YSI believes that this information should be integrated through years of practice and meditative contemplation. Many of the instructors have completed more than 1,000 days of silent meditation retreat, practicing yoga and synthesizing this knowledge into practical wisdom.
A direct line of transmission of authentic wisdom is very important.
YSI draws material from over 2 million pages of classic Asian texts that have been preserved and digitized by our partners from the Asian Heritage Library (ALL). Together, the teams have undertaken painstaking work on translating, understanding and applying the original yoga texts in order to share them with you in the most understandable and easy-to-use form.
YSI teaches yoga in a different way. When the practice is based on authentic yogic wisdom, it just feels different.

A retreat is a solitude, an escape from everyday life, a vacation for your soul and body in order to understand yourself, to comprehend your inner desires.
Himalayan heart yoga is not just yoga and not just meditation.
This is an ancient system, where physical practice, breathing and kindness are combined into one goal — opening the heart and healing from within.
Unlike other retreats,
This is an ancient system, where physical practice, breathing and kindness are combined into one goal — opening the heart and healing from within.
Unlike other retreats,
- yoga and meditation here are not separate practices, but a single breath.
- You learn to work with the inner energy and thoughts, not just the body.
- The basis of the retreat is the authentic teachings, created during a three—year retreat in Arizona under the guidance of Geshe Michael Roach.
- It is a gentle, accessible and deeply therapeutic format — without religion, without dogma, but with the real power of the yogic tradition.
No. This is a practice of mindfulness and inner balance, not a religious teaching. We do not use any symbols of faith, rituals or dogmas.
There are no worships, obligatory texts, or religious rules.
All attention is focused on one thing only — on breathing, body and mind, in order to regain peace, energy and clarity.

Yes, of course. This retreat was created not for athletic achievements, but to restore the balance of body and mind.
All practices are explained step by step and are suitable for any level of training.
The main thing is not flexibility, but attention and breathing. You will move according to your rhythm, and the teacher will help you adapt the practice to your condition. The important thing here is not the form, but to feel the silence inside.

Yes, of course. The retreat is suitable even for those who have never meditated before.
No experience is required — everything is explained step by step and with the support of a teacher. Sometimes it is the lack of habits that helps you immerse yourself deeper into the process — you perceive the practice with an open mind and a fresh perception. The main thing is not the experience, but the willingness to be present at every moment.

Choose comfortable, light and simple clothes in which the body is comfortable to move and breathe. Loose pants, T-shirts, or shirts with closed shoulders are best.
Avoid wearing clothes that are too short, tight, or transparent — this helps maintain an atmosphere of respect and inner focus during practice.
Yoga begins with respect — for oneself, for space, and for others.
