Enriching Yoga Retreat in India
Welcome to this deeply enriching and heart opening journey in Rishikesh, India. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas where the sacred Ganga River flows, Rishikesh has been a destination for spiritual seekers for thousands of years. It is a location I first visited in 2015 and love to keep going back to, and it's such an honour and so exciting to be hosting this retreat in this holy town!
