COMO Shambhala Retreat at Uma Paro hosts week-long, guided healing retreats featuring world-renowned yoga teachers and alternative health specialists. COMO Shambhala Retreat at Uma Paro is Bhutan’s first significant holistic health spa. Not only has this once closed country only recently opened up to foreign visitors, but Bhutan is perfectly suited to COMO Shambhala’s way of thinking. It is an ancient Buddhist kingdom where the practice of yoga and meditation forms part of many people’s daily lives. It therefore has a resonance that’s unique. The Retreat’s substantial facilities make use of its inspiring location, with an open-air yoga pavilion overlooking the Paro Valley. Views include pine forest, villages, fields and rivers set into a mountainous enclave. Standing at 2,300 metres on a 38-acre hilltop site, the altitude lowers blood pressure and pulse rates, allowing clients to lose weight more easily and sleep more soundly.
