Guide

A day, broadly

Morning: yoga, pranayama, meditation. Late morning: yoga philosophy, workshops, learning. Afternoon: personal time, rest, or Goa. Evening: restorative yoga, special experiences, sound or music. Night: dinner, reflection, community.

The arc of a retreat

A journey inward — beginning with the body, moving through breath and mind, and arriving at self-awareness and integration. The 3-day retreat moves Arrive → Observe → Live; the 5-day moves Body → Breath → Mind → Self → Integration.

Why we do not publish hour-by-hour

Because it would not be true. The exact schedule shifts with weather, the group, practitioner availability and what people need on a given day. The detailed schedule goes to confirmed participants closer to the dates.

Curated, not rigid

The retreat programme is thoughtfully curated but not rigid. Sessions and experiences may vary depending on weather, group requirements, practitioner availability and individual suitability.
