My wellness retreats are for folks who need a break, somewhere to swap traffic noise for birdsong and just feel like yourself again. ### Namma Bengaluru to Nature We head out to peaceful places close to Bengaluru - green trails, quiet lakes, open skies. It’s all about leaving the city behind and letting nature do its thing. You’ll wake up to fresh air, not honking horns. ### What’s in Store - Yoga and meditation retreat sessions for every level. No need to twist like a pretzel - just bring yourself. - Trekking in the wild - not too intense, but enough to get your blood flowing and your mind clear. - Mandala art and creative group activities. No art skills needed, just a willingness to try. - Mindful nutrition workshop that cuts the jargon and gives you practical tips. - Campfire evenings with story swaps, laughter, and some good old Kannada banter (local chit-chat). - You’ll meet folks chasing the same vibe - it’s a proper jatre (festival) of wellness. ### Who Fits In? If you want a weekend wellness getaway, love nature, and enjoy being part of a tribe, you’ll find your people here. We’re not about perfect yoga poses or crazy fitness goals. It’s about turning up, trying new things, and making connections. ### All Sorted Travel, comfy rooms, healthy meals - I sort it all. You just show up and soak in the experience. Let’s get out there and make city stress a distant memory! ## Highlights Browse through Shanthi Krishnan's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/barefoot_coach_shanth_koushik/wellness-retreats/featured) - [Video: This is the feeling I want to give you, the moment you leave the city traffic in the rearview mirror and head towards green, open roads.

Fitness for me? More like a soul reset. I’ve had my share of tumbles – fractured foot, banged-up leg, saree runs gone sideways. Still, I keep showing up, limping or leaping. My crew, my ‘woman tribe,’ keeps me laughing, matching outfits by accident, cheering loud. We’re not chasing perfect bodies here, just real strength and good company. ### My work - **Fitness & Yoga Coaching**: I train folks online or in-person for strength, yoga, and running. All ages, all levels. - **Barefoot Running & Strength for Runners**: As a Puma Coach, I lead training runs, strength sessions, and barefoot running coaching for everyone. - **Hyrox & Core Workouts**: We do Hyrox training sessions, core, banded activations, and yoga flows – every session’s got festival vibes. - **Women's Fitness Retreats & Corporate Wellness**: Special women's fitness retreats and wellness programs for groups or companies. Lots of energy, no boring bits. - **Supportive Community Vibes**: If you want a community running group, show up and sweat with us. No perfection – just progress. ## More services from Shanthi Krishnan - [Fitness & Performance Coaching](https://mytribe.in/barefoot_coach_shanth_koushik/fitness-performance-coaching) · ₹3.5-12K per month (estimate) - [Yoga Instruction](https://mytribe.in/barefoot_coach_shanth_koushik/yoga-instruction) · ₹2,500-4,000 per month (estimate) ## Experts similar to Shanthi Krishnan on mytribe - [Yoga & Wellness Retreats by Bodhi School of Yoga](https://mytribe.in/bodhi_school_of_yoga_bengaluru/yoga-wellness-retreats) · ₹10-15K per person (estimate) - [Wellness Retreats by Ashrita](https://mytribe.in/zenyogashala/wellness-retreats) · ₹5.5-75K per person (estimate) · India - [Fitness & Yoga Retreats by Saumya Mishra](https://mytribe.in/saumyamishrayoga/fitness-yoga-retreats) · ₹1,999-4,999 per person (estimate) · Otter, The Nature School - [Wellness Retreats & Workshops by Sreya Bhar](https://mytribe.in/yogawith_sreya/wellness-retreats-workshops) · ₹499-8,500 per person (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Yoga Retreats & Treks by The Happy Yoga Community](https://mytribe.in/the_happy_yoga_community_/yoga-retreats-treks) · ₹1,500-2,500 per person (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Yoga Retreats by Pratyaksha Yoga](https://mytribe.in/pratyakshayoga/yoga-retreats) · ₹38-85K per person (estimate) · India ## Book To book Shanthi Krishnan, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Wellness%20Retreats%20by%20Shanthi%20Krishnan.)
