Dharamshala: Yoga Retreat in the Himalayan Foothills

Where Rishikesh offers the river, Dharamshala offers the mountains. Perched on the slopes of the Dhauladhar range in Himachal Pradesh, with pine forests and monasteries above it, Dharamshala is one of Northern India's most serene retreat settings.
What makes the retreat special
Altitude changes practice. The thin, cool mountain air sharpens breathwork, and the long horizons invite the mind to settle. Our 7-day programme combines daily Hatha and Iyengar-style asana, pranayama and meditation with unhurried time to absorb the surroundings — the kind of week that recalibrates body and mind.
The heritage-hub setting
Dharamshala has been a destination for spiritual practice and study for decades, home to a large Tibetan community and a living tradition of meditation. Its calm, small-town atmosphere makes it an ideal place for a first retreat.
What to bring and expect
Bring comfortable layers — mountain mornings are cool — and an open mind. Meals are simple, nourishing and vegetarian, in keeping with the practice. All yoga equipment is provided.
