I plan each session around the local elements, whether it is the gentle current of the Tungabhadra in Hampi or the rhythmic tides at Gokarna. You will not just practice asanas; you will learn how to align your physical self with the natural flow of the environment, a practice that stays with you long after the retreat ends. Yoga is not just about the mat; it is about where you practice. In my coastal and riverside retreats, I bring groups to places where the environment does half the work. Practicing in Hampi, with its ancient rocks and the river flowing nearby, offers a stability that is hard to find in a studio. Similarly, the rhythmic waves of Gokarna teach us to let thoughts come and go, mirroring the tides. My approach is simple: nature is the real teacher. Whether you are a beginner or looking to deepen your practice, these retreats focus on finding stillness under the open sky. We spend time in guided meditation, breathwork, and asana practice, all while disconnected from the chaos of daily life. **What to expect on these retreats:** * **Mindful Movement:** Guided yoga sessions conducted on river banks and quiet beaches. * **Structured Stillness:** Time set aside specifically for meditation to quiet the mind. * **Small Groups:** I keep groups small to ensure I can provide personal attention to your alignment and practice. * **Nature Connection:** Immersive experiences in locations like Hampi, Gokarna, and beyond. May yoga happen to you 🙏 ## About Shashi Vivarta Yoga I am Shashi, and I believe 'Vivarta'—transformation—is what happens when you step out of your routine. I started Vivarta Yoga to help people break their own limits, using the wild, natural landscapes of Karnataka as our classroom.
