2-Day Himalayan Wellness & Yoga Escape in Shimla, India

This is a short, structured retreat built around the essentials of classical yoga. Over two days you'll practice traditional Hatha yoga, meditation, pranayama, and Yoga Nidra, with a 30-minute massage and a nature hike worked in. The itinerary is a sample, but the core elements are consistent: a grounding arrival, daily sessions, and a closing ceremony before departure.

Day one starts with check-in and a welcoming herbal tea, followed by a satvic lunch. The afternoon brings an opening circle and orientation, then a gentle Hatha yoga session and guided meditation. Dinner is Ayurvedic, and the evening ends with Yoga Nidra. Day two begins early with meditation and a closing yoga class, then pranayama, breakfast, and a certificate presentation before checkout.

The yoga is led by two instructors. Rahuul Srivastav, the main host, has over ten years of experience and trained with the Nath Sampradaya in Omkareshwar before earning a Bachelor's in Yoga from Sparsh Himalaya University. He teaches Kundalini, mantra, and energy alignment alongside Hatha. Amit, a Yoga Alliance RYT-500 certified teacher, brings a Vinyasa and Hatha background and works with corporate groups and athletes. Together they cover everything from energetic work to the basics of alignment.

The Fairmount Hotel is a comfortable base, with A/C rooms, a restaurant, a terrace, and a dedicated yoga space. Meals are satvic—fresh, vegetarian, and simple—and served three times a day. The retreat is best for anyone looking for a low-pressure introduction to yogic practice in a beautiful setting, whether you're new to yoga or just want a weekend away from the city.
