INTO THE MOTHERLAND

7-Day Immersion | Yoga Retreat + Continuing Education
Chakra Rising Retreat
Rishikesh, India
For those who feel called to understand energy beyond the conceptual, but through the body and as a living practice. Together, we’ll explore the chakra system with depth, clarity, and intention—learning how prana, energy, moves, where it becomes blocked, and how to work with it safely and responsibly. When the chakras are balanced and purified the mind gains clarity, actions have direction and the body is brought into equilibrium. We develop discernment, the type of discernment guiding us to live the life we truly desire, a life in harmony.

With open hearts and minds they began their sadhana and continue to integrate the yoga teachings into their daily lives.
