A sanctuary to steady your spirit, let go of what you’ve been carrying, and welcome a renewed sense of clarity as summer softens into fall. This retreat invites you to gently turn inward through the reflective practices of Hatha-Raja and Yin yoga, nourishing pranayama, myth, and mantra. Supported by wholesome seasonal meals, quiet walks among the trees, and grounding meditations, you’ll settle into the spacious, restorative rhythm of autumn, realigning your body, mind, and heart with nature’s call to slow down and begin again.

       it’s not about staying inside and fading away.  
       go be free, mindful & don’t let them tame you  
       i refuse to be tamed. i am here to be wild &
       free. i am here to be so wild that it gives
      you the courage to do the same. You may
      think that me being little in stature that you
     can control me but let me remind you of my
     greatness, of my ability to call forth the
    strength of the true divine to fill your hatred
    with love. to be such a pillar of strength that I
    anchor the light to work through me. I ask of
   you to stand with me, to not confine yourself to
   the request of closing the doors of your dreams,
  your businesses & homes. Rather we rise, we stand
  for humanity and all kinds for their own freedom.
 It’s not about staying inside and fading away. Go be
 free, mindful & don’t let them tame you. i refuse to
be tamed. i am here to be wild & free. i am here to be
so wild that it gives  you the courage to do the same.

Crystal was so welcoming and created such an amazing energy. We stayed in a very clean and safe retreat centre that was close to all the things you want to see in Rishikesh. We moved our bodies everyday, learnt about Indian mythology and then got to experience it first hand out in the city. This retreat offered everything I could have asked for and more! I can't wait to join in on another retreat!

The To the Roots Retreat was everything I wanted and more for my first experience to India.

The daily practice was exactly as promised and you cannot find better teachers to provide a practice for all levels.

What a great experience in such a foreign land.

A beautiful place full of love, deep with ritual and simplicity. The accommodations matched that as well. The yoga classes and events beautifully lead by Natalie and Crystal were rich with yoga tradition. There was plenty offered but also lots of time to explore on your own. This journey will always hold a special place in my heart.

Traveling to Rishikesh with was one of the most magical experiences I have ever had
