everyday life . . for ourselves ?

We are very lucky to have all that we do in our beautiful lives.
Our children, partners, home, work & pets etc.
We certainly have gratitude for all these amazing gifts.
However at times, we feel overwhelmed with all that we have to do to keep things running smoothly in our lives.
We feel the necessity to have a little time out in our busy lives for ourselves.
All the responsibilities we have on a daily basis require so much of our energy, effort
and time.
We all want to do our best at home and at work and we tend to either tire ourselves out by pushing too hard or simply bash ourselves up and have a lot of negative self talk because the job was not tackled let alone completed!
On this 9 day Retreat you will get :
Time to be still & to rest in your room, lounging by the pool or relaxing at the wellness spa.
Time to listen deeply & explore your "inner landscape" through meditation practice.
Time to simply recharge your energy through mindful movement & breath work.
Time to explore your surroundings through walks & guided tours.
This Yoga Retreat to India is the opportunity for you to take time out to slow down & focus on yourself through exploration, practice & rest.
You will explore not only the surroundings but there will be self inquiry & deep listening too through our yoga & meditation practice.
This is the perfect opportunity for you to switch off from your normal everyday responsibilities for 9 days so that you can devote precious, much needed time and attention to your own personal needs & wellness : through exploration, practice & rest.
On our Yoga Retreat to India you will get to "fill your cup" & replenish your energy.
Together we will explore new places, cultures, food & much more.
You will get to connect with like minded women.
Let's journey together on this amazing 9 day women's yoga retreat to India, where you will get to switch off from your daily responsibilities & just have fun exploring, practicing & taking precious time for yourself to rest.

Pia Båth Rokstad (Norway
Student testimonial
The very first time I came into Gurjinder's Yoga studio there was a sense of calmness and purity.
Her serene yet very meticulous approach helped me feel relaxed and comfortable .
Each class would end with an aromatherapy head, face or foot massage & I would leave class
feeling glorious.
I realised very soon - that Gurjinder is passionate about sharing her knowledge of yoga with us
all & you can feel it in her energy & the way she connects with students to help them heal.
Coming to Gurjinder’s classes became my favorite part of a week.
For every new pose I was learning, Gurjinder would take extra care, helping me advance my
practice by guiding me step by step.
If you are fortunate enough to live close to her or have an opportunity to attend the Yoga
Retreat in India – do not miss it!
Gurjinder’s classes will help you feel calm, relaxed & well.

Student testimonial
After attending Gurjinder’s yoga classes for several years now I have become stronger, more
flexible and overall gotten a healthier body.
I feel in touch with myself and I love this time just for myself.
When I come home I am relaxed and energised.
I am so lucky to have the opportunity to have Gurjinder as my yoga teacher.
When I come to class she will always give me what I need: slow, fast, challenging or a mix of
everything.
No class is exactly the same, so I always learn something new.
She always gives us something extra; a touch of oils, a light massage or different props that will
give us a better or different experience.
I love it.
I recommend everyone that has the opportunity to join her retreat should definitely go and
experience the love and care she puts into sharing her practice with us.
I believe it will be one of the best investments for yourself that you can make.
