5 Day Himalayan Wellness Escape in Shimla

Each day of the retreat follows a rhythm designed around the traditional yogic schedule—sunrise meditation, morning Hatha practice, pranayama, philosophy, and evening healing sessions. Day one begins with arrival and an opening circle, where you meet the group and the teachers. From the second day on, mornings start at 6:30 am with meditation, followed by a traditional Hatha class that works on alignment and breath. Afternoons are split between workshops on yogic philosophy or chakras, nature walks through the Himalayan forests, and restorative or yin yoga sessions as the day winds down.

The program is deliberately small and personal. With a handful of guests, Yogi Rahuul and his team—including Amit and Mandeep, both experienced instructors—can tailor the practice to your level, whether you're new to yoga or have practiced for years. Guests often comment on the attentiveness of the teachers and how easily the schedule adapts to individual needs.

The setting is the Fairmount Hotel in Shimla, a heritage-era hillside property surrounded by deodar trees. Its location near Jakhoo Hill means you get panoramic views and forest walks right from the door, while Mall Road's cafes and shops are only minutes away for the afternoons when you'd like to explore.

Rahuul's teaching is rooted in the Nath Sampradaya tradition, which he learned in Omkareshwar, and he pairs this with a university degree in yogic science. That background shows in how the retreat blends classical practice with clear, simple explanations—no fluff, just traditional technique made accessible.
