Mandala Yoga Retreat is more than a place to learn yoga—it is the living vision of Guru Kriti, a Nepali woman who transformed her personal healing journey into a lifelong mission to share yoga with the world.
Her journey began in childhood when she overcame severe asthma through yoga, meditation and natural healing under the guidance of her father, a respected Nepali yogi. This early transformation inspired her to dedicate her life to yoga, eventually earning a Master’s Degree in Yoga and deepening her path through years of study and teaching.
With the support of her husband, Biren, a Nepali actor, Kriti established Mandala Yoga Retreat in Chandragiri to fulfil her vision of sharing authentic Himalayan yoga with the world. Today, Biren manages the school, while Kriti leads its yoga programmes alongside her dedicated team of teachers.
As a woman building a yoga school in Nepal, Guru Kriti continues to walk this path with deep dedication, sharing yoga globally and growing this vision step by step. Every person who joins a retreat, training, or healing program becomes part of this journey and directly supports her effort to expand a women-led yoga school rooted in authenticity, discipline, and service.
Today, Mandala Yoga Retreat is more than a school—it is a shared space of awakening, where healing becomes teaching, learning becomes offering, and individual transformation becomes collective growth, gently supporting the unfolding vision of a woman devoted to sharing yoga and healing with the world.
