About this Retreat
Retreat Organizer & Lead Facilitator
Like many, my yoga journey started as an on-and-off practice—until one day, it turned ON for good. I still remember my first class, sitting there thinking, “What is this?”
And now, six years into teaching, I still find myself asking the same question. Yoga is a continuous exploration, a path that keeps unfolding.
Through guiding teacher circles, I’ve come to understand the challenges of visibility and self-trust that many yoga teachers face. This space is more than just a place to refine your practice—it’s a community, a support system, and a space for growth. Together, we cultivate courage, share wisdom, and lift each other up, strengthening our voices as teachers in the world.
Retreat Co-Creator & Senior Teacher
I have spent many years guiding yoga teacher trainings and retreats, sharing my passion for philosophy, pranayama, and meditation. As the founder of Rishikesh Yog Nirvana, I have had the privilege of mentoring countless yoga teachers, helping them deepen their understanding and step into their roles with confidence. Storytelling is at the heart of my teaching, bringing ancient wisdom to life in a way that resonates beyond the classroom.
My hope is to inspire others to use their knowledge and voice with authenticity, both in their teaching and in everyday life. Through connection, self-inquiry, and dedication, we continue to grow—not just as teachers, but as lifelong students of yoga.
Within ten years Neeraj Multani, has acquired extensive knowledge in physical practice from which his students benefit significantly every day.
Through intensive self-practice, teaching multiple hours in Rishikesh, Vietnam, and international, his yoga studies at the Jairam Ashram Rishikesh in cooperation with the Uttarakhand Sanskrit University, he became a yoga master.
He teaches all levels, but is known for his challenging body opening classes that take his students miles forward. Students provide from the variety of yoga classes, from beginners to advanced practitioners. You will grow with him for sure.

Advanced Yoga & Mindful Practice Retreat – Deepen, Connect, Rejuvenate
Join us from January 5–14, 2026, for a 10-day retreat designed for those committed to their practice—whether you guide others as a teacher, or walk the path as an experienced practitioner. This is a space to deepen your practice, explore advanced techniques, reconnect with your purpose, and share in a heart-centered community.
Set in the heart of Rishikesh—the birthplace of yoga—this retreat offers time and space to reflect, recharge, and grow both on and off the mat. Each day includes guided asana, hands-on assists, mantra meditation, evening kirtans, and mindful movement practices—led by experienced facilitators and guest teachers. You’ll also have the chance to experience Ayurvedic treatments, sound healing, local rituals, and temple visits.
One of the heartbeats of this retreat is our Circles of Connection—open, honest, and supportive spaces where we explore challenges, doubts, and joys. While some discussions may center on teaching, they are equally enriching for facilitators of any practice—yoga, breathwork, meditation, coaching, massage, or other healing arts.
This retreat isn’t about performing or proving skill—it’s about returning to yourself, tending to your inner light, and reconnecting with the heart of your practice. Whether you’re a teacher seeking renewal or a dedicated practitioner wanting immersive guidance, this is a space to slow down, be held, and remember why you walk this path.
