A journey through time and space
IS THIS RETREAT FOR YOU?
This is a perfect opportunity for those who wish to experience life in rural Nepal, with all of it romantic allure, while at the same time indulging in a bit of luxury in one and a half century old traditional Nepalese mansion.

The countryside offers many possibilities for scenic walks, visiting countless temples, shrines, and view points. The Famous Farm is a magical estate, consisting of two 150 years old buildings, both perfectly restored to provide the guests with the full comfort, while the showcasing the aesthetics and the craftsmanship of the past centuries. There is a big luscious garden with plenty of hidden nooks waiting for you to explore and take it all in.

YOGA & MEDITATION
We will practice two times a day on the meadow above the farm, with the view of the valley and the old town. Marija teaches traditional Hatha yoga, with a lot of emphasis on the proper alignment of the body, breath and focus. Apart from asana (posture), we will practice pranayama (yogic breathing), as well as meditation in each class. The classes are organized as workshops, during which we will explore different physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the practice. The retreat is suitable for all levels. Beginners will have the chance to get the taste of yoga and build a strong foundation for their yogic journey. More experienced yogis will deepen their understanding and get some inspiration to further develop their practice.
