⫸ AUMLAYA Yoga Retreat ⫷
Yoga That Lifts More Than the Body — It Lifts the Soul
“A Retreat into Silence, Stillness & Self”
At AUMLAYA, yoga is more than an activity — it’s a remembrance.
A remembrance of the breath before thought, the movement before intention, the self before story.
Here, we don’t just teach yoga.
We live it.
We listen to it.
We allow it to move through us — as breath, as energy, as awareness returning home.
Whether you come seeking clarity, healing, or inner peace, this retreat is designed to meet you where you are — and gently guide you to where your soul longs to be.
? The Soul of Our Retreats
Yoga, in its truest form, is not about flexibility — it’s about alignment. Not just of bones and muscles, but of life — your body with breath, your actions with intention, your energy with the rhythm of the cosmos.
In our retreats, you’ll be immersed in an integrated path that balances practice, philosophy, healing, and silence — all within the sacred geography of Nepal, the land where yoga was once lived, not learned.
?️ Retreat Curriculum
Each AUMLAYA retreat is curated to serve your inner journey, your duration of stay, and your personal intention. Whether you stay for 3 days or 2 weeks, you’ll move through a complete arc of awakening — from grounding to rising, purifying to embodying.
✦ Yoga Philosophy (Jnana Yoga)
Philosophy here is not studied — it is lived and felt.
We explore timeless teachings from the Upanishads, Yoga Sutras, and Bhagavad Gita in simple, heart-centered dialogue that helps you reframe life through clarity, joy, and presence.
Topics include:
The nature of consciousness (Atman and Brahman)
The gunas and how they shape our moods and habits
Dharma, Karma, and the soul’s journey
Yogic maps of the mind and ego
✦ Pranayama (Conscious Breathing)
Breath is the bridge between the seen and the unseen.
Through the sacred techniques of pranayama, we begin to direct life-force (prana) consciously — shifting our mental patterns, balancing our nervous system, and awakening dormant energy.
Practices include:
Nadi Shodhana – balancing the lunar/solar channels
Ujjayi – breath of victory and internal strength
Bhramari – sound-based vibration to calm the mind
Kapalabhati & Bhastrika – fire-building breath for detoxification
Sheetali / Sheetkari – cooling, soothing breath for emotional balance
✦ Meditation (Dhyana Yoga)
Meditation is not an escape — it’s a return.
Our sessions guide you into the vast field of awareness through:
Breath awareness (Anapana)
Nada meditation (Listening to inner sound)
Mantra meditation (Chanting & japa)
Trataka (Candle gazing for stillness and focus)
Singing Bowl Healing (Vibrational meditation that stills thought through sound)
✦ Ayurveda (The Science of Life)
Learn to live in tune with the five elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether — which form the foundation of your physical and energetic body.
You’ll receive practical insight on:
Daily routines (Dinacharya) aligned with nature’s cycles
Dosha balancing and personalized lifestyle guidance
Simple home remedies and herbal wisdom
Ayurvedic diet and intuitive eating practices
✦ Shatkarma (Yogic Detox Practices)
Before higher states of awareness can stabilize, the body must be cleansed and balanced.
You’ll be guided through gentle and safe kriyas:
Jal Neti – nasal cleansing with saline water
Trataka – gazing to purify the mind
Kapalabhati – clearing stagnation from the brain region
Nauli (intro level) – abdominal purification
These practices prepare you for deeper pranayama, stillness, and vitality.
?️ Where You’ll Retreat
We host our retreats in carefully chosen, energy-rich locations — places where silence is natural, and the breath feels ancient:
Kathmandu Valley: Thamel (city sanctum), Pharping (Guru caves), Nagarkot (mountain sunrises)
Pokhara Region: Lakeside serenity, Sarangkot skies, Shiva's peace at Pumdikot
Namobuddha & Dhulikhel: Buddhist energy fields with forested silence
Custom Retreats: Dreaming of retreating in Lumbini, Mustang, or Chitwan? We’ll arrange it with love and presence.
