Yoga is for Everyone
Yoga is a strengthening and empowering practice that offers something for everybody, regardless of their age or fitness level. Yogi Ragan works hard to create an inclusive space where everyone feels accepted. We express this core belief through our classes, where we welcome all levels from beginner to advanced. By offering different variations we can challenge our guests while providing results that benefit both body and mind regardless of their ability.
OUR STORY
In 2015, I (Yogi Rajan) was practicing yoga, working, and living with the family in Rishikesh, India when our home in Nepal was hit with a large earthquake. It was always my dream to bring the ashram and yoga experience back to Nepal and this catastrophic event provided the perfect opportunity to make my dream a reality. We quickly returned to our village and began rebuilding our home.
Niru Yoga Homestay welcomed its first guests in 2017. We started as a simple homestay that invited guest to experience village life, Nepali culture, and the surrounding nature. At the start, we served our guests from the simple cottage behind our house and taught yoga classes from the rooftop of our old building. Within a year we constructed the bones of the yoga hall we now use. It was humble, but it was our family's commitment to provide warmth and care that made our guests feel at home. Even with the simple things we offered, we were excited to see how many guests from all parts of the world were excited to visit us. With passion, determination, and love we slowly developed into a fully functioning retreat. We soon were able to construct the second floor of the house where our guests currently stay. We built a campfire area, a sauna bath, and more recently a glass patio. I am proud of my family and grateful to all of our guests for helping me make my dream into a reality.
