BHAKTI RETREAT
Join us for an intimate week of yoga, satsang, sacred pilgrimage, and kirtan in Rishikesh—the birthplace of yoga and a city alive with devotion.
We’ll stay just three minutes from Kirtan Fest, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in the festival while enjoying the connection and support of a small retreat group.
Each day will begin with practice and end in song.
A WEEK IMMERSED IN BHAKTI....
Our mornings will begin with yoga and meditation led by Alexandra. Through asana, mantra, breath, and philosophy, we’ll prepare the body and heart to receive the day.
After breakfast, we’ll walk together to the kirtan festival for morning satsang and kirtan. We’ll listen, sing, learn, and experience the energy of devotional practice alongside musicians, teachers, and seekers from around the world.
At lunchtime, our group will gather for a facilitated sharing circle—a space to pause, integrate what is arising, and connect more deeply with the teachings, one another, and ourselves.
In the evenings, we’ll return to Kirtan Fest for more music, mantra, and celebration.
There will also be spaciousness for rest, reflection, and exploring Rishikesh.
