We are all familiar with Yoga and know how it makes us feel, but how often have we thought about it origins; where, when, how and why it was synthesised?

The Himalayan retreat takes us to the root of this ancient and vast system of wellbeing and self-realisation as we uncover our own deeper nature while travelling through the magnificent Himalayan terrain.

Through this immersive 10-day retreat, we will:

• Dive deeper into our inner selves through the understanding and practice of Yoga, Meditation and Pranayama (yogic breath work)
• Explore Mindful living through the contexts of the Hindu and Buddhist philosophies
• Discover the Vedas, the world’s oldest text on the nature of our universe and its significance in our modern lives
• Gain a deeper connection to our physical health with Ayurveda- the Indian science of health and wellness
• Hike along the Himalayan region in a beautiful trek crossing through rivers, waterfalls and local villages
• Interact with the local people and discover their rich culture, cuisine and lifestyle
