Divine Yoga was an incredibly welcoming environment. This yoga studio was my first introduction to ground yoga and Ariel yoga. I was referred to this place by a friend and it was one of the best experiences I had during my time in Nepal. The yoga teachers are very knowledgeable and have a deep understanding of yogic philosophy. They work with you individually and within your body’s own limits and help you find your flow. The teachers are patient, kind, and open to you. This place is for anyone who is new to their practice or has years of practice under their belt. The atmosphere excudes such divine energy it lights you up every time that you walk into the room. I recommend this place 100%. You won’t regret your choice life of stepping into this studio.

My experience at Divine Yoga, Thamel was excellent. The studio has a great vibe! Suman, my instructor was very knowledgeable and able to help me understand what my body was supposed to be doing in each pose without disrupting the flow of the class. The class was the perfect mix of challenging and gentle. I felt amazing at the end of the class.

Deb, 55 from Canada

Aerial Yoga Student

I loved my 50 hours of aerial yoga teacher training so much! I didn’t know my body would be able to learn so much within only one week of intense training. Prapti, Suman, and Raj really showed me my strength and motivated me to continue working on my hammock. I definitely fell in love with aerial yoga thanks to their love and dedication. Already looking forward to my next visit to Nepal.
