Pokhara Yoga School and Retreat Center

The practical part of the course is really strong. The instructors were very commited and wise. It was even a pleasure to just share space with them. The accommodation and food are honestly quite luxurious, there was so much variety with every meal and the location was perfect between the calmness of the mountains and the hustle and bustle of the city. It was a relaxing and healing experience to spend three weeks in that space. All in all it is a really good course for the beginner level.

I had such an amazing time at Pokhara yoga school and retreat center! The classes were clear, well-structured, I learned a lot every single day. You can tell the teachers truly know what they’re doing and love sharing it.

The environment of the school is serene and inspiring, surrounded by nature and filled with a calm, positive energy. Everyone — from the owners and teachers to the staff — is incredibly polite, kind, and welcoming, making you feel at home from the very first day. The facilities are also spotless and well maintained, which adds greatly to the overall comfort.

Pokhara itself makes everything even more special — beautiful lake, stunning mountain views, and such a peaceful vibe. It’s the ideal spot to slow down, reconnect, and dive deeper into your yoga practice.

Couldn’t recommend this place more — both the school and Pokhara itself stole my heart! 🌿💫

Had a really great experience at this yoga school, they covered all the core, foundation, and basics really well. Excellent and knowledgable teachers. Was able to leave after completing my 200 hours with confidence.

Ich habe mich im Infinity Resort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lehrer können ihr Wissen sehr gut weitergeben und kreieren eine angenehme Atmosphäre.

Das Personal ist super freundlich und erfüllt einem jeden Wunsch.

Natürlich ist es eine anstrengende und intensive Erfahrung. Jedoch sehr empfehlenswert, wenn man sich im Yoga etwas vertiefen möchte.

Vielen Dank für alles!

I was thoroughly impressed with this program. First off the rigor and excellence in the quality of teaching exceeded my expectations. The teachers were outstanding, and their knowledge base, and abilities to explain, their patience and accessibility was great. I learned so much in my 11 days here. I am excited to continue my learning on my own as well as eventually, complete the 200 hours.

The schedule was tough, but it was what it needed to be in order to deliver a solid understanding of the extensive information. It was also nice that there were breaks built in. I especially appreciated how the curriculum managed to go very deep on the most important areas, such as hatha, ashtanga, and pranayama, but also managed to expose the students to lesser known topics such as Yoga Nidra, use of Netti pot and cupping techniques.

The staff tried to add in fun as appropriate as a nice balance to the intense learning, such as a planned outing to the town to celebrate Holi in a big way.

The food was freshly prepared daily with multiple options at each meal. The staff are kind and thoughtful. Binod in particular is a gem, he’s incredibly helpful.

The venue, built into the side of a hill was gorgeous, peaceful. Even had a pool. Walkable to town/cable car.

I’ve done yoga retreats before, this was my first YTT. I would highly recommend it, be aware that with teaching both ashtanga and hatha style yoga simultaneously, there is a high-level of rigor.

Everything was well orchestrated from the beginning to the end. The entire staff of the yoga school are kind and helpful. The yoga teachers were extremely professional and knowledgeable with such positive energies. And Binod is attentive to all details and always available for anything we may need.

The location of the yoga school is a 15 mins walk to the center which is easily done so we were surrounded by silence and nature. The premises are well kept. A little heaven.

A truly amazing experience 🙏🏼

I ended up at Pokhara Yoga School almost by accident but I’m so glad I did! I came away with a much fuller understanding of yoga and skills that I can continue to use for the rest of my life. The course was very detailed, covering meditation, pranayama, Hatha and Ashtanga asanas, proper alignment and how to assist and adjust in classes. The location is also perfect. It is so relaxing, peaceful and the rooms are very clean. The teachers are amazing and the entire staff are so kind. Can’t recommend this school enough.

Los profesores son atentos y muy profesionales. Gracias a esta experiencia he podido mejorar en la práctica del yoga y ahondar en el conocimiento del ser. Puedo decir que la rutina en esta escuela incluyendo las clases, la comida y el descanso han hecho que ahora me sienta en un mayor balance y también sienta más serenidad. Sin duda un destino recomendable. Volvería a hacerlo cien veces.

The teachers, classes and food!

Everything, exceptional training , awesome staff and beautiful setting. A privilege to have been able to attend Pokhara yoga training school.

Absolutely everything.

I have done 100 hours of YTT and I will return in 15 days to do 100 more hours and finish the 200 hours.

Binod is the one who manages the school and helps you with everything you need. The teachers are excellent. The food is excellent, abundant, varied and delicious. The school and all the people who work at the school. The quality of the training: Ashtanga Vinyasa, Hatha, Adjustments, Pranayama, Meditation,... And the family that all students form. If you can, do not hesitate to take your training here.

The school is located in Pokhara, a 20-minute walk from the center, in a very quiet place, surrounded by nature, a space to disconnect from the outside and focus on learning. Normally you have one day off every 5 days of training, and you can go down to the city. The daily training schedule is from 6am to 8pm, with some free hours for study, self-practice and rest.

I am very grateful to the entire team at Pokhara Yoga School and Retreat Center for the good treatment and know-how.

Thank you so much!

- Awesome teachers, you can feel that they teach straight from their heart!

- Quiet and peaceful location, it’s close to nature and takes only 15-20min to town

- Food is awesome, offer vegetarian and vegan options, huge healthy and delicious buffet, free herbal tee and water 24/7

- refreshing pool and clean facilities

- great general atmosphere!

Perfect value for your money with a pool on top! Intence hatha/achtanga training in a beautiful location with very capable and kind instructors. So much knowledge and wisdom to become the best yoga teacher you can be, when you apply yourself! Namaste

A magical place for yoga! I completed my 300 hours training here and I'm very happy with that decision. Great teachers and a very committed staff that is very attentive to the students make this school a wonderful place of silence, peace and learning on all levels.

The vegetarian/vegan cuisine is varied and a delight, although I was missing a vegan milk option for breakfast, but that seems to be generally difficult in Nepal.

The school is located in nature away from the city, which is still within easy walking distance. You can relax very well in the garden, jump into the beautiful and lovingly maintained pool and of course practice yoga with a view of the valley and the lake.

In short: If you are looking for an inspiring place of peace and transformation for your yoga training, you have to come to Pokhara Yoga School. Thanks for everything and to everyone!

Food and teachers

I liked everything about Pokhara yoga center. The teachers are definitely some of the best in the world. The food was delicious and the location was beautiful and peaceful.

I want to thanks again Binod, Ashok, Krishy, Nahia and Chetan for everything. The teachers are amazing, the place super clean, well located and the food was perfect. I recommend this place to anyone who want to learn Yoga in a peaceful place. I will come back one time for a retreat :))

I did my 300H YTT here. The place is amazing, full of beautiful energies with a wonderful view on Fewa Lake. There are a lot of plants and flowers which make the place a really peaceful environment surrounded by nature. It was perfect environment for learning yoga.

The food is really good, the service is perfect, and I loved my room, it was really comfortable (I had a private room).

As for the Yoga Training Program, I learned a lot and I am beyond greatful for the teachers who were really talented and full of knowledge. Ashok and Neha were my main teachers and I learned a lot from them. I don't regret my choice of choosing this school.

Thanks again for this unforgettable experience. See you again

The school is in the middle of a hill and above a village not far from the town, which means we had a great view of the mountains and the lake, and peaceful surroundings. All 4 teachers (Rishiji, Chetanji, Nehaji, and Ashokji) were super knowledgeable, experienced, patient and friendly. I definitely learned more than I expected. The school management team was superb too. Staff was all friendly and sincere. Our needs for accommodation, laundry, food and etc were always met on time with good quality. The room I stayed in was clean, spacious, and had a wonderful view of the Fewa Lake. The school could arrange for room cleaning service upon our request. The food here is way beyond expectation. I noticed that some schools in India had reviews that the food varieties were poor. However, in Pokhara Yoga School, we always got different food every day which were all super delicious and I always ate too much... Sometimes I hoped some food that I liked could repeat more because they were too good...

I have completely this yoga teacher training in Jan. 2023 and am very pleased with the experiences and results. The yoga school is really taking care of their students, regarding almost all the aspects. The staffs are friendly and they can always sense students' needs and provide immediate assistant. The food is amazing, delicious and abundant. So, you should not worry about getting hungry or lacking of nutrition at all (me personally, I had this concern before the training). The location is not very far from the city, in the middle of the mountain, with a beautiful lake view. You can enjoy the sunshine during most of the daytime. The teacher training covered a wide range of topics, from the yoga philosophy, pranayama, poses and techniques, to concepts such as meditation, anatomy and the art of teaching. The teachers were knowledgeable and passionate about their subject and were able to provide clear and helpful guidance throughout the course. Moreover, I appreciate that all the teachers are very punctual according to the schedule. Overall, I have learned a lot from this teacher training and become much more confident of my own yoga practice and also being myself as a yoga teacher. Highly recommended to other students.

The natural environment is the perfect setting for being in Yoga.

The kind host treatment definitely offers you the wish to go back there.

The food is what you wouldn´t mind having back home on a daily basis.

The teachers are well prepared and qualified for a safe yoga journey.

The rooms offer a pleasant stay.

The shared knowledge is immense and not to forget the shared love. One can feel completely safe practicing and being. I really learned a lot and feel like I progressed a lot not only physical but also mental. It was a beautiful experience and I can warmly recommend to anyone:)

Such an amazing place run by beautiful soul. I defenitly highly recommend this place, it has been a wonderful journey filled with plenty of great memories. Thank you

I loved the atmosphere, the peace and quiet. And especially the early morning sunrise yoga to views of the snowcapped Himalayas.. An emotional experience for me that I will never forget....Namaste
