About Sadhana Retreats
A Sadhana Retreat at the Himalayan Institute is an opportunity for deep relaxation and rejuvenation while focusing on personal practice. This unique retreat offering provides ample time, space, and privacy to allow the fruits of practice to blossom. In the olden days, yogis would retreat to caves deep in the Himalayas in order to undertake sadhana in solitude. Our Sadhana Retreats aim to give that same opportunity to modern seekers, with extra support and comfort. Two private cottages tucked away in quiet corners of our forested campus provide ideal hermitages for Sadhana Retreat participants.
A Sadhana Retreat is ideal for the committed spiritual seeker, yogi, meditator, and personal retreat alumni who feels called to retreat from their normal life and make practice the organizing principle of their day. Our Sadhana Retreat is an extended personal retreat with more space and privacy for practice. Not intended as a remote workplace, this retreat is specifically for spiritual practitioners.
