What are ‘Ashiyana Retreats’?

The idea for ‘Ashiyana Retreats’ has evolved from the success of our ‘Yoga Holidays’ at Ashiyana. We believe that these have proven to be so potent for our guests because they offer a unique and magical blend of elements – serene setting, beautiful accommodation, natural food, mindful movement and, most important of all, our loving embrace. 

The 'Ashiyana Experience'

Our intention with Ashiyana Retreats then, is to bottle this magical formula and offer curated experiences, each with this same essence, but themed differently.

The retreats are designed to support you in becoming the best possible version of yourself, and at the deepest level this is through the invitation to relax and come home. 

Relax.
Our philosophy is all about dropping effort, and being in the flow.

You’re home.
Ashiyana is a Hindi word that means ‘home’, and everything that we offer is an invitation to relax and come home to your quiet, resting place within.

Learn how to host your own retreat and let our team help you design a nurturing experience.

You Are Nature: Jivamukti Yoga Retreat

with Gianni & Andrea

In yogic terms, nature is revered as Prakriti. In Prakriti all life emerges.
Yet in the pace of modern living, we often forget this truth. When we lose touch with the rhythms of the earth, we lose touch with ourselves. We separate ourselves.
This retreat is an invitation to remember: to return to the default harmony between body, breath, and the living world around you, and to rise with renewed steadiness, clarity, and purpose.
With a focus on the practices framed by Jivamukti Yoga, this immersive experience brings together dynamic asana practice, alignment-focused workshops, meditation, yin yoga, chanting, and philosophy study.

Giving is integral to our philosophy

There’s great wisdom in making sure that we ourselves are well; and once this is the case, we discover that we have a great desire to take care of others.

At Ashiyana, this means that we have an overriding concern for the welfare of our guests – we refer to this as holding them in a loving embrace. But we also believe in supporting those less well off than ourselves within our surrounding community, as well as supporting the health of our biosphere. 

We will give a % of the net profit of every Ashiyana Retreat to our Giving Back projects, which support local causes in the areas of our retreats.
