I’ve found that when we step out of city chaos and spend time in wild places, something inside us shifts. You start to feel lighter, more at peace, just by being close to forests, hills, or the ocean. That’s why I bring people on these journeys - not just to walk, but to actually change how they feel inside. ### What Happens on These Retreats - We go on guided treks, exploring places like Hampi’s old stones, Gokarna’s beaches, or even up in the Himalayas. Each location is its own adventure. - Yoga happens in nature, sometimes on a mountain, sometimes by a river. I’ll help you with your practice, whether you’re a beginner or already into yoga. - We always make room for stillness. Guided meditation in the open, under the sky, helps quiet the mind (Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodha, as the old texts say). - I share stories and bits of wisdom from yoga and life along the way. ### Where We Explore Our treks and retreats move through Karnataka’s hidden gems - Hampi, Gokarna, Chikmagalur, Agumbe - and the spiritual sides of the Himalayas like Kedarnath or Ladakh. Each trip feels different. ### Who This Is For If you’re looking for a nature-based yoga retreat or just want to try mindfulness trekking experiences, this is for you. Naanu yaavagalu heltini (I always say), yoga and nature together can bring out a calmer, happier you. May yoga happen to you. ## Highlights Browse through Shashi Vivarta Yoga's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/vivarta_yoga/guided-treks-yoga-retreats/featured) - [Video: This is why I believe so strongly in the power of nature.
