A Himalayan space for practice, stillness and learning.
Unmani Yoga Retreat is a peaceful mountain sanctuary in Sarangkot, Pokhara, Nepal, offering traditional yoga, meditation, Himalayan sound healing and contemplative practices in a quiet natural setting.
A place to slow down and return to practice.
Unmani Yoga Retreat was created as a space where people can step away from everyday noise and spend meaningful time with yoga, meditation, sound and self-inquiry.
Our approach is rooted in Himalayan and classical yogic traditions while remaining welcoming to people from different backgrounds, levels of experience and cultures.
The retreat is located in the hills of Pokhara, surrounded by mountain air, natural quiet and views toward Phewa Lake and the Annapurna region.

Shudarshan brings together natural health studies, yoga and Himalayan sound practice. His work at Unmani focuses on practical, individualised wellness support within the scope of his training.
Learning from traditions with respect and humility.
Yoga and meditation are not simply techniques at Unmani. We approach them as practices with historical, philosophical and cultural roots.
Our teachers draw from Himalayan and classical yogic traditions while adapting the learning environment responsibly for contemporary retreat guests.
We encourage students to experience the practices directly, ask questions and develop their own understanding rather than accepting claims simply because they come from a teacher.
Practice before promise.
Our emphasis is on sincere practice, observation, awareness and personal experience rather than promises of guaranteed transformation.
Simple practices for deeper presence.
Programs vary by season and schedule. Our approach remains grounded in traditional practice, attentive teaching and a peaceful retreat environment.

Honest communication

Our retreats welcome people with different levels of experience and different reasons for coming. What matters most is a willingness to slow down, participate and explore.
