If you are longing to slow down, immerse yourself in peaceful surroundings, and nourish your body and mind through yoga and sound, this retreat is your invitation.
From 2nd to 6th October, we will gather at Vishuddhi Alaya, a serene retreat space nestled near the sacred site of Namo Buddha. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, this tranquil setting offers the perfect environment to reconnect with yourself and step away from the demands of daily life.
Each day will flow with heart-opening yoga, restorative yin, and immersive sound healing sessions designed to calm the nervous system and guide you into deep rest. We will also enjoy mindfulness walks, Ayurvedic massages, and nourishing vegetarian meals prepared with organic, homegrown produce.
Vishuddhi Alaya is more than a venue — it is a peaceful sanctuary where the beauty of nature meets the depth of spiritual practice. This is a space to breathe, reflect, and return home to yourself.
Join us for five days of stillness, connection, and renewal in the gentle embrace of the Nepalese hills.
Experience the peaceful energy of Vishuddhi Alaya, a sanctuary tucked in the hills near Namo Buddha, where simplicity meets soulful comfort. Wake to the sounds of nature, and return to yourself through mindful movement, grounding breathwork, and deeply healing sound journeys.
After a day of inner exploration, rest in thoughtfully designed rooms that reflect the calm of the natural surroundings. Unwind with a gentle massage, sip herbal tea in the gardens, or simply sit in silence with the views that stretch far beyond the valley.
Practice in a yoga shala with heated flooring and views of the forest, breathe in the mountain air, and let the land itself hold space for your healing. This is a retreat for anyone longing to reconnect — not just with themselves, but with something greater.
Let go. Tune in. Reawaken. Your journey starts here.
Whats included:
An incredible experience with a fantastic group. The location was absolutely stunning and the resort offered everything required for a relaxing and invigorating stay.
I loved the yoga, which was varied, spiritual and suitable for participants at all skill levels.
Thank you for this amazing yoga retreat Prana Apana, I look forward to the next one.
I joined one of Danielle’s weekly yoga classes in The Greens and as someone who has tried a few different yoga classes around Dubai, what I LOVED about it was that while the flow was simple (or so I thought until I woke up the next day!), she kept building on the class based on my strength and ability that it also felt challenging at the same time. Danielle also encouraged me to think about a pose I haven’t since forever: a headstand! I love that her style of teaching is so approachable and relatable and she always puts her students’ first in her class. Thank you, Danielle for this beautiful practice and I can’t wait to be back.
Each day, immerse yourself in a variety of yoga practices that cater to all levels, from gentle Hatha to dynamic Vinyasa. Our sessions will focus on mindfulness, breathwork, and alignment, allowing you to deepen your practice while connecting with nature. As you flow through asanas surrounded by breathtaking views, you’ll cultivate inner peace and strength.
Experience the restorative power of sound in our dedicated healing sessions. Utilizing instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, and chimes, we will create a harmonious environment that promotes relaxation and emotional release. These sessions are designed to align your energy centers and enhance your meditation practice, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and balanced.
The Suite Room offers a spacious and a serene stay. Enjoy your own private balcony with mountain or forest views, perfect for sunrise reflections or quiet journaling.
Designed with natural materials and soft tones, it’s a peaceful space to rest, work, or simply be.
The Deluxe Room invites you into simplicity and stillness, with no in-room WiFi (however available in the common areas nearby) – a gentle encouragement for digital detox.
Step out onto your private balcony to breathe in fresh mountain air and enjoy nature’s quiet presence.
