Itinerant Retreat in India: A Journey to the Soul of Yoga

October 19th to November 1st, 2025

A Journey to the
Soul of Yoga

Yoga is more than a practice; it’s a path. In India, yoga goes beyond the physical postures and takes us to the very essence of who we are. This retreat is centered on the philosophy of dharma (life purpose) and vedanta (self-inquiry), guiding you to find clarity, balance, and meaning in your life.

Through daily practices, sacred rituals, and cultural immersion, you’ll reconnect with the joy of simply being, rediscover your inner strength, and embrace your authentic self.

Discover India! Discover Yourself!

India is not just a destination; it’s an awakening. A land of contrasts and spirituality, India invites you to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the essence of who you are beneath the layers of daily life. This retreat offers you more than just travel—it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in a transformative journey, both outward and inward, through one of the most vibrant and soulful countries on Earth.

This is more than a retreat—it’s a call to rediscover who you are.

Led by Cristina Dionísio, whose life work centers on helping others find clarity and purpose, and Inácio Rozeira, an expert traveler with decades of experience exploring India’s cultural and spiritual depth, this retreat goes beyond sightseeing. Together, we will journey from Chennai to Cochin, experiencing sacred spaces, timeless traditions, and daily practices that align your body, mind, and soul.

What’s included?

Our Journey

In the heart of India lies the essence of all journeys: the journey within.

The Journey Within

The Death of the Old and the Birth of the New

India is the birthplace of yoga and a land deeply rooted in ancient wisdom, where philosophy and spirituality converge to guide individuals toward self-realization.

In the yogic tradition, the concept of Svadhyaya, or self-study, encourages us to reflect on our thoughts, behaviors, and inner narratives.

This practice is not just about understanding who we are but also about recognizing and dissolving the patterns and conditioning that no longer serve us.

By embarking on this retreat in India, you will immerse yourself in an environment that embodies these teachings, offering both the outer and inner landscapes to explore the depths of your being.

Central to Indian yogic philosophy is the understanding that our lives are shaped by Samskaras—impressions and habits formed by past experiences.

These patterns often operate unconsciously, influencing our choices and holding us back from realizing our full potential.

In the sacred energy of India, a land that has nurtured centuries of seekers and sages, you will have the unique opportunity to examine these Samskaras and cultivate the awareness needed to rewrite your story.

The ancient wisdom woven into India’s culture and traditions provides the perfect backdrop for this profound work.

Moreover, the practice of Dharma, or aligning with your life’s purpose, is a cornerstone of yogic philosophy. Often, the distractions of daily life prevent us from listening to the quiet call of our heart. In India, where spirituality infuses every aspect of life, you are invited to reconnect with this inner voice. Through meditation, self-reflection, and connection with the timeless teachings of yoga, this retreat will help you uncover your Dharma, empowering you to live with greater authenticity and purpose.

This is not just a retreat; it is a journey of transformation.

The old patterns and narratives you carry will begin to dissolve, creating space for a renewed sense of self and purpose. You will not return the same person. Through the profound work of self-discovery, guided by the spiritual energy of India, you will emerge transformed, aligned, and deeply connected to the life you are meant to live.

Begin a transformative journey through India’s sacred energy.

Release old patterns, rewrite your story, and reconnect with your true purpose. You will not return the same person!
