India has become a place of deep spiritual connection for me, and it is my heartfelt wish to share its beauty, wisdom and transformative atmosphere with you.
My journeys to India have led me to traditional yoga studies in Mysore, meditation and Reiki teachings in Dharamshala, and further spiritual training in Rishikesh. These experiences have profoundly shaped both my personal practice and the teachings I share today. My approach brings together traditional yogic wisdom, conscious breathing, mindful movement, meditation and the healing vibrations of sound. I create a loving and supportive space where everyone is welcome to explore their inner world, reconnect with their authentic nature and cultivate peace, awareness and compassion.
I warmly invite you to join me on this journey along the sacred Ganga, surrounded by the Himalayas, where we will explore the ancient wisdom of yoga, reconnect with nature and discover the bliss that lives within us.

India is a vibrant and colourful country with diverse clothing traditions. However, we encourage respectful and modest attire, especially when visiting temples, ashrams and sacred sites.
We recommend packing comfortable and breathable clothes. For visiting temples and ashrams make sure to cover your shoulders and knees, i.e. with loose-fitting trousers, long skirts and tops with sleeves. A lightweight shawl or scarf is also a wonderful addition to your packing list, as you can easily use it to cover your shoulders or head when entering sacred places.
More details will follow in the packing list after signing up. -
No, participation in all activities is optional. You are free to choose which activities you would like to join and which you prefer to skip. However, we kindly ask all participants to follow the scheduled group transfers between locations.
