Himalayan Zen School
This unique space merges ancient Zen traditions, Thai Yoga massage, and the spirit of the Himalayas. The school is located on the sacred banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world.
Meditation, koans, and bodywork practices are guided by a Zen master with a direct lineage from Buddha, Bodhidharma, and Soto Zen masters.
We are the only school that combines Zen and massage as a path to awakening the body and mind. Upon completing the training, students receive international certification and become part of a living tradition.
Heart to heart, mind to mind. Join the tradition that leads from Buddha.

Surfing
When you catch a wave, there is no past and no future — only this moment. The ocean demands balance, awareness, and presence. Every breath, every movement matters.
Surfing is more than sport — it’s meditation in motion. You surrender to the rhythm of the sea, learning to trust, to let go, and to flow with nature. Just like in Zen practice, the wave becomes your teacher.
And when board, body, and ocean move as one — there is no effort, no resistance. Only freedom, joy, and the deep silence within.
Catch the wave, find your Zen

Zen Football
Beach football is more than a game — it’s an ideal practice for body and mind. Quick passes keep your brain sharp — you react in split seconds while body and mind sync without you even noticing.
It’s the kind of game that never gets old. Doesn’t matter if you’re pro or just kicking the ball around — it gets you moving, laughing, and fully present in the moment.
The real secret of Zen Football lies in connection. There are no winners or losers here, only flow. You move together, share the ball, share laughter — and suddenly the game itself becomes a meditation.
Play simple. Play together. Play Zen.

Zen Meditation - Zazen
In modern life, the mind is restless — full of noise, plans, and endless thoughts. Zazen offers a pause. You sit, you breathe, and thoughts drift by like clouds across the sky.
When we stop chasing them, another dimension opens: a vast, quiet awareness that is neither thought nor non-thought. Masters call this the true spirit, always present, just waiting to be seen.
Even in two weeks, this practice can plant a seed. Once you taste this silence, it does not leave you. It grows, and you begin to see that freedom is not a goal — it is the natural state of your own mind.

Excursions
Sri Lanka is pure tropical magic. Imagine the ocean at your doorstep, trains gliding through endless green hills, and jungles alive with sound and color.
Feel the salty breeze on your skin, the sweetness of coconuts, the fragrance of tropical flowers, and the warm spice of cinnamon drifting from the markets.
Elephants, monkeys, turtles, and exotic birds cross your path as if the island itself is welcoming you. Every day is full of discoveries — Buddhist temples, palm-lined beaches, and sunsets that paint the sky in fire. It’s a place that awakens all your senses and makes you feel alive, connected, and free.

There is a man...
...who once held in his palms everything the world could offer, and after gazing at it, let it go.
In his youth, Swami Prem Adeh walked the path of success. By thirty, he had everything commonly considered achievements: houses, cars, and wealth. Yet this world felt like a bright day in the desert—shining but lacking coolness. At some point, he looked inside himself and saw emptiness.
That emptiness called him. He left everything behind and walked away, like a traveler shedding a heavy load before a long journey.

2 years in complete solitude...
Swami spent 15 years in the mountains near a monastery, including 2 years in complete solitude. It was there that he experienced samadhi.
Swami Prem Adeh walked thousands of kilometers on foot—through the forests, mountains, and plains of Europe, India, and Siberia. He slept on bare ground beneath the trees.

Those who know why they sit see how the river flows by itself
One day, he sat by the Ganges and stayed there. For twenty-five years, people saw him sitting by the water, like a tree rooted in silence. Students from around the world found him, as people find water on a hot day.
He has trained over 2000 students, passing on knowledge about Thai Yoga massage, Zen, and koans.
When you sit by the Ganges, close your eyes. You may hear a faint laughter in the distance—light and clear, like a feather touching water.
