Stories from people who attended our meditation, yoga, and silent retreats across Zanskar, Chakrata, Rishikesh, and the wider Himalayas.
“Well-designed program. The singing bowl sessions were the highlight. I was not sure what to expect from sound healing but the physical sensation is real — deeply relaxing in a way that is hard to describe. The group was small and the practitioners were skilled.”
“My partner and I did the weekend retreat as our first mountain retreat experience. The Chakrata drive from Dehradun was beautiful. The retreat itself was simple, grounding, and exactly what we needed. Three days felt short but complete. We are planning to return for a five-day program.”
“The program was thoughtful and effective. Five days gave enough time to genuinely decompress. I especially valued the sessions on recognising burnout patterns — practical tools I still use three months later. Sankri was the right setting: remote enough to disconnect, accessible enough to not add travel stress.”
“I was hesitant about spending money on rest — it felt indulgent. But this was not indulgent. It was necessary. The structure gave me permission to stop. The ridge views gave me perspective. The group was small enough that I felt safe but not observed. I have already booked again for spring.”
“Exactly what I needed after six months of nonstop work. The Chakrata location is genuinely quiet — no tourist noise, no crowds. Meals were simple and good. The breathwork sessions helped me recognize how shallow my breathing had become. I returned to work calmer and more focused.”
“Perfect for a first retreat. Two nights in Chakrata, no pressure, well-structured without being rigid. The nature walks were the best part — the guide pointed out details in the forest I would never have noticed alone. I am now considering a longer format.”
“Well-structured program with genuine depth. The morning meditation sessions at dawn were the highlight. I would have appreciated slightly more guidance during the self-practice blocks, but the teachers were available when asked. The Munsiyari setting is extraordinary — Panchachuli views from the meditation hall.”
“The sound bath sessions in Chakrata were unlike anything I have experienced in city studios. Something about the mountain acoustics amplifies the bowls. I felt vibrations in my chest. The evening gong ceremony on the ridge was the single most peaceful hour of my year.”
“Good program, well paced. The morning sessions were intense in the right way. Afternoon movement work was gentler and restorative. The Chakrata setting provided quiet that Rishikesh cannot — less spiritual tourism, more actual practice. I would recommend this for anyone with a regular yoga practice looking to deepen.”
“Three days in Chakrata with Rest & Reset completely recalibrated me. The schedule was genuinely spacious — no pressure, no performance. I slept better than I had in months. The forest walks were simple but deeply restorative. This is what a weekend should feel like.”
“The Chakrata silent retreat was the hardest and most rewarding thing I have done. Day two was brutal — restlessness, boredom, frustration. By day four, something shifted. The teachers held space without pressure. The forest did the rest. I sleep better now. I think more clearly. Worth every rupee.”
“The Rishikesh yoga retreat exceeded expectations. Practice by the Ganga at sunrise is something I will carry with me. The teachers adapted to every level in the group — beginners got foundations, experienced practitioners got depth. Five days felt like the right duration.”
“Seven days of silence in Zanskar changed something fundamental in me. The monastery setting, the altitude, the structured sessions — everything conspired to strip away the noise I had been carrying for years. I went in skeptical of silence retreats. I left understanding why people keep coming back.”
“After eighteen months of pandemic-era overwork, I needed something more structured than a vacation. The burnout recovery retreat was exactly that. The journaling exercises, the breathing protocols, the deliberate rest — it was designed by someone who understands what chronic exhaustion actually feels like. The monsoon forest in August was an unexpected bonus.”
“I arrived in Chakrata unable to sleep a full night. I left sleeping seven hours. The burnout recovery program does not try to fix you with activities — it creates space for your system to start fixing itself. The facilitators understood burnout from experience, not theory. That matters.”
