Join Purvi and I for a transformative 7-day Yoga Retreat 17th - 24th October 2026 on the sacred banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, the spiritual heart of India.

 

We will be staying exclusively in a beautiful boutique hotel overlooking Ma Ganga, offering comfort, intimacy, and a deeply held container for practice, reflection, and exploration. 

 

This retreat is inspired by the rich mythology and symbolism of the Hindu gods and goddesses, weaving their timeless stories into our daily practices. Each day we will explore the qualities of deities such as Shiva, Parvati, Ganesha, Garuda, Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Hanuman through asana, mantra, meditation, and myth. 

 

Set against the powerful energy of the Himalayas and the steady, healing flow of the Ganges, this retreat invites you to reconnect with your own divine essence, cultivate inner strength, wisdom, love, and clarity, and deepen your spiritual journey in a truly sacred setting. 

 

Our days will unfold in a balanced rhythm of movement and stillness, including daily yoga and meditation, satsang,, participation in traditional rituals, astrology and excursions to nearby temples and sacred sites—all thoughtfully curated to allow space for both immersion and rest
