FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We understand choosing a retreat can be a difficult decision. If you are still thinking about choosing Niru Yoga Homestay but have some questions, please check our list of common questions or reach out to us directly so that we can help. 

Is Niru Yoga Homestay appropriate for Beginners or Advanced Yoga?

We believe yoga is for everyone and aim to provide an inclusive and accepting environment for people of any age, ability, and experience to practice.  Our classes are tailor made by providing variations for every pose.  This way all levels can participate in the same class. 

Do I need to bring my own yoga and hiking equipment?

We will provide yoga mats, blocks, and belts for you to practice comfortably in our center.  We also have extra hiking poles you can borrow if you need.  We do suggest, though, that you bring appropriate shoes for walking (hiking sneakers or boots), a water bottle, rain jacket, and some sunscreen. 

How long are the retreats?

We offer a variety of options for your stay.  Our individual yoga retreats are for any length (though we suggest at least 2 nights to get the full experience).  Our specialty retreats are set depending on the topic.  Please see the RETREAT PAGE for more information about the duration. We also offer a new day pass where you can visit and enjoy all we have to offer without staying the night. 

What types of accommodations do you provide?

We provide comfortable rooms with single beds, linens, and ensuite private baths. We offer both private and shared rooms.  If you are coming alone we will usually try to provide you with a private room when available; however you might be assigned a roommate if more guests join during the week.  If you would like to guarantee you have a room to yourself, please book the private room option for the week.
