About this selection
Dharamsala is seat of the Tibetan Government in Exile and the Dalai Lama's home — Buddhist scholarship, monastery culture, and mountain altitude create an unparalleled meditation environment. Yin yoga in Dharamsala benefits from the culture of slowness that this region embodies. Long-hold passive poses, often held for 3–5 minutes, are complemented by the unhurried pace of life — making this one of the world's best places to deepen a yin practice. Seven days is the most popular retreat length in Dharamsala for good reason — it's enough time to develop a real practice routine, experience the local culture and environment, and return home with something that lasts. The first two days are arrival and settling; the final two are integration. March is one of Dharamsala's best months for retreat — Himachal Pradesh's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in March tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
