Nepal Tourism Board has organized several yoga - meditation retreats receiving sincere advice from the government of Nepal. Yogacharyas, teachers, enthusiasts and peace seekers come from every corner of the glove to participate this program. Spiritual discourse held among world's top yoga masters. They have been confessing the wrong practice and spreading rumor regarding the origin of yoga-meditation. Now, they came with one voice ".. Pious Land Nepal: Origin Place of Yoga- Meditation." Yoga literally means "Union"- union of breathe with the body, union of the mind with the muscles and most importantly union of the self with the divine source. In fact, yoga is for healthy body- healthy mind and healthy soul. Please do not take Yoga as a religion as people have been understanding wrong way. Yoga is a way of living and dying. It teaches to love- laugh and live !! Liberation of our soul is the ultimate goal of Yoga- Meditation. We invite all the yoga lovers with love to join us in the Himalayas of Nepal for spiritual awakening.
