Sambodhi Yoga Home

Everything great

I was made welcome from the moment I arrived at the retreat. The environment was lovely and relaxing and I was able to participate in a variety of different yoga classes and experienced sound healing and reiki. The hike was an amazing day to take in the environment and views. It was a very special time. VJ and Sajani were both excellent teachers and I would highly recommend this retreat.

I really love the environment around the yoga center, especially the bamboo-built classroom! During our free time, my classmates and I would hang out in the classroom, chatting, studying, or just daydreaming. Every day was so fulfilling, whether it was attending classes, having meals, or interacting with everyone, I always felt happy. It's only been a few days since I finished the training, and I'm already missing the experience. Finally, I want to thank all the teachers for their help, guidance, and support. I hope I can come back here again in the future. Wishing Sambodhi Yoga Home all the best!

I had a really great time at the retreat. The other guests were very sweet and welcoming, aswell as the instructers.

I was at the yoga stay during the Nepal protests, and they were very kind at making us feel safe and helped me with transportation and logistics. Further, the airport had closed but I could stay another night. I really appreciated the help during this time, as I know it must have been difficult for them aswell.

With that being said, I can definitely recommend the retreat. We did yoga, beautiful hiking in the mountains and meditation. There was also a great philosophy class where we were introduced to eastern philosophy which I really enjoyed.

Thank you for all the help and a wonderful stay!

Ik had last van mijn rug waardoor ik niet mee kon doen aan de normale yoga. Sajani heeft me apart les gegeven met oefeningen die ik wel kon doen en me reiki gegeven

Before coming to Sambodhi Yoga Home, I had practiced yoga in several countries, but my what I only know about yoga is "it makes my body healthier." I have been staying here for 24 days, and I feel so lucky to have come here. Vijay is incredibly knowledgeable, and I've learned so much from him. I've always been anxious, my life is filled with many things, I have to focus on my studies, my exams, and my master's thesis. I always felt like I didn't have time to do anything else. At the same time, I worried about my future, and sometimes regretted some of the choices I made in the past.

Here, I found inner peace and realized that yoga is not just about the poses, but also about meditation and your attitude towards life. After studying here, I am no longer anxious because I have learned that anxiety is useless. The past cannot be changed, and my life, like the breath in yoga, only exists in the present and cannot cross into the future. The future is unknown, but with proper planning, we can find our own path step by step.

I highly recommend everyone to come to Sambodhi Yoga Home and find your own inner peace and way of life.

Thanks Vijay and Sajani again, such a lovely family and I totally feel warm there. 🙏 Namaste~

I feel so much gratitude for Sajani and Vijay! They always made sure that I was comfortable but at the same time, also encouraged me to go out of my comfort zone in order for me to grow as a person. I was able to learn so much about yogic philosophy as well as the significance of each asana, chanting and meditation. A side from all this, not only was I blessed with that wisdom but also with the feeling of another home - Sajani and Vijay offered us to really explore the country by hiking, discovering traditions, listening to their interesting stories and dancing to Daler Mehndi, haha! It was so much fun. And also very relaxing, enjoying fresh and tasty nepali food under trees or delicious Masala tea on the balcony and daily singing bowl healings.

I recommend this place with all of my heart and wish everyone who wants to get yoga certificate (or even Reiki) to fully involve and emerge themselves in the beauty of Sambodhi Yoga Home.

Thank you, I love and appreciate you guys so much!

There are too many things I like about Sambhodhi Yoga. The first thing is the people. Sarjani treated me like her own family. Everyday she made fresh food for us. She’s very caring. Always asked me if I need anything. Apart from her cooking, I really enjoy taking her class. She’s very patient, gentle & clear with instructions. I feel like I’m improving everyday. Aside from cooking & yoga teaching, she also gave us singing bowl sessions. She’s a superwoman!

Second comes the environment, the location is tucked away from the dusty Kathmandu city. It’s a perfect place to cleanse your body & soul. Our room is cleaned every week.

Lastly, the teaching. We were given right amount of practice & rest time. Both Vijay & Sarjani are very professional. I learnt a lot from them.

Vijay and Sajane are wonderful and they do everything with love and care! I was on a 4 day yoga and hiking retreat program and I can't even express how good and meaningful was the time spent in Sambodhi Yoga Home. 3 yoga practices every day, relaxation sessions with singing bows, philosophical talks about yoga, excellent food, multiple servings of tea during the day. And we did a very enjoyable hike in the nearby National park. For me was an excellent choice after 15 days of strenuous hiking in Himalayas and I would definitely come back. Highly recommend!

This retreat was super nice! I really appreciate to be reconnected with the nature and with myself. Vijay and Sajani were the best with us!

I recommend 100%

Sanjani’s sound bath was excellent and she has true skills and healing in this regard.

Her 7.30 am yoga started with jogging and star jumps which was a bit strange especially for early morning practice.

I’d prefer gentle yoga starting on the floor and coming to standing poses.

The chants were ok but not translated to enhance understanding of participants.

Everyone is friendly. Anju worked long hours and that concerned me. From making breakfast to cleaning up after evening meal.

VJ kindly took me to the Buddhist stupa, and the Naga Narayan temple nearby. I did not go to the forest as I have a bad cough.

Ma chambre et la terrasse. Le yoga hatha très biens. Les soins bols healing les professeurs professionnels et vraiment gentils

It was a very familiar place to reflect, do yoga, meet with wonderful people, connect with the nature and feel like in a sweet home. I didn't expected spend time in that wonderful environment and was awesome.

Vijay und Sajani haben einen wunderbaren Ort geschaffen um zu sich zu kommen und zu entspannen. Der Retreat befindet in einem ruhigen Randbezirk von Kathmandu, nicht weit davon ist der Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. Das Haus ist umgeben von Bäumen und Pflanzen mit Blick auf die Bege. Es gibt eine Feuerstelle und einen Pavillon in dem die täglichen Philosophiestunden stattfinden. Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet und werden regelmäßig gereinigt. Vijays und Sajanis Wissen ist fundiert und gründen auf einem großen Erfahrungsschatz. Die Yagastunden sind intensiv und decken ein großes Spektrum ab. Es gibt aber auch den Raum um Spass zu haben oder einen kleinen Ausflug zum nahegelegenen Cafe zu machen.

Ausnahmslos zu empfehlen! Ich komme wieder :)

For someone who likes a small group class and wants to do a yoga retreat or yoga teacher training nearby a national park.

It is an all-around program with dynamic yoga (Ashtanga yoga) in the morning and relaxing yoga in the evening (Hatha yoga).

In the afternoon there is a philosophy class and meditation with Nidra yoga or soundbowl bath. Really relaxing!

There is a lot to learn and to experience every single day. You can discuss in advance how intensive or slower pace you want. Bijay and Sajani are flexible and customize the program to your needs. Whether you are a beginner who has never done yoga or an advanced person who has been doing yoga for years, like me, you can learn a lot from it. Enjoyed it immensely.

Vijay and Sajani thank you for the hospitality and taking care of me like a family member! Warm and with a lots of love during my yoga teacher training of a month <3.

Tip 1) Take mosquito spray with you. Yoga studio is located in the middle of nature between birds and trees. So also mosquitoes.

Tip 2) Take enough warm clothes with you during the winter months. 18 degrees sounds warm, but it feels colder at the bottom of the mountain. So bring enough sweaters with you, you will need is!

Very Nice place for a break from the city, very relaxing and calming, I booked the 4 day retreat but ended up staying 2 more days, if you had any comments they will adjust as best as they can, the food was amazing, every breakfast was a different traditional dish.

I joint the yoga teacher training 200hrs in October 2023. Thank you so much for the teaching and VJ and his teams is very knowledgeable with not only different yoga post but also the philosophy of Hindi, Buddhism, yoga theory ect. We also went to hiking twice during my training and visit the temple. We share the emotions and taking meaning of life during the practice and meditation. The veggie food is so good and not spicy and healthier than the restaurant that I test in Kathmandu. I really like the homemade masala milk tea!!!! It was such a wonderful spiritual journey and feels like a family with many love. I love you and hope to see you soon!!!!

I had the most wonderful time with those two amazing people!

The house situated away from polluted Kathamandu,surrounded by the mountains allows you to breathe and begin a truly transformational inner journey with great guides like Vijay and Sajani.Ifelt like part of the family from the very beginning. My room and bed was huge,beyond my expectations.They really make sure you feel comfortable and home. Having many food allergies,they were very flexible and I got all the best foods, mostly growing in their back garden! I always got more food if I only wanted :D

With the daily routine the classes were various and individually taken, so I felt like I made progress every day both with meditation and yoga. I also received most powerful reiki healing from Sajani. Talking with them both,being near and practicing yoga and meditation help me realise my next step in life,which I am very greatful for. On the 2nd day we had lovely trip to monastery on the hill in the national park. Having best lunch and a yoga class facing the mountains in those sacred grounds made me really sink into my own experience. This retreat is both spiritual and cultural, you wouldnt find a more authentic experience than spending time with those wonderdul beings in Nepal.I can't find words to help them enough and I am sure we meet again.

And cherry on the top- Krishna's food! Mother of Sajani is the culinary master who wouldn't let you starve. Thank you my friends ♡
