The Himalayan Institute
by Theresa Conroy
(Philadelphia, PA)
A wonderful, converted convent in Pennsylvania that holds yoga and meditation workshops, Ayurvedic studies (and Pancha Karma) and spiritual studies. The grounds are spectacular, the accommodations are austere, comforting and clean. The food is delicious. The staff and instructors are lovely. A great place to relax, renew, and de-stress.
