Purna Yoga Retreat

I recently enjoyed the most wonderful experience of completing the six day sound healing training at Purna Yoga in Pokhara. I had no expectations, so I was amazed by how luxurious the entire retreat was, everything was perfect. The rooms are clean and very well appointed, with amazing views over the natural surrounds. The food is some of the best vegetarian that I have ever experienced, full of variety and fresh from the kitchen every sitting. And the natural setting, high in the hills, surrounded by natural vegetation, includes spring fed streams that meander through the property, providing a natural calming sound throughout the property. It truly is magnificent. There are three seperate sound areas with a huge assortment of instruments available for use in and out of scheduled classes. The training is very professional and focused on each individuals journey. Yoga, meditation and breathwork are integrated into the daily routine. I can’t speak highly enough of Purna yoga and thank all of the staff for providing such a wonderful experience.

One of the most peaceful and beautiful places I have ever experienced in my life. From the very first contact and booking process to the entire stay, everything was handled with so much love, care, passion, and attention to detail. The retreat is located slightly up in the mountains, surrounded by nature and jungle vibes everywhere — a place where you instantly feel peace within yourself. The meditation sessions, breathwork, sound healing, the amazing people, the beautiful rooms, and the freshly cooked organic food from their own farms made this experience truly unforgettable. What touched me the most was the feeling of being part of a family rather than just staying at a retreat. Every single person made me feel welcome, cared for, and deeply comfortable throughout the entire stay. This experience will always stay in my heart, and I am incredibly grateful for all the love, energy, and dedication the whole team puts into this magical place. Thank you for such an extraordinary experience. 🙏

Truly exceptional experience – highly recommended! We spent 10 days at Purna Yoga Retreat and it was one of the best experiences of our trip. The location is perfect and peaceful on a hillside, yet only 10–15 minutes from Lakeside Pokhara. The property is beautifully maintained, and the rooms are simple but very comfortable. The yoga teachers are outstanding – highly skilled, very detailed in their guidance, and they truly share the philosophy behind the practice. The food is absolutely amazing – fresh, healthy vegetarian meals every day, with many ingredients coming from their own garden. After just a few days, you start to feel deeply relaxed and can fully enjoy the yoga and meditation practices. I would definitely recommend staying at least one week to experience the full effect. A special place for body and mind – we would come back anytime!

AN amazing Gem tucked away on the hillside. This retreat Is a labour of love And a family run retreat. We tremendously enjoyed our retreat with Nishtha Bijlani. Highly recommended. The attention to detail by the founder and the owner, Manohar was very heart warming. And a very special thanks to the very delightful and extremely efficient Shuvechya, who manages the front office and all the operations of the hotel In a seamless manner, making all the guests feel at home. She is absolutely wonderful. And deserves the highest praise. From making amendments to my flight bookings to arranging taxis and attending to any whimsical requirement of any guests, nothing seems impossible for her.

I joined the 21-day Yoga for life Program in Purna yoga retreat and it was truly a wonderful experience. Everything was even better than I expected — the food, the hospitality, and the professionalism of the teachers. They created such a beautiful and safe space, where you can simply be yourself or grow in your own way. I felt very supported throughout my stay and everyone was incredibly kind. A really special place.
