Himalayas Summer School & Trek
The Himalayas represent the origins of Yoga; so we believe that every Yogi should some day visit these spiritual mountains!
To be inspired not just by the majestic Himalayan landscapes, but by the 'soulscapes' of the great Yogis of antiquity, who walked these trails and meditated in these caves, pondering the eternal questions of Self, Life and Death.
Every Summer we host the 5 day 'Himalayan Summer School' training-retreat at a spectacular mountain resort so you immerse into a Spiritual retreat.
Catharsis, Death & Re:Birth through Yoga, Detox, Meditation and Art.
We also invite world-class guest faculty to bring their teachings.
The retreat ends with a Festival of Music, Dance & Meditation in the mountains!
The Himalayan Summer School extends with 2 optional Treks:
the 7-10 day Himalayan Adventure-trek or 2 day Himalayan Explore-trek.
