14 Days | Yoga Retreat India | Intermediate & Advanced Levels
(Minimum 10 day stay)
This two week Intensive Yoga Retreat in India is best for the students who already have a foundation in yoga, but not regular in their daily practice. Under the guidance of our expert teachers, this Yoga Retreat in India can help you to explore more challenging asanas and pranayamas, and delve deeper into yoga philosophy. The four hours of daily yoga practice can challenge you to explore your body, breath and mind. The theory classes on Philosophy and Psychology of Yoga can take your understanding of yoga beyond the yoga mat, to spiritualize the mundane daily lifestyle.
We expect that you are physically and mentally fit enough to handle the intensity of this retreat. If you find this schedule too intensive, you may want to come for our Beginners Yoga Retreats where the yoga sessions are lighter and there is only one theory class a day.
Average group size: 5 – 10 students only. So, you get plenty of personal attention!
Minimum Stay
If you cannot spare 2 weeks, it is possible to come for 10 days. It is ideally recommended to start on the first day with other students, then depart after 10 days. It might be possible to join in a few days later, if we have enough accommodation. The cost for 10 days will be the same as the full 2 week retreat. During the off season from May to September, we might allow 7 nights stay at half the cost of the retreat. Please email our office to enquire about the availability between May and September.
