Nepal Inner Yoga Pilgrimage and Reterat
Our Story
In this seven-day Buddhist Yoga Pilgrimage of Kathmandu Valley, we will visit several sites related to Vajrayogini and Vajravarahi and a curated tour of temples relevant to Nyingma and Kagyu tradition, including Dudjom and Shechen monastery, to pay honors to the lineages associated with the yoga practices we will engage in.
In this special Inner Yoga (anuyoga) retreat and pilgrimage we will connect with these sacred sites through a variety of yogic practices.
From Dec. 20-22 we have rented a gompa for a tsalung retreat, and eligible practitioners can participate in an intensive retreat focused on Inner yoga, including instructions that are not taught elsewhere.
