200HR RYS "Nature of Being" Yoga Teacher Training, Laos

A 21-Day Immersion in Meditation, Breathwork & Yoga

If there is within you a quiet stirring — a subtle call beyond thought or desire, simply to be — then this sacred invitation is already yours.



This is not a training in the traditional sense.
It is not about achievement, performance, or becoming someone new.
It is a homecoming.
A soft return to the Nature of Being — the stillness that has always lived within you.



Here, you are not asked to improve yourself.
You are invited to see clearly.
To rest in the peace that cannot be earned — because it was never lost.
This is the real yoga.
The unity behind all differences.
The simplicity of being.

A Journey into Stillness, Breath & Presence

Each moment becomes part of the practice.
Each breath, an invitation to come home.

Visit to Nahm Dong Park
As part of our time together, we will visit Nahm Dong Park — a serene eco-reserve nestled in the hills outside Luang Prabang.
There, waterfalls sing softly through the forest, and time slows. We will move in silence, practice together in nature, and reconnect with the simple joy of being alive.


Nature Hike
Explore the surrounding trails at your own pace — no guide needed.
Just step outside, call for Buddy, our friendly trail dog, and follow the paths we’ve lovingly walked and marked.
Let the forest speak to your feet. Let the silence lead the way.


Breathwork Native American Flute Journey
Using principles inspired by the Wim Hof Method, you’ll be gently guided into deep, conscious breathing and intentional breath holds — helping regulate the nervous system, expand awareness, and access natural strength within. Sessions are accompanied by live Native American flute, inviting the breath to dance with sound and silence.


Plant-Based Meals from the Garden
Each day, enjoy nourishing, Eurasian-inspired meals, prepared with fresh, vibrant ingredients harvested from our own organic garden.
No MSG — only food in harmony with the land, made with loving hands and mindful care.



Location
Just beyond Luang Prabang, embraced by forest and sky, Hillside Lodge offers more than a stay—it offers stillness.

This eco-friendly, family-run retreat welcomes only 20 guests into lovingly crafted bungalows, nestled in a lush garden where butterflies dance and silence speaks.

Wander freely with a self-guided map through quiet villages, waterfalls, and rice fields. Or simply be—rest by the pool, savour organic meals, and feel nature’s gentle presence all around.

No hurry. No noise. Just space to reconnect with what truly is.

You are invited simply to rest, to see, to remember.
To meet life — not with resistance, but with grace.

Then the path of the Nature of Being is already unfolding beneath your feet.
And the truth of who you are has never been far.
It is always now.
It is always here.
It is You.
