Meditation cushions in ashram courtyard at golden hour

    Retreats

    Come for Days. Leave Transformed.

    Stay at the ashram, receive one offering per day, and let the sacred geography of the Sangam do the rest.

    A ShantiLokha retreat is not what you might expect. There's no packed schedule, no performance, no achievement metrics, no graduation.

    You arrive. You settle into your room. You eat wholesome food. You receive one offering each morning — a meditation, a Sanskrit lesson, a yoga session, or a guided visit to a sacred site. The rest of the time is yours.

    This is the ashram way — radical in its simplicity. It works because the place holds tremendous energy, and when you slow down enough, that energy begins to work on you. We recommend two weeks; the first few days are just landing.

    • You're a spiritual seeker looking for depth, not entertainment

    • You're a teacher scouting a venue for your own groups
    • You feel called to slow down in a genuinely sacred space

    This may not be a fit if

    • You want luxury accommodation or resort amenities
    • You expect a packed retreat schedule

    For Teachers & Leaders

    Bringing a Group?

    We welcome yoga teachers and retreat leaders who want to host their own programs at ShantiLokha. You bring your students and your teaching — we provide the space, meals, logistics, and welcome experience.

    Choose your own dates and tell us how long you need. A group takes the whole place for that time, so the house runs to your programme rather than around it, and your room as facilitator is complimentary.

    Still Deciding?

    We'll Help You Choose

    Each retreat is its own experience. If you're not sure which is right for you — or if you have questions about timing, dates, or the rhythm of ashram life — reach out. We'll talk it through.
