2-Day Hatha Yoga and Meditation Weekend in a Bengal Village

The weekend is built around a traditional ashram-style daily schedule. Mornings start before sunrise with shat-kriyas (cleansing practices), followed by a long session of joint motion, sun salutations, asanas, and pranayama. After breakfast, Mukesh leads a theory session covering yogic topics and philosophy. After lunch there's free time or self-study, then another asana and meditation block in the late afternoon, and the day wraps up with dinner and an evening satsanga or lecture.

What makes this retreat different from a generic yoga weekend is the depth of the philosophy content. Mukesh teaches from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Gita, and the eight limbs of Ashtanga yoga, and he connects these texts to daily life. If you want a yoga retreat that's as much about the head as the body, this one delivers.

The setting helps too. The retreat is based at a beach resort in a Bengal village, not far from Kolkata. You're close enough to the city to get there easily, but far enough that the pace of life slows down. The resort is simple and comfortable—A/C rooms, free parking—and the village surroundings are a world away from the noise of the city.

Mukesh himself is an interesting host. He's an author and editor, with a published magazine called 'Atutaastha', and he's honored by the Jaimini Academy for his editorial work. He completed his yoga training at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University and is a NET-qualified professor, so the teaching is grounded in serious study.
