Step into a slower way of living. Whether you join my online sessions to find balance in your workday or come to my home in Kotkhai for a retreat, we practice yoga to heal and connect, not to perform.

Meditating on a rock with the mountains as my witness. This image shows the benefits of joining a wellness retreat here, from improving posture to enhancing mental health.

This is a glimpse of my personal yoga flow in the main hall of the house. The space is perfect for practice, with its warm wooden interiors and peaceful energy.

About Wellness & Yoga

Practicing yoga with me isn't about getting into a perfect pose; it is about how your body feels in the moment. Whether we are practicing online or in the main hall of my Kotkhai home, I focus on gentle movements like apne tail bone pe dhyan (focus on your tailbone) to help you release stress properly. My approach is to move slowly, listen to your breath, and let the practice settle your mind.

I'm Manikarnika. I live between Delhi and my family's apple orchard in Kotkhai, and I try to bring the peace of those hills into every yoga session I lead. I might be your calm, focused guide on the mat, but you'll also find me picking apricots or being entirely silly when the work is done.

Looking back at my first retreat fills my heart with joy. It was magical how everything fell into place, creating precious moments of solitude and community that I will always cherish.
Prana is the vital life force. In our retreats, we practice asana and pranayama in beautiful natural settings, like this treehouse deck in Rishikesh, to ensure the smooth movement of prana throughout our entire system.
Correct alignment is crucial for the healthy flow of prana and injury prevention. In our retreat asana sessions, we focus on understanding the alignment of each posture, like Surya Namaskar, while honoring each person's unique body.
