About Fitness & Yoga Retreats
Why I Host These Retreats
I started these weekends because I know how easy it is to lose touch with yourself in the daily grind. For me, real wellness is about reconnecting - with your body, your mind, and nature. These retreats are for anyone who wants a break from the usual and maybe, like me, needs a little nudge to find that spark again.
What Happens Here
- All sessions are outdoors at a peaceful farm in Sarjapur, Bangalore - lots of fresh air, birds, and open skies.
- We do yoga, meditation, calisthenics, and even try our hand at Kalaripayattu (ancient Indian martial art).
- Sunrise yoga is energizing, but if you need a slower start, you’ll fit right in too.
- Evening campfires and talent shows keep things real and help everyone laugh together.
- We sleep in tents and eat simple, healthy food - nothing fancy, just honest meals.
Who Joins In
You don’t need to be super fit or know yoga. I’ve seen everyone from beginners to fitness buffs come away with something new. Families are welcome. If you want to push yourself, find new friends, or just breathe a bit easier, you'll feel at home.
What I Promise
- I lead with a team - each guide brings their own energy, so there’s never just one way to do things.
- It’s not about perfection, it’s about showing up.
- Expect “mindful movement retreat” vibes mixed with group fitness getaway energy, all in a true outdoor yoga experience.
If you’re ready to see what you’re made of (and maybe laugh at yourself a little), this is your sign.

My Story
I quit my corporate job in 2019, totally clueless what next. Scared? Oh yes. But something deep down said, this is it. Yoga found me (or maybe I found yoga?) and suddenly, work was joy, not just a paycheck. It’s not just about stretching, it’s about growing up inside, learning to like myself, surprising myself. I want to share all that with you. The real stuff, not just poses.
My Work
Yoga & Workshops - I teach Corporate yoga sessions, Hatha, Therapy yoga for stress, Pre and postnatal yoga, plus Headstand workshops.
Go Slow, Listen In - We move with awareness, use props if needed, and always listen to what your body says.
Step by Step Progress - Doesn’t matter if you’re new or experienced - we take it slow, learn how to fall, and get steady before moving up.
Yoga Beyond Poses - We work on strength, clarity, and Pranayama breathing classes to calm your mind and body.
