Somatic Yoga & Healing Retreat in the Mountains of Bir, India

This retreat is intentionally uncomplicated. Instead of a packed itinerary, you get a weekly schedule of nine different classes, offering both structure and variety, all shared with a small group of regulars and travelers. Mornings start with energizing and functional practices—basic breath awareness, yogic kriyas, and pranayama—followed by movement-based classes like Yoga Therapy, Alignment & Postural Yoga, or Vinyasa Flow. Evenings wind down with restorative sessions: Myofascial Release with balls and rollers, Yin Yoga, or Clinical Somatics.

What makes this retreat different is the home-based setting. Bir Yoga House is a private home, not a commercial center, so you get a genuine sense of being welcomed into someone's space. The group is small—up to about ten people for classes—and you'll have your own private room with a kitchenette and bathroom. The balance of personal space and human connection is deliberate, and the gentle structure means you can attend all classes or just the ones that feel right each day.

Your host, Dr. Yamuna, brings a unique background: she trained as a medical doctor in the UK for 11 years, specializing in Radiology, before dedicating herself fully to yoga. With an E-RYT 500 certification and over a decade of teaching worldwide, she blends anatomical knowledge with somatics, breathwork, and trauma awareness. Her teaching is informed by a deep understanding of the body's inner workings, offering a practice that honors both the physical and subtle layers of health.

The location adds to the experience: Bir is a quiet mountain village known for its paragliding and Tibetan community, with easy access to cafés, shops, and nature trails. High-speed Wi-Fi is available, making it possible to work remotely if needed, but the real draw is the peaceful garden and the chance to simply rest, read, or be.
