Prana is life energy. It’s literally what keeps you going. Meanwhile, the demands of modern life can leave you feeling depleted. We’ve all felt the vibrancy that comes from taking time away from daily life. And we’ve all felt the need to reset.

Welcome to Prana Rising.

Prana is present in fresh air, fresh food, movement, and breath. Yoga and nature work wonders for your well-being. They restore your Prana. And they create a powerful antidote to the stresses of modern life.

NATURE: You’ll spend three consecutive days in nature. Time in nature has been shown to reduce cortisol levels and refocus our mental activity.

MOVEMENT: Your body is designed to move — not sit at a desk all day. On your mat or on the trails, you’ll move your body dynamically as a remedy for modern life.

HEALTHY FOOD: Food is fuel. You’ll be treated to three fresh, high-fiber vegetarian meals each day made with nutritious, colorful vegetables, grains, fruits, and seasonings so your body can rebuild.

COMMUNITY: We need human connection. Coming together in shared experiences is proven to increase happiness levels.

DISCOVERY: New experiences reshape our brains. You’ll try new things, explore different ideas, and discover what your body can do.

CALM: When you feel at ease, your nervous system heals and rebuilds your body from life’s stresses. The Himalayan Institute is located on 400 acres of private woodland in the Pocono Mountains. A perfect place to unplug and unwind.

We hope you’ll join us for Prana Rising — three days of soothing vinyasa practices, eye-opening hikes, calming pranayama, and restorative yin yoga sessions. And while you focus on your own well-being, we’ll make sure everything else is easy: delicious vegetarian meals, simple lodging options, wide-open spaces to explore, and even optional spa treatments to leave you refreshed and revitalized. Everything is designed so you can unplug and reconnect with yourself!

It’s time to restore your energy through yoga and the healing powers of nature. We’ll see you in the mountains!
