yoga_himalayan_institute_honesdale.jpg

The Himalayan Institute is a place of peace and tranquility; a place to find oneself through holistic health and to strengthen the body through yoga. With its corporate headquarters located on a 400-acre campus in the Pocono Mountains, it's Yoga Cafe located in Honesdale PA, is virtually in my backyard.

Founded by Swami Rama of the Himalayas, the Himalayan Institute teaches hatha yoga, Ayurveda, integrative medicine, principles of spirituality, and holistic health. The foundation and core of the Himalayan Institute stands on the belief that it is it's members. Their virtues, strengths, and spirit are representative of each member of the Institute.

Spiritual head of the Himalayan Institute, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait is the successor of Sri Swami Rama. He holds two doctorates one from the University of Allahabad in India and the other from the University of Pennsylvania. He contributes to Yoga + Joyful Living Magazine, has authored 14 books and has an ongoing Joyful Living Lecture Tour.
