I recently had the pleasure of attending Bodhidham Yoga School and had an incredible experience with their best yoga teacher. From start to finish, I was impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, and kindness of everyone I encountered at the school. The yoga teacher I worked with was truly exceptional. Their teaching style was clear, insightful, and inspiring. They provided individualized attention and guidance, making sure that each student was comfortable and progressing at their own pace. Their expertise in various yoga styles was evident in every class, and their ability to lead challenging yet accessible sequences was impressive. In addition to the yoga classes themselves, the school provided a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the staff went out of their way to ensure that each student felt comfortable and cared for. I appreciated the sense of community that was fostered among the students, and the opportunities for discussion and reflection outside of class time. I highly recommend Bodhidham Yoga School and their best yoga teacher, Swami Ananda. If you're looking for a transformative yoga experience with knowledgeable, compassionate instructors and a supportive community, there is no other place like this.

I was looking for a nice place to stay in Pokhara and ended up here, recommended by a yoga teacher. I had a wonderful stay, peaceful and inspiring. Good place to learn and rest from busy but nice Pokhara or after a trekking. The school and stay is run by Deepika and swami Ananda with a personal touch. Both are very warm and helpful people, just wanting you to have a good stay meeting your needs. They cook delicious and healthy food and serve nice herbal teas. Every time they cook something different. When I needed something light or needed to leave early for a trekking, they made something especially for me. I didn’t join a specific program but could join the classes I liked. In only a few days I learned a lot new things on meditation and pranayama. Swami Ananda has a lot of knowledge and experience as a teacher in yoga, philosophy, meditation, Pranayama and wellbeing. He’s a fine, motivated teacher and likes to share from the original tradition. I also liked the yoga class by Deepika. I think they differ from other schools by their personal and low key atmosphere. They offer programs but you can also make your own depending on your needs.

Ananda was my YTT trainer and I am delighted to see along with Deepika, Rishi Raj and Ratheesh he has set up Bodhidham Ashram. Ananda really is a joyful person to be around with great humour and curiosity of students' home country backgrounds and culture. When it comes to the classroom his articulate delivery of yoga philosophy was engaging and informative frequently sparking entertaining debate amongst the participants on our course. He also taught pranayama and meditation techniques, at the time these two classes were physically and mentally a real test of endurance for me but this has now paid dividends, thank you for your guidance Ananda. The location of the Ashram at Lakeside Pokhara is really lovely as the area has a great vibe. There are many good cafes and restaurants nearby for your downtime either by the lake shore or the surrounding streets -- I particularly enjoyed paneer mushroom kadai with naan @ Marwadi Restaurant just down the road.

Was Looking for the place for spiritual retreat and guided meditation. Luckily found Bodhidham yoga school and spiritual retreat ashram. where I stayed for a while in a Ashram, I took yoga class, mantra healing session and guided meditation. Swami Ananda was a wonderful master with deep experience in the spiritual field. His teaching are based in scriptures and yogic traditions. I found that they also offer yoga teacher training with authentic yogic teaching. Swami ananda and Deepika are gentle people, who look after the guests like a family member. I highly Recommend the Bodhidham yoga school and spiritual retreat ashram for yoga meditation retreats and yoga teacher training from my personal experience. Those who come to Bodhidham ashram will get the best yoga teaching and yogic experience.

If you are thinking of continuing your yoga or meditation practice in Pokhara, Bodhidham is the place for you! I was lucky enough after asking in several places to enjoy some Yoga and meditation classes with this beautiful family who immediately made me feel part of it. The yoga surprised me, because Deepikaji is unique as her classes, her style and elegance catch you, and after I was able to do a meditation session with Swami I felt even more happy to have chosen them, he cared not only to meditate, but to give me a bit of his wisdom and philosophy and gave me the opportunity to take a bit of his culture and experience to my country. I feel very grateful I wish I had had more time to continue learning from you. Thank you again for all

  • Dallay FF

Came to know about Bodhidham yoga ashram in Pokhara, I was looking for yoga therapy session and personal retreat. Swami Ananda and team of Bodhidham really helped me to overcome my health concern and I was treated like a family member. Everyone in the ashram were warm and welcoming. The place really healed me through the stress and some health concern. I highly recommend Bodhidham, if you are looking for healing yoga retreat with yogic therapy session and guided meditation session. They also arrange extra massage therapy session which also helped me to heal my body. Thank you Bodhidham once again

I am SO happy I decided to do my 200hr yoga teacher training certificate here! Also a great place for drop in yoga or meditation. Bodhidham welcomed me here like family and this place became my home for the 3 weeks I was here. The classes were taught very well, the knowledge I learned was exactly what I hoped for. The food was always delicious, healthy, and made with high quality ingredients. Deepika and Ananda took such good care of me, literally the nicest people we’ve met in our travels. I can’t recommend this place enough! Thank you so much for an incredible and unforgettable experience. We will always come back to visit if we are in Nepal!

  • Prabin Baral

Highly recommend... When I joined a yoga, I had a great experience... I was looking for best place to join yoga session in Pokhara and i had found BHODHIDDHAM, I did 200 hrs TTC at BHODIDHAM YOGA & RETREST ASHRAM. I foundTeaching helpful to improved my mental, physical,& spiritual health, Now I have more confidence then before. I loved every minute of our classes, Some of the poses were honestly pretty challenging in the begining, but thankfully he would tailor the course accordingly. Swami Ananda and his team are very friendly and welcoming. would highly recommend Ananda and the services he offers.

  • Kushal Poudel

Through Bodhidham, I have learned about yoga and spirituality which are based on the foundation of Veda and Patanjali. The classes were based on my own personal knowledge. I was searching for the best and authentic yoga class. I was astonished with the teacher who was trained under the lineage of Himalayan Yogic Tradition. Furthermore, classes were conducted under the foothills of Mount Annapurna which gave me the insights of spiritual wisdom. I am sure that if you are searching for beginner or advanced lesson on yoga and spirituality, this school is where you will find what your soul is seeking.

“I have been doing yoga for about 8 years with him and have been taught by many different teachers, but I can confidently say that He is the one of the best yoga teachers I’ve ever had. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced yogi, he helps you develop your practice in a way that is mindful of your body shape, flexibility and strength. He also runs amazing yoga retreats, which I would highly recommend & it’s always in beautiful locations, and of course calming yoga classes where each and every student learns so much about how they can improve their practice……..thanks Bodhidham Yoga

  • Sapana Baral

Highly Recommended.. I completed 200 hours yoga teacher training class here which has helped me to understand yoga in deeper level. These classes that I took here at Bodhidham have really changed a lot of things in me. I got rid of some health issues and bring balance in my own life and more on a personal level. Master Ananda and Deepika were my YTT trainer and I was really impressed with their teaching Skills. After this class I have more confidence and desire to teach what I’ve learnt here to other people as well.

  • Himalayan Knight

It was something couldn't be described in words on how i felt being part of bodhidham to start my spritual journey. You get what you seek so for me i needed a geniune guru who would guide me to spritual practice. Yoga was just a name to start but what i learned was beyond yoga. Thank you for this amazing guidance Dear swami kewal Amanda Saraswati. Energy hospitality and professional teacher you have all you need. Highly recommend bodhidham about any spritual practice.

Hemos estado en este lugar durante 6 días en Pokhara, y ha sido un buen sitio, porque está muy céntrico de la calle principal y del lago. Además el jardín que tienen es acogedor y nuestra habitación estaba en la parte de abajo. Lo que menos me gustó es el baño, pero calidad precio es muy buena. Además tomé clases de yoga en este mismo lugar donde realizan cursos. Lo recomiendo bastante.

I joined a few drop-in classes and I felt really welcome and learned a lot about life in only a few sessions. Swami Ananda shared his knowledge and wisdom in a very humble and interesting way! Also the whole team of Bodhidham was very kind and I recommend to spend time at Bodhidham school if you are in Pokhara!

  • Yogi Parmeshwor योगी परमेश्वर

Highly recommended. I attended a week of meditation program in Bodhidham with swami Ananda. It was really a transforming journey for me. I really appriciate his teaching style which is pragmatic approach with simplicity. Now and then I go for the follow up program. Which is helping to explore the inner journey. If you are looking for proper guided meditarion and spiritual counselling this is the perfect place to be.

  • Deepika Thakur

Choosing Bodhidham for yoga is the excellent decision. It is very important to have the right guide. And when Swami Anand's guidance is there, everything is blissful. So being a part of Bodhidham I strongly prefer this yoga ashram to each & everyone. Amazing thing is, a 2 minute walk will give you a breathtaking view of Fewa Lake. A mesmerizing view of Macchapuchre mountain from the rooftop.❤❤

  • Sonu Mishra

Highly recommended. Great place to learn yoga, I had a great time there during my retreat. Yogic Teaching and meditation session were really impressive. Swami Ananda is very methodical and his teaching are coming from his long experience into the field. With out second thought I could say, One of the best yoga school and retreat ashram in Nepal.

Highly recommended ! I got an opportunity to join the meditation retreat, at Bodhidham with Swami Ananda. It was really transforming. Retreat program helped me to practice meditation in regular basis. The knowledge shared during the program was with depth of yogic science. It was conveyed with simplicity so everyone could understand and practice well. Thank you Bodhidham and team.

  • corina corina

After having the privilege to attend Anand's philosophy classes, I notably experienced a transformational understanding of what Yoga truly means and how it should be practised in our daily activities. Classes with such a qualified teacher are always a plus for those interested in achieving a different approch than what books can offer. Highly recommended teacher! Thank you, Anand!

  • Frei Wild

Der 3 Tage Yoga Trip mit Swami Ananda war großartig mit klarer Sicht auf den Daulagiri am morgen. Die Yoga Stunden und das vermittelte Wissen waren autentisch traditionell. Swami ist sehr gut ausgebildet und es war genau was ich wollte!

I did the 6:30am drop in Hatha class. It was a good class. Nice to be a part of my teacher’s training. You could tell he was still on his journey. What really stood out to me was how friendly everyone was. Got to enjoy some delicious tea after class and hear stories of travel, told by people from all over the world.

  • Prakash Gurung
