Yoga Workshops & Immersive Retreats
Yoga has no borders. Whether in the Himalayas or across Europe, these retreats are about finding yourself through nature, community, and ancient practice.

Another happy group photo inside the dome, with everyone in Anjali Mudra. It's a beautiful symbol of the respect and gratitude we cultivate for the practice and for each other.
About Global Yoga Family: Workshops & Retreats
These aren't hotel-based luxury retreats; I take you where nature is raw, like geodesic domes in deep forests or on remote Himalayan trails. We keep the environment simple so that the internal work of meditation, pranayama, and Hatha yoga remains the center of your day.
My journey has taken me from the busy streets of Riga to the quietude of the Himalayas. I don't just teach poses; I create spaces where people from different cultures—Latvian, European, Indian—can strip away the noise.
My workshops center on 'The Breath.' We start with Hatha yoga to ground the body, then dive deep into Nadi Shodhana and guided mantra meditation. This isn't about fitness in the gym sense. It is about 'swayam ko jaanna' (knowing the self).
Whether we are practicing in a dome, a park, or a forest, the goal remains the same. You aren't here for a standard vacation. You are here to practice, eat simply, and disconnect from your devices. These retreats are designed for anyone who wants to move beyond the surface level of exercise and find balance. If you are looking for a community that practices with heart, this is where we begin.
