Yoga Home Fall Retreat

Time for YOU!

Yoga Home Fall Retreat
November 20—22, 2026

Fall energy can bring abundance, gratitude, and blessings. In this weekend before we shift into ‘holiday mode’, we encourage you to take time for you — to find all of this inside of you.

Join Kerri and Jen for a weekend ensconced in nature in the beautiful Pocono mountains. We’ll move through both energizing and restorative yoga practices, pause to find stillness in meditation, breathe the freshness of mountain air during hikes, and share stories and chuckles while we enjoy the bountiful meals someone has lovingly prepared for us.

You’ll be encouraged to tap into what YOU need — a nap, time for journaling, a cozy cup of Chai with a warm cookie. Maybe you add a delightful Spa Treatment or take time in reflection in the Sri Vidya Shrine.

We’ll keep bringing you back to what matters most — YOU! This is YOUR time. We’ll chart the course for self-study through the weekend; we can’t wait to see how you tap into the beauty and richness that lives inside of you!

Our Retreat time runs Friday 7pm – Sunday noon, but you’re welcome to come early and stay late to enjoy the Retreat Center.

Retreat Dates: November 20th – November 22nd

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.
