Rolf Sovik was arguably one of the greatest yoga teachers of our time. He was such a gift to everyone he encountered, and his memory and teachings will continue to be a blessing 🙏🏻. Wishing peace to all who are deeply grieving.

Dear Friends,

Our beloved friend and teacher, Rolf Sovik, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 29th.

A student and teacher in the Himalayan Tradition for more than 50 years, Rolf touched the lives of thousands with his warmth, clarity, and compassion. To be in Rolf’s presence was to feel an immediate sense of calm.

Rolf met his teacher, Swami Rama, in 1973. In the ensuing years, Swamiji taught him to meditate and opened the way for trips to India, Nepal, and Tibet, which provided opportunities to learn more about meditative traditions. Rolf soon began teaching at the Himalayan Institute, and later, with Swamiji’s encouragement, returned to graduate school for doctoral studies in psychology. Rolf held degrees in philosophy, music, Eastern studies, and clinical psychology.

Rolf’s life was one of service. In 1991, Rolf and his wife, Mary Gail, became co-directors of the Himalayan Institute of Buffalo. For the next 20 years, Rolf taught regular hatha yoga, meditation, and philosophy classes around the world. During this time, he also served as the Spiritual Director for the Himalayan Institute, and continued exploring the teachings of the Himalayan Tradition under the guidance of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait. In 2012, Rolf and Mary Gail relocated to the Institute’s headquarters in Honesdale, where Rolf served as President for 10 years.

Rolf was a gifted lecturer and writer. When expounding on the Yoga Sutra or exploring lessons from his favorite text, the Bhagavad Gita, he inspired students and teachers to refine and expand their personal practice. He is the author of Moving Inward and co-author of Yoga: Mastering the Basics as well as a regular contributor to Yoga International magazine and to the Himalayan Institute's educational platform, HI Online.

The Himalayan Institute is grateful for Rolf’s life of selfless service. He performed his actions skillfully, selflessly, and with love. Rolf’s legacy will live on in his body of work and in the minds and hearts of his students, friends, and loved ones.

The Institute anticipates holding a memorial gathering at its Honesdale Retreat Center later this spring. When details are available, we will share them with our community.

With love and gratitude,
The Faculty, Staff, and Community of the Himalayan Institute

A quick and friendly update about gift certificates at Exhale 💛

You may notice that our gift certificates look a little different. Moving forward, gift certificates for single sessions may list a specific service, while gift certificates for larger amounts or series will be listed by dollar value only.

This is actually how gift certificates have always worked behind the scenes: they’re redeemed for their dollar value, never expire, and can be used for any service or product we offer. Listing dollar amounts (rather than services) helps avoid confusion if pricing changes over time and keeps things simple and flexible for everyone.

If you have an existing gift certificate, nothing changes - it still holds its full original value and can be used just as intended.

As always, you can book appointments and view current pricing via the Mindbody app, at https://www.exhalemainline.com/appointments, or by sending us a DM. And if you ever have questions, we’re always happy to help.

Thanks for being such a thoughtful, supportive community — we’re so glad you’re here 💛

“What a Day at the Retreat Can Feel Like”

One of the most beautiful parts of our Coming Home to Your Body retreat is that the weekend is truly yours.

You can move through it in a way that feels nourishing, spacious, and unrushed.

You might wake up early to watch the sunrise over the Pocono Mountains and join a 7 AM yoga class led by one of the nation’s most respected teachers.

Or you might sleep in, knowing that even if you miss breakfast, there will still be a warm pastry and chai waiting for you at the café.

You can take part in as many of the structured offerings as you’d like, or you can skip a few to simply rest, wander the grounds of the Himalayan Institute, journal, or sit quietly with yourself.

There is no pressure to “do it all.”
There is no right way to be here.

The weekend is designed to feel full, but never rushed – like moving through warm honey, with plenty of space to breathe inside and out.

Gentle yoga.
Guided rest.
Time in nature.
Nourishing meals.
Quiet moments.
Supportive connection.

Just a slower rhythm, and room to listen to what your body needs.

We currently have about 10 spots remaining for our April retreat in the Poconos.

Two opportunities to claim some self-care as we wrap up the week ✨

Join us today (Friday) for
• A relaxing massage with Lynn at 1:00 PM

Whether your body is craving hands-on care, mindful movement, or both, we’d love to welcome you in.

You can book through the Mindbody app, at

or send us a DM to snag your spot.

Hope to see you soon 💛

“This is for you if…”💕

If you’ve been feeling tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body, this may be for you.

This April, I'm hosting a small, heart-centered women’s retreat at the Himalayan Institute in the Poconos called Coming Home to Your Body.

This weekend is for you if:

You’re tired of trying to “fix” your body

Rest feels hard, even when you know you need it

You’re craving softness, not another self-improvement project

You want to feel more grounded and less self-critical

You don’t need to be flexible, spiritual, or “good at self-care.”
You don’t need to change anything about your body to belong here.

The retreat includes gentle yoga, guided rest, journaling, nourishing meals, time in nature, and a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere.

We currently have about 10 spots remaining for April.

Learn more here:

I look forward to filling your cup!

Available times:
Today (Wednesday) at 5:30 PM
Thursday at 4:15 PM or 5:45 PM

If your body has been asking for some extra support, this is a lovely opportunity to listen.
