What is a Jivan Parivartan corporate wellness retreat?
A Jivan Parivartan corporate wellness retreat is a 1 to 5 day programme for a team of 6 to 40 people. It is built from stress management, yoga, meditation, sound healing and spiritual guidance, and planned with each company around its goals and schedule.
We have worked with teams from banks, NGOs, tech companies and universities. The programme teaches practical ways to manage stress: breathing, movement, rest and attention training, explained in plain language. Every session is open to complete beginners.
Programmes run at our centre in Tarkeshwor, on the north-western edge of the Kathmandu Valley, or at your own venue in the valley. The centre has no rooms yet, so on multi-day programmes the team stays in a hotel and comes to the centre for sessions.
Programmes are led by the centre's own teachers. Maa Nisha Kabir, founder of Jivan Parivartan, guides the meditation and spiritual guidance, and Swami Anish Ji, our Sound Healing Therapist, leads the singing bowl sessions. All our retreats are listed on the yoga retreats in Kathmandu page.
What corporate retreat formats do you offer?
Most programmes start from one of these three formats and are then adjusted to your team. The right one depends on your team size, your dates and whether the team can travel to the centre.

What does the daily programme include?
Every programme uses the same five components: stress management, yoga, meditation, sound healing and spiritual guidance. You choose how much time each one gets. One-to-one Reiki or sound healing sessions can be booked separately.
Stress management and mental relaxation
The base of every programme. Guided techniques help the team release work stress, notice where tension builds during a busy day and build habits they can use back at work.
Yoga and movement
Yoga for flexibility, posture and energy, suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It is useful for the tension that builds up from long hours at a desk. No experience is needed.
Breathwork (pranayama)
Simple breathing techniques the team can use at a desk or before a meeting, taught as part of the stress management and meditation sessions.
Guided meditation
Maa Nisha Kabir guides the meditation sessions, which work on focus, clarity and emotional steadiness. The team also learns short techniques to use during the working day.
Singing bowl sound healing
A singing bowl session with Swami Anish Ji. Most participants find it very relaxing.
Spiritual guidance
Led by Maa Nisha Kabir and her team. It covers self-awareness, self-healing and emotional wellbeing.

Which kinds of teams have you worked with?
We have worked with teams from banks, NGOs, tech companies and universities. Here is how a programme can be shaped for each.
Banks and financial institutions
Programmes can focus on stress management, breathing for focus and short practices that fit into a working day.
NGOs and development organisations
Programmes can give more time to meditation, sound healing and spiritual guidance, so staff can rest.
Technology companies
Programmes can focus on yoga for desk-related tension, rest and time away from screens.
Universities
Programmes for academic and administrative staff, open to complete beginners, with techniques people can keep using on campus.
Who runs the retreat?
Corporate programmes are led by the centre's own teachers. Maa Nisha Kabir guides the meditation and spiritual guidance, and Swami Anish Ji leads the sound healing.
Maa Nisha Kabir
Founder, Swamini & Lead Instructor
Maa Nisha Kabir founded Jivan Parivartan in 2021 after more than 20 years of practice in Vipassana, Ashtanga Mahayoga, pranayama and silent meditation, including two years alone in a cave in Mustang. With corporate groups she guides the meditation and spiritual guidance sessions.
Swami Anish Ji
Sound Healing Therapist
Swami Anish Ji has a decade of experience and trained in singing bowl healing with Maa Nisha Kabir in 2021. He has run more than 25 singing bowl training sessions since, and leads the sound healing sessions in corporate programmes.
More about each teacher is on the teachers and healers page. Anyone who wants to go further after the programme can join our yoga teacher training in Kathmandu.
How does it work for an international team?
International teams are welcome. Airport pickup and drop to your hotel is included, we help arrange hotels in Thamel, and we can cater for vegan, gluten-free and Jain diets with two weeks' notice.
Visas for the team
Most nationalities get a Nepal tourist visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport: USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days or USD 125 for 90 days. Indian citizens need no visa.
Best months to travel
Programmes run all year. Autumn (September to November) and spring are usually the driest months in Kathmandu. The monsoon months (June to August) are wetter.
Language
Sessions are taught in English, Nepali or Hindi, so mixed local and international teams can take part together.
