Where the Ganges leaves the mountains and the air turns still. Days here are shaped the old way — asana at sunrise, breath through the morning, silence by evening — so practice becomes rhythm rather than routine, and the body has somewhere quiet to land.
Every retreat, regardless of level, returns to this same small set of poses — the alphabet everything else is built from.
The foundation of every standing asana — teaches stillness and even weight through the whole body.
Builds single-point focus and balance — a moving meditation on staying rooted.
Builds strength and steady resolve — the pose most retreat mornings open with.
Opens the side body and breath — often paired with pranayama practice.
A resting inversion used to transition between sequences and settle the nervous system.
The pose to return to at any point — a permission slip to rest mid-practice.
The classical seat for pranayama and meditation, used every dawn by the river.
Total conscious rest — considered the most important, and hardest, asana to master.
Practice is mapped to the sun's arc rather than the clock — brightest, most active work at midday, stillness at either end.
Yogic philosophy describes five layers of being, from the physical body to the innermost layer of bliss. Practice moves inward through all five, not just the outermost.
Foundational postures and correct alignment, taught slowly enough to build a body that can sustain daily practice.
Breath-control techniques used to steady the nervous system before deeper meditation work begins.
Seated practice by the river, building the capacity to simply sit with what arises.
Shaping a realistic home practice around your own schedule, so the retreat doesn't end when you leave it.

"Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind." Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and the working definition every session at this retreat is quietly built around.
Tell us your experience level and how many days you have, and we'll shape a retreat schedule around it — asana, breath, and the river.
