Program Calendar

Join Caitlin Kelly, Philadelphia based yoga teacher, Reiki master, and restoration specialist for a retreat from the cold and winter blues. Immerse yourself in restorative, yin, and yoga nidra throughout the weekend, fully supported by blankets, props, and bolsters. Also included are activities to promote self care in the winter months. We’ll journal, make tea, practice hands on adjustments, and spend the weekend with nothing to do and nowhere to be. Rest and relaxation is your only job.

Friday: Check in is at 4:00 p.m., and we’ll have an introduction session after dinner.

Saturday: Three sessions throughout the day, including a restorative practice and yoga nidra before bed.

Sunday: Closing morning session, lunch and goodbyes.

*Investment: $200 paid to Caitlin via cash, check, or venmo. Please register by February 1st to reserve your space. Payment plans are available if you’d like, and please let me know if funds are a challenge.

*Accommodations are booked through the Himalayan Institute website, and start at $65 per night for a shared room. Vegetarian meal plans are available for $30 per day. There are daily yoga classes led by teachers at the Himalayan Institute, and the Sri Vidya shrine is available for daily meditation.

Please email [email protected] with any questions you may have.

Can’t wait to see you!

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.
