“What a great trip! I had THE most amazing time in India with Sal Flynn and the other yoginis thanks to the great itinerary. So much to see and do – vibrant colours, great sight-seeing, fabulous accommodation, delicious food and such inspiring and yet calming yoga and meditation with Sal.  So humbling to be in India, to walk the path of the great yogis and to also have such an amazing time filled with great memories. Thanks for a marvellous and awe inspiring journey.”

Yoga and Mindfulness Retreat

Over 13 Yoga, mindfulness and meditation sessions we will draw from the vast wisdom of yoga practice using Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathing practices) and Meditation to evoke the strength, courage and wisdom that is already within.

We will draw on the element of Earth in our daily practice and we will build the strength and resilience we need to embrace change and take advantage of the opportunities that life offers us.
We will connect with the transformative element of Fire that that clears away the obstacles that stand our way so we can see clearly and allow creativity and wisdom to be revealed.

In our morning session, we will practice strength building asana and pranayama that will enliven our energy and prepare us to be inspired by the beautiful landscapes and culture.
The afternoon practice will be restorative, quieting and calming, leading us to a period of stillness and reflection to move into the deeper realms of this ancient and sacred science.

During the Yoga, mindfulness and meditation sessions during the retreat, we will learn to acknowledge our own needs as well as techniques to build resources to create a fulfilled and satisfying life. Within each one of us is a vast resource of strength, wisdom and compassion. Our essential nature is empowered, wise, inspired, confident and joyful.

“Thank you for organising an excellent trip.  A good balance of yoga, relaxation, fun, and excellent food and accommodation. The beautiful resorts were an excellent backdrop for the yoga and a pleasant foil for the bus trips, jeep trip, markets and sightseeing.”

Jo Daniels.

You will create memories that will last a lifetime and it will be a truly transformative experience.

“This was a genuine, comprehensive and well organised Yoga and meditation retreat and tour to India. Our accommodation was wonderful and yoga venues were clean, spacious and well equipped.The food an absolute bounty of regional fare that exceeded expectations and every effort was made by the operators to accommodate needs and wants. The tour guides on the ground in India were friendly, courteous and knowledgeable and more than willing to interact with our group, sharing information and providing an insight into this fascinating and diverse country. I feel like I have had a small taste of the ‘real’ India rather than the usual hackneyed tourist sites that are so often fed to visitors.Special mention needs to be made of the generous and capable tour leader, Sal Flynn who drew it all together with enthusiasm, professionalism and good humour.”
