Our Story
A Sanctuary on the Edge of the Forest
Jivan Parivartan, “life transformation”, began in 2021, when Maa Nisha Kabir opened the doors of a small healing room in Tarkeshwor, on the northwestern edge of the Kathmandu valley. What began as a place for individual healing sessions grew, year by year, into a full wellness center: a place of traditional yoga, a retreat home, and a training ground for healers and teachers from more than eleven countries.
Five years and more than twenty thousand sessions later, the heart of the work is unchanged. People arrive carrying stress, grief, exhaustion, or simply a question, and are met with practice, silence, good food, and honest guidance.
- Traditional 200 & 500 hour teacher training
- 20,400+ healing sessions delivered since 2021
- 500+ retreats conducted
- Guests from 11+ countries
The Center
Quiet Enough to Hear Yourself
Our center sits at Tarkeshwor-5, on the slopes below Nagarjun forest, thirty minutes and a world away from Thamel. Mornings begin with birdsong and forest air; evenings end with satsang under a quiet sky.
The center holds a practice hall, a dedicated healing room, a sattvic kitchen serving three vegetarian meals daily, and simple, comfortable rooms for residential guests, shared, private, and deluxe.
It is an ashram, not a resort: clean, warm, disciplined, and deliberately free of distraction. Guests tell us the schedule feels demanding for two days, and then like the most natural thing in the world.
What We Stand For
Three commitments that have not changed since the first session in 2021.
Authenticity
We teach what has been practiced here for generations, adapted for the modern seeker, never diluted.
Personal Attention
Small cohorts, teachers who know your name and your knees, and guidance that meets you where you are.
Honest Care
We recommend what serves you, sometimes that is a session, sometimes it is rest, sometimes it is neither.
