“Had a wonderful week of silent yoga and meditation at Sadhana! The rooms were cosy, the food was clean, fresh and delicious, and I felt well looked after by the team - they were so supportive, warm and caring. The yoga was fantastic, and in combination with the noble silence and the other supportive practices I felt transformed by the end of the week! I would highly recommend 🙏”

“I experienced a 6-day silent yoga retreat at Sadhana Yoga Retreat Centre, and it was far beyond what I expected. Every day, Sharmila, the lovely cook, served fresh, homemade Nepali meals that tasted like heaven — simple, nourishing, and made with so much love. Set on a hill, away from the busy Lakeside area, it creates a peaceful space perfect for going inward... The staff were incredibly kind, warm, and genuine. I practiced with three teachers: the morning teacher, Shree, and the evening teacher, Drishan... Both created an environment that felt not just like a class, but like a shared, meaningful experience. Sadhana is not just a retreat center — it’s a place that stays with you long after you leave 🤍🤍”

“Sadhana Yoga is a wonderful, beautiful place that allows for complete relaxation while also offering the opportunity to learn yoga and meditation. Peace, quiet, birdsong, and stunning views from the terrace—where you can admire all of Pokhara in both good and bad weather—create a truly special atmosphere. Drisham and Shree approach yoga and meditation sessions with great seriousness and professionalism, while also adapting to the level of the participants. The room was cozy with a comfortable bed and hot shower. The food they serve is delicious. I spent four marvellous days there... Highly recommended!”

“Five stars are not enough to rate this retreat center. The moment you step onto the grounds, you enter a place where your perception of reality begins to shift. Thank you to our guru Shree 🙏🏼 for three days of truly exceptional yoga. It already makes me want to come back and stay for a longer retreat. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience authentic yoga.”

“Inspiring place with great retreat packages. As two beginners, we have chosen the 2-night yoga massage option. Drishan, Shree, Asanga and the entire team treated us extraordinarily good, and shared their wisdom and passion ever so gently.”

“Such a soulful place with truly authentic yoga. Guru Shri is such a warm and kind person that we now want to come back and stay for a longer retreat. 🙏✨ It felt peaceful, genuine, and deeply inspiring. Highly recommended if you’re looking for real yoga, not just a class. 🌿🧘♀️ Hi from Kazakhstan!”

“It was my first ever yoga retreat and it was better than I expected. Beautiful environment full of flowers and trees, like a little paradise. Even though I was there alone, everybody was giving me all the time, care, and knowledge as if there was a full class of eager students. I appreciated the way they guided me through many practices, explaining and really understanding how to pass it to others. Food was amazing. Bed was comfortable and refreshed the body. Mudbath was fun and I felt super clean after it. I loved the cleaning of nose. I can 100% recommend this retreat and I am sure to keep at least some parts of it in my everyday life. Namaste, thank you so much.”

“We had a great afternoon yoga session with Shree! He speaks good English and is very accommodating if you are lacking experience or if you have any injuries that may hinder certain poses. The food was also delicious. I'd definitely go back here again!”
