Budget Yoga & Wellness Escape in the Himalayas of Pokhara, Nepal

Mukti Yoga Retreat sits in a quiet pocket of Pokhara, close to nature with views towards Phewa Lake and the Annapurna range. The retreat combines a full daily schedule of yoga and meditation with plenty of time to relax in the garden. Days follow a rhythm: morning yoga and cleansing, a 30-minute nature walk, pranayama and meditation, breakfast, steam bath, and lunch. Afternoons are for karma yoga, games, and kirtan chanting before an evening restorative class, dinner, and candlelight meditation. The classes are led by Yoga Alliance certified instructors Prakriti and Bipin, who focus on making yoga accessible and building your confidence and flexibility. What makes Mukti feel unique is the warmth of the family that runs it. Guests frequently mention feeling like part of the family by the end of the week, and many return. The retreat emphasizes that yoga without meditation is just exercise, so you'll also learn practical meditation and pranayama tools that are easy to continue at home. Pokhara itself is a major travel hub, so it's worth adding days before or after to hike in the hills or just sit by the lake.
