“I am a mother of twins and in the process of motherhood, I kind of ignored my health completely. I am someone who just can’t swallow pills, hence, taking medicines was real trouble for me. Adding to it, the number of medical expenses I was facing was enormous. One of my friends suggested Yoga. I live in Australia and a few hours of Yoga course is quite expensive here. Fortunately, it is not so in Nepal. Initially, I wasn’t sure how the routine in Panch Sri Yoga Retreat would be. I just gave it a shot and now am very grateful for it. This one month proved to be a complete healing process for me. There was a constant weakness in my body before but because of yoga, some Ayurvedic treatments, and healthy food here, I feel like a new being.”

“I have been ignoring my health for many years due to my busy routine. There came a time when I felt absolutely stuck in life, unable to concentrate on work, struggling with difficult life situations & depression, fighting with a few diseases & surviving on medicines. My emotions were intense and at times uncontrollable. I wasn’t too much into yoga before but decided to give it a shot. The difference I saw between the asanas and regular exercise is that asanas are about being in a position for a considerate amount of time, eventually creating stability & balance. Pranayama followed by asanas brings inner as well as external well-being. There is so much more to yoga than I knew. It is a completely different level of lifestyle. However, exercises work at a very superficial level. Just a month of yoga at Panch Sri Yoga Retreat, and I can see the difference in myself. I have become more grounded, healthy & happier.”

“I was more into meditation than physical activity. Once I got the taste of just sitting and trying to bring my mind to the point of stillness, after this, there was no stopping. By profession, I was a lawyer so I decided to quit. I wanted to do something which would assist me in my sadhana and at the same time be a source of income. Frankly speaking, I thought doing sadhana was enough but when I did one month of yoga, I could see the difference in the quality of my meditation. I started becoming aware of my own mind and bodily limitations. Yoga opens us up. It is a marvelous way of experiencing life. Coming to Panch Sri Yoga Retreat was one of my best decisions.”
