Why travel with Me?

I feel that traveling to India is more than a journey across the world, it is a journey back to the heart.

For nearly a decade, I have been returning to India, often spending several months at a time immersed in the practice and study of Yoga. Each time I arrive, it feels less like traveling and more like coming home. There is a unique feeling in India where strangers quickly feel like family, and where the ancient wisdom of Yoga continues to live and breathe in everyday life.

I’ve had soulful experiences in yoga worldwide, but India is truly one of the most powerful places in the world to study, practice, and live the teachings of Yoga.

Beyond the practices, India awakens the senses.
The aromas of spices, the vibrant colors, the sacred sounds of mantra, and the warmth of the people create an experience that is both grounding and profoundly inspiring.

This retreat is an invitation to enter a space of practice, community, and inspiration, where the wisdom of Yoga can be experienced not just on the mat, but in the rhythm of everyday life.

  • The retreat begins on February 28th. I encourage you to arrive two full days before the retreat to allow yourself time to settle in, rest, and gently adjust to the time zone.

    If space is available, you may arrange additional nights at Anand Prakash Yoga Ashram, or I would be happy to suggest a few nearby places to stay as alternatives.

    The retreat will conclude on March 10th. If your schedule allows, you may wish to stay a bit longer and explore more of the region — something I recommend. A local friend will also be available to help arrange transportation to the airport or other destinations if needed.
