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.
what's included
A signature highlight of the retreat is the afternoon Workshop, a dedicated space for deeper exploration. In this session, we’ll focus on nervous system support, grounding techniques, myth-inspired teachings, and practices that reconnect you with a sense of steadiness and inner spaciousness.

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
