Kriya Yoga and the Sacred Fire Solstice Retreat | June 2026

Exploring the Sacred Pranayama of Kriya Meditation and the Teachings of Patanjali

June 2026 is a very powerful astrological time for spiritual practice and study. We’ve been fortunate to reserve a retreat space for the peak of the Solstice so we can all come together to practice and learn. Won’t you join us?

Establish Your Connection to The Kriya Yoga Path

Immerse yourself in the stillness of sacred meditation practice. Join us for a four-day Kriya Yoga Meditation and the Sacred Fire Solstice Retreat at the Himalayan Institute, a spiritual retreat center dedicated to yogic practice and study. This special retreat is an opportunity to deepen your connection with the transformative path of Kriya Yoga and the timeless wisdom of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

This retreat will occur during the sacred time of the June solstice, a time to renew one’s sankalpa (spiritual intention) and to deepen sadhana (spiritual discipline), acknowledging the intimate bond between the inner light of awareness and the outer light of the Sun.

This immersive experience is designed to support sincere seekers—whether new or seasoned—who feel called to refine their inner awareness and live with greater clarity and devotion. Through the sacred pranayama of Kriya, daily meditation, energizing movement, and rich group dialogue, you will explore the essence of yoga not just as a practice, but as a way of being.

What You’ll Experience:

• Sacred Breath, Inner Stillness: Begin each day with guided Kriya Yoga and meditation practices to harmonize body, breath, and mind.
• Wisdom and Reflection: Engage in thoughtful study and conversation on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, illuminating the path of inner freedom.

What You’ll Learn:

• Foundational Kriya pranayama to awaken and purify the subtle body
• Tools for mental clarity, stress reduction, and emotional balance
• Meditation practices to deepen concentration and cultivate inner peace
• Yogic lifestyle principles inspired by Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga
• Qi Gong and mindful movement to support breath and energy flow
• Deep teaching into the true essence of Yogic Meditation for the experience of cultivating Samadhi

Kriya Yoga Meditation and the Sacred Fire Solstice Retreat Highlights:

• Daily Kriya Yoga instruction and silent meditation sessions
• Study and discussion of key sutras from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras
• Solstice Fire Ceremony to honor light, renewal, and transformation
• Wholesome vegetarian meals and time for quiet reflection
• Exclusive access to the Sri Vidya Shrine for personal practice
• 400 acres of pristine campus to support peace and contemplation

This retreat is a call to presence. A time to remember the sacred rhythm of the breath, the stillness at the heart of being, and the guidance of inner wisdom. Leave feeling deeply renewed, centered, and ready to carry the light of your practice into daily life.
