Explore India
India is a limitless fount of wisdom, people and new experiences. The only way to get into it is to get into it. We will guide you safely and gently through your India experience so that you can get the best and avoid the worst that is India.
Daily Yoga
Randall will be your guide for the morning practices, taking place in the guest house we will stay in. After 2.5 hours of yoga, we will get breakfast and then have a lecture/discussion on the topic of the week. In the afternoon we will proceed to explore the places and people that make India so special.
Experience the Beauty
Beautiful Rishikesh is situated on the banks of Holy Ganga river and surrounded by the Rajaji National Tiger Reserve. (Don’t be scared, no tigers around town). The Himalayan hills are supremely beautiful, as is the Ashram area of Rishikesh and the many beaches along the Ganga. It’s clean and pleasant and October is an ideal time to come weather-wise.
Meet Yogis and Teachers
Having spent so much time here, I know many wonderful teachers and yogis we can meet and learn from. Some days we will go out and explore yoga (and other) classes or meet special souls for lessons or teachings. There is so much to learn here, from yoga to mantra, Philosophy to astrology and so much more.
Visit Temples and Pujas
Every morning and evening there are ceremonies in the temples along the Ganga River. We will visit different temples and experience the way they worship the higher consciousness through mantra, song, fire and offerings.
Learn About the Culture
After more than 25 years of visiting India, I am still in awe about how much there is to learn and experience. Every visit another layer is revealed to India’s vast and bottomless culture. We will help you to start to unlock some of the magic that is India, one step at at time.

Daily yoga is also included, in the yoga hall situated in the guest house. Randall will lead 2.5 hours of morning yoga and a 1.5 hour lecture, and join you on various activities during the day.
