What is a retreat?
A retreat is a getting away from everyday life, a holiday for your soul and body to understand yourself, to understand your inner desires in the most beautiful places of the planet.

  • Free yourself from the rush of daily thoughts
  • Dive into the practice
  • Realize your true desires
Why "Lady Niguma"?
  • Lady Niguma was a great yoga teacher who dedicated her life to serving others.
  • She lived approximately 1,000 years ago in India. The yoga complex she developed and taught is of particular importance because it is authentic and the oldest yoga complex that has been documented in writing.
  • This complex has been passed down by word of mouth to the present day through a pure line of transmission.
  • Manuscripts documenting the yoga have been found by Geshe Michael Roach and John Brady in St. Petersburg and Mongolia and translated. These manuscripts are very fascinating because in them she describes every negative emotion that exists in the human heart and prescribes specific yoga poses for it - this is what makes Lady Niguma's yoga unique.
  • In her treatise, this yogini describes in detail the asana sequence, explains why a particular asana is performed, and how each twist or bend affects the purification of the heart, body and mind.
  • Lady Niguma has mastered the technique of moving prana through her channels to create her own, perfect perception of the world.

Why study at the Yoga Studies Institute?
  • YSI teaches you how to do yoga in a different way. When a practice is grounded in authentic yogic wisdom, it simply feels different.
  • YSI draws material from over 2 million pages of classic Asian texts that have been preserved and digitized by our partners at the Asian Legacy Library (ALL). Together, the teams have undertaken the painstaking work of translating, understanding and applying the original yogic texts to share them with you in the most understandable and easy-to-apply form.
  • A direct line of transmission of authentic wisdom is very important.
  • YSI believe that this information must be integrated through years of practice and meditative contemplation. Many of the instructors have completed over 1000 days of silent meditative retreats, practicing yoga and synthesizing this knowledge into practical wisdom.
We will share with you the practices and knowledge
that help us stay strong, energized and whole ourselves

    His original path to yoga was through the path of suffering. He came to the practice to rid his body of excruciating physical pain that had haunted him for years. Fortunately, he sought and found teachers who helped him begin the process of realizing the roots of his discomfort. When he took up a daily practice of the Lady Niguma series three years ago, he discovered the power within himself for the first time in his life.

    As a yoga teacher, he is committed to helping his students connect with their subtle inner world. When he's not on his mat, his hands in the earth, he's growing edible and medicinal plants or actively creating a new world using permaculture principles.
