"Katie my friend and traveling companion and I are so delighted to have found this friendly welcoming place of peace on the outskirts of Pokhara. We are both yoga teachers in Ireland and are always looking to broaden our experience. Here, we were delightfully immersed in so much lovely movement, chant, sacred sound from Tingsha, Singing bowls, Harmonium, and most beautiful of all the gentle voice of Mantra the lead teacher and manager. My knee was 'crocked' and so I unable to actively participate in the yoga class, but everyone was happy for me to sit in. The food, the view over the lake, the welcome, and of course Mantra the beautiful young man who holds the sacredness in this place made this a very special will be back again experience."
