Our programme offers a unique combination of Eastern and Western teaching provided by Himalayan born Ananda and English Instructor Miranda Falconer.

| ‘Retreat to India’ is a 16 day journey that will take you from the bustling Indian metropolis of Delhi into the foothills of the Himalayas, from chaos into serenity. You will stay for a week in the Hindu Pilgrimage town of Rishikesh then continue north for a further week in Dharamasala, home of the Dalai Lama and an area steeped in Tibetan Buddhist culture. |

| about the Yoga... |
The style of yoga practiced and taught by Miranda and Ananda is rooted in the classic repertoire of Hatha yoga from which the disciplines of the popular Ashtanga and Iyengar have developed. Often with a playful approach both gentle flowing yoga and more dynamic yoga will be incorporated within the programme as well as guided visualisations and chakra work to help you connect with the pranic body. If you are new to yoga then your guides will help you to re-discover and re-tune your body by introducing you to this amazing and ancient system of wellbeing. If you already practice yoga, whatever the style and level from beginner to advanced the retreat invites you to explore asanas, breathwork and meditation more deeply.
