Program CalendarExplore your personal path to fulfillment through the framework of yoga and your relationship to money. Applying the tools of yoga to your relationship with prosperity can reveal the deep mental conditioning that shapes every aspect of your life. What stories are you telling yourself about abundance and wealth? What early life experiences and cultural expectations are influencing how you use your time and energy, and how you use your money and other material resources? How do you want to use your energy? Probing our unexamined beliefs around resource management can reveal the unconscious habits of mind that control our energy. Explore the hidden demons of entitlement and scarcity (not having enough), and learn how to turn these demons into allies and guides, using the tools of yoga to propel you toward true fulfillment and lasting happiness.
- Use the yoga model of the mind to decipher your intentions and motivations, and uncover resistance
- Assess your maturity level with respect to money habits
- Get in touch with your intuition with yoga practices to quiet the mind and body
- Adjust your attitudes and behavior, and transform your relationship to yourself and others with techniques from yoga’s contemplative practices

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.

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.
