Yoga Programs in India

Live in dormitories and hotels in Dharamsala for the majority of your stay and participate in daily Tibetan Immersion and Mutual Learning Partnership programs. Students spend some time learning the Tibetan language, music, art, cooking, and philosophy, and get to share cultures too! Since relocating to India, Tibetan refugees have struggled to maintain their culture and identity. The mass movement has caused social and financial instability as transplanted families attempt to re-establish businesses, careers, and cultural harmony. Equally challenging has been the cultural disconnectedness as Tibetans attempt to live and strive in the Indian culture, quite different than their own. While the Tibetan refugee situation is a heated political issue, GoBeyond does not intend to incite political fervor, but rather to help the children and families who are suffering in our world. We seek to share cultures and stories and broaden horizons through educational exchange programs with Tibetan refugees. During your time in Dharamsala, you'll also embark on short excursions including a visit to the Dalai Lama's Temple. Students will meet prominent members of the Tibetan community.
