The Prama Institute

The Prama Institute is an Asheville, NC yoga center. Our center is a part of a non-profit organization that teaches natural healing methods, including yoga, for a more serene and balanced life. We are also a learning facility for sustainable living, providing educational resources on organic gardening, green construction and other topics related to living an eco-conscious lifestyle. All of this and more makes us one of the most popular yoga retreats in North Carolina.

Our facility provides an ideal environment for healing your body, mind and spirit; with its peaceful surroundings and spectacular views of the Appalachian Mountains that will instantly melt away the stresses of daily life. We are located just 25 miles from Asheville, NC – a charming locale that is believed to have an unusually strong spiritual energy center at its core.
We are open year round, hosting a variety of yoga workshops and yoga retreats on an ongoing basis.

North Carolina yoga retreats are becoming increasingly popular, and you have the option of reserving our retreat center for private use by your organization, empowering you with the flexibility to design a customized holistic retreat or spiritual retreat that meets the specific needs of your group. Our helpful staff members are available to assist you in planning your next private retreat or special event.

The living quarters at The Prama Institute elegantly highlight green and sustainable building practices. The 6,000 square foot dome structures on our campus include 4 dorm rooms that hold a total of 28 custom built bunk style beds and 3 private bedrooms; with 3 additional private bedrooms just a few steps away in an adjacent building.

The air-conditioned dome structure has bamboo floors with passive solar heating, and there’s plenty of interior space for yoga, meditation, dance, musical performances, educational lectures and more. There are also several meeting rooms and a large and handsome outdoor deck that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Our green and spacious architecture and our natural surroundings are some of the chief reasons why The Prama Institute is able to provide one of the most popular yoga retreats North Carolina has to offer.

While there are a number of ways to restore your balance at our retreat, the neighboring environment of Southern Appalachia offers many additional options for you to explore. There are plenty of nearby activities that will enhance The Prama Institute holistic retreat experience including fishing, kayaking or canoeing along the French Broad River; or witnessing the amazing natural beauty of the wildlife found inside The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The energy that radiates from our North Carolina yoga retreat center and the surrounding environment has the power to revitalize your body and transform your spirit to a higher state of being. The Prama Institute offers a wellspring of opportunity to get in touch with your spiritual side in the most intimate way. When it’s time to bring your life in balance, pack lightly and make your way to The Prama Institute, the place for a holistic healing retreat that you will never forget.
