Meditation in Kathmandu, Nepal

Swami Anish Ji

Sound Healing Therapist

Updated October 2026

Jivan Parivartan teaches meditation in three ways. There is a daily morning meditation, live online. There is a 10-day online meditation retreat guided by Maa Nisha Kabir. And there are 1, 3 and 5-day Wellness & Spiritual Retreats at our centre in Tarkeshwor, Kathmandu, from $250. All three suit complete beginners as well as people who already meditate.

The morning meditation runs every day, Monday to Sunday, from 6:00 to 8:00 AM Nepal Time on Zoom or Google Meet. You can join from anywhere with an internet connection and a quiet place to sit. Each day has its own focus: mindfulness on Monday, pranayama on Tuesday, chakra meditation on Wednesday, metta (loving-kindness) on Thursday, mantra on Friday, guided visualisation on Saturday, and silent meditation with questions and answers on Sunday. If you miss a morning, a recording is available. You can pay per session, weekly or monthly, and we share current rates when you get in touch.

Swami Anish Ji, our Sound Healing Therapist, leads the morning sessions. He has a decade of experience and also works on programme development and yoga philosophy at the centre.

The 10-day online meditation retreat gives you ten days in a row of guided practice, long enough to build a habit. Maa Nisha Kabir guides every session live and adjusts the practice to your level. It covers breath awareness and pranayama, mindfulness and periods of silent meditation. It is online only. Start dates, daily timings and fees change from group to group, so ask us for the next one.

Maa Nisha Kabir founded Jivan Parivartan in 2021. She has more than 20 years of practice in Vipassana, Ashtanga Mahayoga, pranayama and silent meditation, including six years of Vipassana and two years alone in a cave in Mustang.

The Wellness & Spiritual Retreats run for 1, 3 or 5 days at the centre, from $250. A day includes gentle morning yoga, a vegetarian breakfast, rest or a nature walk, a stress-management session, lunch, yoga nidra and a short silent meditation, and a closing sound bath. Swami Anish Ji and Maa Nisha Kabir lead the retreats. They are non-residential: most guests stay in Thamel, about 30 minutes away, and we can arrange a hotel there. Airport pickup and drop to your hotel are included.

Meditation also runs through our other programs. Sound healing gives a busy mind something to listen to, which some people find an easier way in. The 200-hour yoga teacher training includes 25 hours of meditation. The Himalayan Luxury Retreat in Mustang has daily meditation, and our corporate wellness programs include meditation guided by Maa Nisha Kabir.
