離開瑜珈中心已經一個禮拜,古老的歌謠仍在我 海裡盤旋 我在雨季期間來到尼泊爾,每天被蟲鳴鳥叫喚醒,伴隨著雨聲與遠方的山嵐繚繞的山丘,masala tea 更有一番風味 我參加了基礎頌缽課與100小時的瑜珈師培課 課程的豐富度 過我的預期 除了鍛鍊瑜珈姿勢與學習頌缽的使用方法之外 更重要的是搭 冥想與呼吸,進一步的昇華自己,更了解自己,得到 在的平靜 來之前我正經歷人生的低潮,一直走不出亂糟糟的思緒,來到這裡終於讓自己靜下來了,非常感激 瑜珈workshop 很有趣,仔細解剖每個動作的細節,徹底了解改運用哪一塊肌肉,該放鬆哪個部位,以及常見會犯的錯誤並改正 以前做瑜珈只是跟著老師擺動作,現在更能聯想到每個動作的目的, 合呼吸,讓每個姿勢的效果更好 哲學課,雖然老師所講的並不一定符合每個人的想法,但是一個很好的契機讓自己重新思考人生的意義,有機會與來自世界各地的同學一起討論也很有趣,聽聽來自不同國家的價值觀念,我也覺得收穫良多 這裡的老師都很年輕,但是非常專業, 度也很成熟和善,英文講的很好,瑜珈指令很 晰,上課講話也很容易理解,來這裡練習英文是額外的bonus! 飲食起 都在這裡,比起一般的瑜珈師培課,更能進 到yogic life style,食物很 淡乾淨,作息規律,也能結交到來自世界各地的朋友,這些都是非得要自己親身來一趟尼泊爾才有的體驗 回來之後,希望能維持每日的冥想與呼吸練習,找到瑜珈與生活的平衡,雖然在尼泊爾只 了不到一個月,但這絕對是一個改變人生的奇幻 程 希望很快的,我能再回來,完成200小時的訓練 namaste🙏

I recently completed the 200-hour YTT at this sacred center in Nepal and it became a profound journey of self-discovery. The serene, sattvic vibe instantly calms the chitta — peaceful space and spiritual atmosphere that feels like a true ashram. Also the vegetation food are truly commendable for body to detox. Guruji’s deep jnana and anubhava shine through every session. With profound wisdom , he guides us toward the real essence of yoga — union of body, mind, and atman. His compassionate teaching turns complex darshan into simple sadhana, helping still the vrittis and awaken inner awareness. The highlight was the philosophy classes and powerful mantras including “So Ham” meditation — that beautiful mahavakya revealing the oneness of individual consciousness with universe, bringing deep shanti and clarity. Highly recommended for anyone seeking not just certification but true antar-yatra. Dhanyavaad Guruji and team for illuminating the path with such grace. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti 🙏

My husband and I tried the 1 day package. It was fantastic! It was busier than we thought but full of knowledge, experience and fun. We experienced everything as mentioned. The location is so nice with the view of the entire little valley and village as well as mountains; The staffs are so friendly; gurus are so professional and flexible; food and tea was very delicious; other students are so lovely! I wish I could spend more time there with them! Thanks from Dave and Iris

I did my YTT 200hrs in 2025 at Nepal Yoga Academy & Retreat. It truly was one of the best and enriching experience I had in my whole life. The teaching was incredibly deep, authentic, and rooted in traditional yogic philosophy. The teachers share their knowledge with so much passion, humility, and wisdom. Beyond just learning asanas, we explored pranayama, meditation, anatomy, philosophy, and the true essence of yoga as a lifestyle. The environment felt peaceful and supportive from day one. The staff and instructors create a warm, almost family-like atmosphere where you feel safe to grow, learn, and challenge yourself. The program is intensive, but in the best possible way, you leave stronger, more confident, and deeply connected to yourself. If you are looking for a genuine and traditional yoga training experience in Nepal, I cannot recommend this academy enough. It was authentic, powerful, and life-changing! Thanks to all the great teachers and Guruji! Also, the food was amazing and always fresh, thanks to the cooking staff 😍

A note on the rating: 5* to the teaching staff 1* to the administration I spent 4 days and 3 nights at this yoga retreat, and my overall impression is mixed. On the positive side, the main teaching staff for retreat guests — three young men — are outstanding. They are very knowledgeable and highly skilled; if you open any textbook on asanas, you will see poses that these teachers can perform with ease. In addition to teaching, they also provide treatments at the spa centre, such as massage and sound healing, and they are excellent at these as well. I had a particularly powerful personal experience with sound healing. The massage was very strong — I felt sore for a couple of days — but after a week I can clearly see the benefits. The teachers are truly great. However, the level of yoga is better suited for continuing or advanced practitioners; beginners may find it challenging. Unfortunately, the management side of the retreat did not perform as well. First, when I arrived, renovations were taking place in the rooms where I was supposed to stay. While they did upgrade me to a better room — which I appreciated — a more transparent approach would have been to inform me in advance about the ongoing work. The upgrade did not protect me from the strong smell of paint, which filled my room day and night. I had to sleep for three nights breathing paint fumes, which was unpleasant and potentially unhealthy. Another guest who arrived after me experienced even more problems, including the smell and a non-working shower. Second, the food lacked variety — mostly rice, potatoes, and some greens. There was generally little to no protein, and I am not sure how one is supposed to build strength in these conditions, especially during a longer stay. Only once were we served a very watery lentil soup. Having visited other retreats, I know this issue can be handled much better. Additionally, talking is not allowed in the dining room. These were some of the quietest and saddest dinners I have experienced, though this may depend on personal preference or beliefs. Finally, I purchased a package that included several Ayurvedic treatments. Because there was no clear schedule indicating when each treatment would take place, I ended up missing some of the treatments despite paying for the full package. Better planning, organization, and scheduling would have easily prevented this — again, an administrative shortcoming. All in all, the excellent teaching staff make it tempting to return, but the other shortcomings make me doubtful that I will.

Almost 2 year ago I’ve spent a few weeks at the Academy for my first 200hrs of yoga teacher training. This experience has completely changed my life. If you’re looking for a training rooted in traditions, this is the place to go. You will learn so much about yoga, the philosophy, but also about yourself. The teachers are ones of the most beautiful humans I had the chance to meet in my life. I enjoy so much this first experience that I decided to came back in October 2025 for the sound healing training that was also so magical. Thank you to all the team of the Academy. Namaste

I truly loved doing my 200H yoga teacher training with Nepal Yoga Academy. The place is spacious, comfortable and has a really positive energy. The vegetarian meals were delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed eating while admiring the beautiful view of the valley. Everyone who is working there is genuinely kind and helpful, from cleaners to kitchen staff and of course yoga teachers. We were only 7 students for 5 teachers including Guruji, each teacher was focused on their own part of the training and has a different teaching approach which was very complementary. I really enjoyed being in a small group, we all got along very well and became good friends. We supported each other throughout the month, especially towards the end when preparing for the final exams. On our days off, we went exploring the surrounding area, which strengthened the group bond. The overall experience was incredible and deeply transformative. I have learned so much about yoga practises and philosophy of course but also about myself, by challenging my limits , opening my mind wider and connect with other beautiful souls.
