Hariharalaya Yogo & Meditation Retreat

A six-day retreat in a purpose-built tropical setting gives yoga and meditation room to become part of everyday life, not just a holiday routine. Hariharalaya describes its approach as a method of presence and aliveness, drawing on ancient wisdom while making the program accessible to different ages, body types, and experience levels. The center sits among the shared spaces and homes of a traditional Cambodian village near Siem Reap, creating a warm contrast between quiet practice and village life. Days include yoga and meditation, with guidance from Lokta, and meals are vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free. A pool, spa, fitness center, and dedicated yoga studio add options for time between practices. The retreat is paid, with prices starting at USD 1,190. It suits travelers who want a structured reset and a practical introduction to mindful living, while still having the comforts of a dedicated retreat campus.

Setting

The practice

Hariharalaya combines yoga and meditation within its own approach, called the Method of Presence and Aliveness. For newcomers, the retreat is presented as accessible across experience levels and body types, with practices intended to connect mindful attention with daily life. Exact session formats can vary, so ask the center what to expect for your dates.
