Balance your seven chakras.

This retreat is a structured study of the seven chakras, the energy centres of the traditional yogic and tantric system. It is built around a simple idea: one full day given to each chakra, so you can explore each one properly rather than skimming the whole system in an afternoon.

Each day pairs teaching on a chakra with practice: chakra-focused yoga, pranayama, mantra, meditation, and sound work. It is open to complete beginners and to experienced practitioners who want to study the system in depth.

Why you will love this retreat

  • A full day devoted to each of the seven chakras, studied in real depth

  • Chakra-focused hatha yoga and pranayama every day

  • Mantra, meditation, sound work, and visualisation woven through the week

Retreat Overview

The 8 day Chakra Workshop and Healing Retreat at Bodhidham is a structured study of the seven chakras, the energy centres described in the traditional yogic and tantric system. Held in Ghachowk, near Pokhara, the retreat is built so that one full day is given to each chakra, which allows for genuine depth rather than a quick overview.

Each day combines teaching on a chakra with practice. This includes chakra-focused yoga sequences, pranayama, mantra chanting, sound work, colour visualisation, and meditation, so you study each centre and also work with it directly. The chakra system is presented here as a traditional framework for understanding the body, mind, and emotions, and a lens for self-reflection, rather than as a medical model.

The retreat suits complete beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Enrolment is kept small so each person gets real individual attention, and you leave with a workbook and a set of practices you can continue at home.

What you study and practise

  • Muladhara, the root chakra. Grounding practices and the theme of stability and security.
  • Svadhisthana, the sacral chakra. Practices around creativity, emotion, and flow.
  • Manipura, the solar plexus chakra. Breath work and practices on personal will and self-esteem.
  • Anahata, the heart chakra. Heart-centred yoga and loving-kindness meditation.
  • Vishuddha, the throat chakra. Mantra, chanting, and sound work, with the theme of clear expression.
  • Ajna, the third eye chakra. Trataka (candle gazing), visualisation, and deeper meditation.
  • Sahasrara, the crown chakra. Practices for stillness and expanded awareness.
  • Sound and visualisation work. How mantra, singing bowls, and colour visualisation are used within the chakra system.

I'm going to Bodhidham to complete my 200-hour yoga training. Whether you're looking for a room for the night, a yoga class, or a training program, don't hesitate. A great team, attentive, and eager to offer and share the best possible experience. Quality is their motto. You'll be accompanied for three weeks by two passionate yogis who strive to share their knowledge and kindness. A very comfortable private room, with vegetarian cuisine prepared in-house with local and organic products. Many shared moments. See you soon!

This was a life changing experience to learn and practice yoga on all levels in such a beautiful and authentic setting. The instructors and guides were amazing. Always with kindness and confidence, they led me through my trip in Pokhara. I received constant support and spiritual guidance throughout my entire stay, which made me grow as a person. The food was delicious and everything was made with thought and love. Love and blessings to the beautiful people at Bodhiham Yoga Ashram! I will see you again soon 💚🙏🏻

While staying in Pokhara the Swami invited us to a wonderful ritual, that happend on full moon in Mai 2024. Because of his great energy we took a Yoga class the next day. His teaching was really high quality and thanks to him we started the day full of great energy. We came back to meditate in the evening and I really wished we could stay longer. Highly recommend a visit. It' s really worth it.

Before you book

Frequently asked

Do I need yoga or meditation experience to join?

+
No. The retreat is open to complete beginners and to experienced practitioners. Each day's teaching starts from the basics of that chakra, and the yoga and meditation are guided throughout, so you can follow along whatever your level. Experienced practitioners get value from the depth of studying one chakra at a time.

What exactly is the chakra system, and is this religious?

+
The chakras are energy centres described in the traditional yogic and tantric system, used as a framework for understanding the body, mind, and emotions. This retreat teaches that system and works with it through yoga, mantra, and meditation. It is presented as a traditional teaching and a tool for self-reflection, not as a religion you need to belong to or convert to.

Will this heal a physical or medical condition?

+
No, and we would rather be clear about that. The chakra work, sound sessions, and meditation are genuinely calming and many people find them grounding and insightful, but they are a traditional practice for self-awareness, not a medical treatment. If you have a health condition, please continue to follow your doctor's advice and treat this retreat as something that sits alongside that, not in place of it.

What is a typical day like?

+
Each day focuses on one chakra and pairs teaching with practice: chakra-focused yoga and pranayama in the morning, teaching and practical work through the day, and a workshop in mantra, sound, or visualisation, with evening meditation. The retreat moves through the chakras in order, from the root chakra on the first full day to the crown chakra at the end.

What does the price include?

+
The price covers 7 nights accommodation on the ashram in a shared or private room, three organic vegetarian meals a day, all teaching and practice sessions, a sound healing session, a personal consultation, a chakra workbook, a certificate of completion, and pickup and drop-off in Pokhara. It does not cover international flights or your Nepal visa.
