“A Journey to the Heart of India: Reconnect with Nature, Simplicity, and the Sacred”
Retreat Overview
Welcome to a unique healing and cultural immersion experience at Swasti Yoga Center, a Government of India-certified and internationally recognized school of yoga and Ayurveda. Designed for wellness seekers, yoga practitioners, and spiritually curious travelers, our retreats blend traditional Indian wisdom with modern wellness techniques in an eco-sustainable setting. This is not a group retreat – it’s your journey, guided step-by-step, living and learning with a real Maharashtrian yoga family, sharing not just sessions but the fabric of daily life.
What Makes This Retreat Unique?
- Exclusive One-on-One Program: All yoga, Ayurveda therapies, life coaching, and cultural immersion sessions are tailored just for you.
- Curated Healing Journey: Programs are created based on personal goals – physical wellness, mental health, spiritual growth, or lifestyle change. Swasti goes further with family-style participation, Maharashtrian culinary activities, and social rituals rather than living as a hotel guest.
- Daily Consultations: With Yoga therapists and Ayurvedic doctors to ensure the program evolves with your needs.
