The Mustang region is also known as the ‘lost’, or ‘forbidden’ Kingdom and is one of the most remote area in Nepal. It has remained almost unchanged during the last few centuries. It is a central place for the Buddhist religion, Tibetan culture and traditional life style of its native people. This area is full of sacred places of great natural powers, attracting many pilgrims here for spiritual reasons every year.
There are plenty of unique places within a few hours walking distance like mountain lakes, temples, monasteries and ancient forts. Every day we will travel to different locations. Mornings will be for yoga practice followed by guided meditations in the evenings.
Over the course of 2 weeks we will learn unique sequences of exercises, that are based from traditional Hathha yoga. Developed especially for the prevention and rehabilitation of spinal problems. This system of training is made to slowly create awareness in your daily habits and movements. Helping you to understand what is helpful or unacceptable in relation to your spinal health—directly connecting to your overall wellbeing.
This guided two weeks will give you the time and ability to memorize our exercise sequences so you will be able to continue the practices yourself at home afterwards. Our experienced instructors will be able to professionally and personally advise you on how to adopt your practice to any spinal problems you may have.
Our guide Larissa Matteissen is living in Nepal and studying Buddhism since 2009, she will explaint philosopy and a lot of believes of local people. Tibetan Buddhism is famous for its practical philosophy suitable for daily life. This knowledge, deeply psychological, can help you to understand the nature of your mind giving you guidance on how to bring more happiness into your life and the lives of others.
