The
Yoga and Trekking program combines two of Nepal?s most distinct traditions.
Introducing yoga, meditation, painting, singing and dancing courses in to
trekking experience allows for a richer appreciation of the physical and mental
landscape as the body. The combination of these elements creates a more
fulfilling physical exercise while strengthening and opening the mind for
greater relaxation and awareness? all within the beautiful natural environment
provided by the Himalayas. The program is open for all experience levels and
ages and is a unique opportunity for those interested in the strengthening of
both the body and mind.
The benefit of having Yoga Sadhana (spiritual
practice) on trek is that it supports and encourages the deep transformation
processes that occur as a result of being extremely challenged on trek.
