The Hill station experience
This experience takes place in one of the serene hill stations near Mumbai, nestled in the majestic mountains of Maharashtra. Here we will spend our days immersed in the crisp, refreshing air and the lush greenery, exploring gorgeous landscapes by hike, engaging in yoga, meditation, and reflective practices that bring us closer to our true selves. This tranquil setting will be our sanctuary, a place to slow down, soften, and open our hearts to the whispers of nature.
We will be staying in one of the farm villas
near Lonavala, a hillstation +/- 2 hours drive from Mumbai. This farm is nestled admist lush greenery, with a swimming pool, vegetable farm surroundings and feels.
embracing the tranquility of the hills
and recharging with a variety of yoga sessions. Enjoying the traditional (plant based) food from Maharashtra, connecting with a cozy group of like minded people and having plenty of free time to unwind in your own way.
Wether you wish to deepen your understanding of traditional yoga or just need to unwind, slow down and reconnect, feel welcome to join.
during this retreat we will explore
two hiking trails around Lonavala. These tracks are for little adventure enthusiasts, nature lovers and for the ones who wish to see more of the beauty of India. The trails are filled with a mix of boulders, steps, and a muddy/sandy surface. We will start these hikes early in the morning when the temperature is comfortable and there is less crowd (welcome to India ; )
The views on the plateaus will be stunning!
And the experience of it all stays forever :)

Tamara van Well
Yoga & Life Coach
My heart always makes joyful jumps when I can share my love for creating awareness of yoga beyond the asana. Asana can be an invitation to touch upon the stream of human experiences, coming to the realisation of who we always thought ourselves to be or should be, and to remember our true essence. Yoga is not about the appearance, it is about uncovering the wisdom that lies within us.
In the retreats I also love to do just that, sharing a more holistic in depth experience, gaining inspiration to integrate yoga into life for a more balanced way of living.
When I get the question, “What style of yoga do you teach?'“, I always mention “Yoga”. I find it hard to label it, as yoga is not about what we do, but how we are in it. If we want to define it though, my sessions are based upon the hatha, slow vinyasa, restorative movement, yin, pranayama and meditative practices.
The retreats are wired to reconnect, remember, relax & renew, or rather rediscover, to live in alignment with who you truly are.
