Details
Imagine arriving on Friday evening with the pace of your week still lingering in your body. The responsibilities, the constant planning, the mental lists, and the feeling that you’re always caring for someone else. Then something begins to shift. You settle into a cozy room prepared just for rest. After a nourishing meal, you gather in a softly lit space overlooking the peaceful Himalayan Institute campus as the sun begins to set, where blankets, bolsters, candlelight, and a quiet invitation to rest are waiting for you. Nothing to do. Nowhere to be. Nothing to achieve. Just space to receive. Throughout the weekend, you’ll be guided through gentle restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra meditation, journaling, and reflective practices that invite your nervous system to soften and gently reconnect you with yourself. Between sessions, you’ll have spacious free time to enjoy the beautiful 400-acre campus. You might sit beside the pond, visit the Tea Lounge, schedule a massage or wellness service, explore Moka Origins, reserve an optional private Yoga Nidra session, spend time in nature, read, journal, nap, or simply rest. There is no right way to experience the weekend. You are welcome to participate in as many or as few activities as you choose, allowing yourself to listen to what feels most supportive and nourishing in each moment. Spring Renewal isn’t about becoming a new or improved version of yourself. It’s an invitation to create enough space to hear yourself again, to notice what you may be ready to release, what you want to nurture, and what may already be quietly beginning to grow. Whether you’re completely new to yoga and meditation or have practiced for years, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are. No prior retreat, yoga, or meditation experience is needed. Just come as you are and allow yourself the space to rest, receive, and reconnect. Retreat Tuition Regular Retreat Tuition: $350 Early Bird Tuition: $301 (through January 31, 2027)

Throughout the retreat, you’ll enjoy nourishing vegetarian meals thoughtfully prepared by the Himalayan Institute kitchen team. One of the most restorative parts of retreat life is allowing yourself to simply arrive and be cared for, without needing to plan, cook, clean, or make decisions about what’s for dinner. Meals are designed to support a relaxing retreat experience and include a variety of grains, legumes, vegetables, soups, salads, fresh fruit, homemade breads, and comforting dishes served buffet style. Breakfast typically includes hot cereals, fruit, yogurt, and tea or coffee. Lunch is the main meal of the day and often includes rice, lentil dishes, vegetables, soups, salads, and homemade breads. Dinner is generally lighter, with soups, fresh salads, and simple nourishing options. Guests will also have access to the campus Tea Lounge and Himalayan Café, which offer tea, coffee, chai, and light treats throughout the weekend. Many meals include gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options, though the kitchen may not be able to accommodate all dietary restrictions. Guests with severe allergies are welcome to bring supplemental food items if needed.
