← All Nepal retreatsAbout this selection
Kathmandu's ancient city culture — Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Swayambhunath — creates a profound context for yoga and meditation practice available nowhere else on earth. Yin yoga in Kathmandu 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. April is one of Kathmandu's best months for retreat — Bagmati Province's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in April tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
