About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

Immerse yourself in a heartfelt journey created especially for yoga teachers—a space for honest conversations, shared growth, and deep, meaningful connection.
Held in the sacred embrace of Rishikesh, this is more than just a retreat: it’s a homecoming to yourself, and to the community your heart has been quietly seeking.

Advanced Yoga Teacher Retreat – Deepen, Connect, Rejuvenate

Join us from January 5–14 2026, for a 10-day retreat designed just for yoga teachers—a space to deepen your practice, reconnect with your purpose, and share in meaningful 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 a variation of advanced asana, hands-on adjustments, mantra meditation, teacher circles, and evening kirtans—guided 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 Teacher Circles—honest, supportive spaces where we talk openly about the challenges, doubts, and joys that come with teaching yoga.This isn’t just another retreat—it’s an opportunity to return to yourself, to refine your craft, and to step back into your role as a teacher with renewed energy and clarity.

If you’re a yoga teacher who’s ever felt a little burnt out, disconnected from your own practice, or simply craving deeper connection—this retreat was made for you. It’s not about learning how to teach better, but about remembering why you teach in the first place. It’s for those who want to slow down, be held in a supportive space, and reconnect with the heart of yoga—through shared stories, meaningful practice, and personal renewal. If that resonates, then this is absolutely for you.
