Experience the Retreat
Set in the quiet mountain air of Dharamshala, this 21 day retreat is built around the classical yogic system of Sage Patanjali, brought to life through Traditional Hatha Yoga, the Ashtanga Primary Series and Vinyasa Flow. The training is registered with Yoga Alliance, so the 200 hour certification earned here is recognised by studios and schools internationally.
Mornings start with pranayama and Shat Kriya, followed by asana practice, with afternoons given to philosophy, anatomy and the art of teaching.
You study three core styles across the retreat. Ashtanga, including vinyasa, Ujjayi pranayama, bandhas and drishti. Vinyasa and Hatha, with sequencing and class design. Then a focused module on pranayama and meditation, covering techniques such as Chakra Meditation, Nada Yoga and Vipassana.
Teaching is not left for the final week. Supervised practice teaching begins on day one, building from short guided sessions into full length classes, with continuous feedback from the teaching team throughout.
Functional anatomy is taught with the body in mind rather than as pure theory, covering joints, alignment and injury prevention for the feet, knees, hips, spine and shoulders.
Beyond the physical, the retreat includes traditional Shatkarma cleansing, Karma Yoga as selfless service, and study of the Eight Limbs of Patanjali and the three gunas.
The retreat opens with a welcome ceremony and closes with a graduation ceremony among the group. Vegetarian meals are included for the full 21 days, alongside residential and non residential stay options for guests who would rather arrange their own accommodation nearby.
Why This Retreat Stands Out
What sets this retreat apart is its multi-style structure. Rather than committing to a single tradition, you train across Hatha, Ashtanga Primary Series and Vinyasa Flow, with an added taste of Yin Yoga, Partner Yoga and sound healing built into the schedule.
Supervised teaching practice starts on day one, not week three, so you leave with real classroom hours behind you rather than just theory.
The course also goes past the mat. Shatkarma cleansing practices, Karma Yoga and daily philosophy study round out a retreat built for people who want to understand yoga as a discipline, not simply complete a checklist of postures.

Program
The retreat runs for 21 days, with guests arriving on day one, which is the official start date of the batch.
The first scheduled activity of each day is pranayama and Shat Kriya practice, followed by asana, philosophy, anatomy and teaching sessions through the afternoon and evening, closing with dinner.
Teaching practice begins from day one and continues daily, and one self study slot is built into each day for personal review and rest.
The retreat concludes with a closing and graduation ceremony on the final day, so plan your departure for after that ceremony.

Breakfast
Food Details
Meals are largely vegetarian and prepared fresh each day, drawing on Indian, Himachali and Tibetan influenced dishes that suit the mountain setting. Breakfast and lunch are included, served at set times that fit the daily practice schedule.
Many ingredients come from the surrounding Kangra valley, and the kitchen can usually handle gluten free, dairy free or vegan requests if you flag them in advance.
The food leans warm, simple and nourishing rather than elaborate, which suits the slower pace of a yoga immersion. Herbal teas and filtered water are available through the day to keep you comfortable at altitude.

DHARAMSHALA

HIMACHAL PRADESH

INDIA
Upper Bhagsu sits in a quiet pocket of the Dharamshala hills, minutes from the Bhagsu waterfall and a short walk from the main square in McLeod Ganj. Mornings bring mountain streams and temple bells from the nearby Bhagsunag Temple, while evenings settle into woodsmoke and the silhouette of the Dhauladhar range catching the last light.
This stretch of Dharamshala blends old Himalayan village life with the Tibetan culture brought here by the exiled community, which gives it a layered, unhurried character. The centre keeps things simple, with private rooms, daily breakfast and lunch, free Wi-Fi, and practice spaces that keep the hills in view all day.
Nearby, the Bhagsu waterfall offers a scenic break, while the Dalai Lama Temple Complex in McLeod Ganj remains one of the most visited landmarks in the region. The other must visits are Bhagsunag Temple, the Triund trek, the Tibetan Museum, the Naddi viewpoint over Dal Lake, and the main market in McLeod Ganj.

Travel Information
flight
The most convenient airport is Kangra Airport (DHM) in Gaggal, roughly 25 to 30 kilometres from Upper Bhagsu, with regular domestic flights to and from Delhi.
International travellers usually fly into Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in New Delhi, then take a short domestic connection to Kangra Airport, around an hour and fifteen minutes.
From Kangra Airport, taxis wait outside the terminal for the drive into Dharamshala and up to Bhagsu, usually 45 minutes to an hour. Some travellers instead fly into Chandigarh Airport (IXC) in Chandigarh and continue by road, roughly five to six hours with scenic mountain views along the way.
train
Pathankot Railway Station is the nearest major railhead with broad gauge connections to cities such as Delhi, Amritsar and Mumbai, about 85 to 90 km from Dharamshala.
From Pathankot you can take a taxi or connect onward on the scenic narrow gauge toy train to Kangra, though most people prefer a direct taxi for convenience, which takes roughly three hours up into the hills.
Chakki Bank Railway Station near Pathankot is another well connected option for anyone coming from the northern Indian cities, with similar onward taxi options into Dharamshala and Bhagsu.
bus
Dharamshala is well connected by both Himachal Pradesh state buses and private operators running from Delhi, Chandigarh and other northern cities.
Overnight Volvo and semi deluxe buses from Delhi typically take around 10 to 12 hours and arrive at the main bus stand in Dharamshala. From there, a local taxi or auto rickshaw of about 20 to 25 minutes takes you up to Bhagsu.
Buses from Chandigarh take roughly 7 to 8 hours, which makes this a practical option if you are already in northern India.
taxi
Prepaid and app based taxis are available at Kangra Airport, at Pathankot Railway Station and at the Dharamshala bus stand, so a direct transfer is easy to arrange without planning ahead.
From Kangra Airport the ride to Upper Bhagsu takes around 45 minutes to an hour, while from Pathankot it is closer to three hours because of the mountain roads.
Taxis can also be pre arranged from Delhi for anyone who prefers door to door travel, though that is a longer journey of 10 to 11 hours and suits people who want to enjoy the drive through the hills at their own pace.
car
Self driving travellers can reach Dharamshala on National Highway 154, with the Delhi to Dharamshala run taking approximately 10 to 11 hours and covering around 480 kilometres.
From Chandigarh the drive is shorter, at roughly 5 to 6 hours over 240 kilometres, passing through scenic stretches of the lower Himachal hills.
Once in Dharamshala, the final stretch up to Upper Bhagsu is a winding hill road of around 20 to 30 minutes, so a vehicle comfortable with mountain driving is recommended.
FAQ's
Yes. The retreat is designed as a foundation course, covering asana, alignment and teaching methodology from the ground up, so no prior teaching experience is needed to enrol.
Supervised teaching practice begins from day one and continues throughout the 21 days, moving from short guided sessions to full length classes with ongoing feedback.
Yes. The training is Yoga Alliance registered at the RYS 200 level, and the certification is recognised for teaching yoga in studios and schools worldwide.
The retreat covers Traditional Hatha Yoga, the Ashtanga Primary Series and Vinyasa Flow as core styles, with additional sessions in Yin Yoga, Partner Yoga and sound healing.
Each day includes a dedicated self study slot for personal review and rest, alongside the structured asana, philosophy, anatomy and teaching sessions.
The local currency is the Indian Rupee (INR). ATMs are a short distance away in McLeod Ganj and Dharamshala, and most accept international cards, though carrying some cash is worth it for smaller local purchases.
Yes. Upper Bhagsu and the nearby McLeod Ganj market have small grocery stores, pharmacies and general shops within easy walking or short taxi distance, so daily essentials are simple to pick up during the stay.
Nearby highlights include the Bhagsu waterfall a short walk away, the Triund trek for sweeping mountain views, the Dalai Lama Temple Complex in McLeod Ganj, the Tibetan Museum, and the cafes and market lanes around McLeod Ganj.
The centre sits in Upper Bhagsu, within easy walking distance of the main square in McLeod Ganj and a short drive from lower Dharamshala, so both are comfortably within reach for day trips or evening walks.
Dharamshala sits in the Himalayan foothills, so mornings and evenings tend to be cool even in the warmer months, and guests coming from lower altitudes may want a day or two to acclimatise.
Further Details About the Retreat
This is a Yoga Alliance registered school at the RYS 200 level, so the certification earned here is recognised for teaching in studios worldwide. Teaching practice starting on day one is the part most graduates mention afterwards, because it means you leave with real classroom hours rather than notes about them.
Both residential and non residential options are available, so guests who would rather arrange their own accommodation nearby can still take the full training. Vegetarian meals run through all 21 days, with breakfast and lunch included for residential guests.
Free Wi-Fi runs at the centre throughout the stay, and mobile coverage is generally reliable across Upper Bhagsu and McLeod Ganj, though it can be patchy on the more remote treks such as Triund.
