Avita Yoga Retreat at The Himalayan Institute

Himalayan Institute Avita

Healthy Joints, Strong Bones, Peaceful Mind

September 9–13, 2026 | Honesdale, Pennsylvania

Step away from daily demands and join us for five peaceful days at the Himalayan Institute, where you’ll discover a gentler way to move, reconnect with your body, and experience how slowing down can open the door to greater ease.

You don’t need to be flexible, athletic, or experienced with yoga. All you need is a willingness to explore a different way of moving.

Together we’ll explore simple, mindful movements that improve mobility, restore confidence in your body, and support healthy movement for years to come. Rather than forcing change, you’ll learn to listen—to welcome your body’s feedback and discover the healing sensation that invites you in.

Whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for years, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are.

Especially welcoming for adults 55+ and anyone seeking sustainable movement, healthy aging, and meaningful renewal.
