“You must learn one thing: the world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong. Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive is too small for you.”
― David Whyte
Who Is This Trip For?
Our Trekking & Transformation Retreat is designed for people with any level of yoga and adventure experience. We will take time to adjust to altitude and we will walk slow, but expect some trek days to be up to 6 hours of walking. It’s a good idea to start an exercise regimen a few weeks beforehand if you don’t have one already. Once you sign up for the trek, we’ll provide you with some training suggestions, but know that just your desire to trek will be the most important factor in your journey. And, if you’re not fit at the start, you will be by the end. Our goal in Nepal is to connect as deeply as possible to ourselves and to the breathtaking nature abound. This is not a “luxury yoga retreat,” but we’ve made sure the accommodations outside of the tea house trekking trail are some of the finest, to give you ample rejuvenation opportunity.
