Sunshine Resort Pokhara
Practice with the Himalayas in view
Pokhara’s mountain light and broad Himalayan horizons set the scene at Sunshine Resort, a base for yoga retreats and teacher trainings. The resort sits near Phewa Lake, with views toward the Annapurna Range that bring a striking sense of scale to time spent here. Retreats are framed around yoga, meditation, and personal well-being, making the setting as much a part of the experience as the sessions themselves. The mood is suited to stepping back from everyday routines, with room for practice as well as quiet time in the foothills. Previous experience is not essential for visitors joining a retreat, though the format and level of guidance can differ from one program to another. Sunshine Resort is a paid stay, and retreat fees and inclusions depend on the dates and program. Check directly with the resort for current options, room details, and the shape of a particular retreat.
