! We’ll explore the anatomy of the subtle body, common energy leaks, and various ways to strengthen our energy bodies and empower “digestion” of life experiences. With a deeper understanding of tantric anatomy, any practice of asana, pranayama, and bandhas can balance and stabilize the flow of prana and unfold presence of mind, self-awareness, and meditation. Join us and experience just how rewarding a well-planned practice can be.

Highlights include:
  • Triune brain and the three-bodies model of tantric yoga
  • Tantric anatomy of the subtle body
  • Cultivating the even flow of prana with alignment and activation in asana, bandha, and pranayama practice
  • Refine your practice of pranayamas like ujjayi and bhastrika based on subtle body anatomy
  • Explore the seven “possessors” that block connection to our essence self
  • Common energy leaks based on habits of mind and faulty world view; and how to strengthen the energy body
  • Himalayan Institute meditation method to strengthen the mind
The format:

Each live on-line session includes about an hour of presentation based on tantric and yogic texts, and 15 minutes of questions and discussion. Each week we’ll also have an hour-long live class to incorporate some of the ideas under discussion in the practice of asana, pranayama, and developing inner awareness.

The course includes:
  • Six on-line live sessions
  • Weekly practice session with presenter
  • PDF downloads of course syllabus and lecture notes
  • Links to the Wisdom Library at HimalayanInstitute.org for home practice
  • 30-day free trial membership to the Himalayan Institute
  • On-line access to the course after the live sessions; watch at your convenience

Online sessions will be held weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning Monday April 27, 7:30–8:45pm and ending Wednesday May 13, 7:30–8:45pm.

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.
