What to expect?
A six-day retreat is a gentle space for those experiencing emotional pain and seeking to feel whole again. If you are facing heartbreak from a breakup, the loss of someone close, financial stress, or a difficult life change, this retreat is created for you. From the moment you arrive, you will feel a sense of calm as the outside world slowly fades away. Kailash Yoga Shram is a place where one can rest, feel, and heal without judgment, pressure, or expectations. Each day begins with soft meditation, breathing exercises, and slow yoga to help release stress and bring peace to your mind. These practices are easy to follow and suitable for everyone.
As the day moves forward, you will experience healing sessions, quiet time, and simple self-reflection that help you better understand your emotions and let go of the heavy feelings stored in your heart. This retreat also gives you space to rest, sit in silence, and connect with nature. You may enjoy peaceful walks, spiritual visits, journaling, heart chakra meditations, and gentle healing practices. Evenings are calm and comforting, with relaxation, sharing circles, or quiet time to settle your emotions.
More than just a retreat, this is a safe, loving environment that supports you in your healing. You will meet people who understand your journey and share the same desire for peace. By the end of six days, you will feel lighter, emotionally stronger, and ready to move forward with a calm mind and an open heart.
Yoga asanas
One or two yoga sessions daily: start your day with a grounding morning Yoga flow to get you feeling alive and ready for whatever comes your way. Then, as the sun sets, join Kailash Yoga Ashram for a gentle practice to help you let go of any stress you might be holding and prepare for a restful night’s sleep.
Meditation
One or two daily outdoor meditation sessions, where you will not only connect with yourself but also with nature to help you heal. Additionally, you will be taught various techniques to quiet your mind and discover your true inner self.
Pranayama
Mornings at Kailash Yoga Ashram will start with simple yet powerful breathing techniques that have a profound, soul-nurturing impact by channelling vital life force. You will also learn how to use your breath as an anchor to stay in the present moment, where life truly unfolds.
Sound healing
Sound healing sessions use gentle vibrations and calming music to relax your mind, release emotional blocks, and bring deep peace to your heart.

Instructors
Rohit
Rohit initially found his way to the practice as a self-taught yogi. Indeed, he received his first book about yoga on his 14th birthday and got particularly interested in how the body and mind work. He began practicing on his own at home for some time. Later, he decided to travel for several years to many regional places such as Haridwar, Varanasi, Gangotri, and Kurukshetra, attending ashrams to deepen his yoga practice and dive into the world of meditation. Only after these years of self-practice and life experience as a real yogi did he realize where his true path leads him.
