Yoga Retreat With Gurjinder

Explore,Practice & Rest

​Amritsar & Basunti
​INDIA

April 18th to 26th 2020



​Would you like to stop right now ?


To slow down a bit & take a break ?


Have a little rest from your everyday demands & responsibilities at work or at home ?



Can you imagine 9 days away in magical India for busy Women just like YOU who are 

desperately craving a little "Time Out" for themselves to rest & just breathe without worrying 

about all the mess, the clothes and the dishes!



Or maybe all that paper work, reports and files that need to be completed.  



Everyday you rush around trying to get stuff done .... beginning at home with kids,

breakfasts, 
lunches ,taking them to school ... then going to work at home or in an office ... back

home and its
 food time, homework .... and the list of stuff we have to do in our everyday life just

goes on & on.





Oh I forgot to mention house work & the never ending laundry pile!





​We are very lucky to have all that we do have in our beautiful lives .... our kids, partners, home, 

work 
& pets etc.

​
We have gratitude for all these amazing gifts .


​However, we need time out .


​Time to be still, listen deeply & simply recharge our energy .




But all the responsibilities we have on a daily basis require a lot of our energy, effort and time.



Often times we tackle our responsibilities from a place of feeling energetically depleated & 

consequently we do not really give the best of ourselves to our family or to our colleagues .




Sometimes we have the energy and can manage everything happily & with ease.




Other times we are exhausted and don't really have enough energy to do the tasks in hand  well

or with love.




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!






​We find that we go on "auto pilot" mode just kinda doing stuff to get by .... we loose that feeling 

of being truly "present" with the task at hand.




​And when we stop and "tune in" to observe how we actually feel, we notice that things are not

so 
smooth or as calm as we would like.

 




This Yoga Retreat to India is the opportunity for you to take time out to slow down & focus on 

yourself through exploration, practice & rest.


 

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.





You will get to learn & develop simple tools & practices that will help you tune in, connect to 

​your breath, your centre and  from that centre you will begin to feel lighter, brighter & more 

energised.




As you give yourself time to slow down & move with greater awareness, you will begin to feel

more balanced, less reactive and more responsive to the demands & responsibilities around you.




You might even discover that you are smiling more!




​On our Yoga Retreat to India you will get to "fill your beautiful cup".




Together we will explore new places, cultures, food & much more.



You will get to replenish your own need for deep rest, mindful movement & exploration.


You will get to connect with like minded women who can relate to the way you are feeling, who

also crave this time out for themselves, just like you .



Let's journey together on this amazing 9 day women's yoga retreat in India, where you will get to

​soothe, relax & energise your body, mind, spirit & heart!





Student testimonial



Since attending Gurjinder's classes my life has changed in a very positive direction.


I feel a lot stronger, physically and my body awareness has changed dramatically. 


I find I am able to focus & concentrate with greater ease.
 

Her classes are always extremely professionaI and her knowledge about Yoga is vast.


I always feel safe and well taken care of by Gurjinder.


I would recommend Gurjinder Yoga to individuals who are seeking more mindfulness in their

life,
and to individuals who would like to enhance their spiritual and physical wellbeing.

This is the sacred space you've been craving, where you get to rest, practice and explore  

without feeling
 guilty that you are focusing on your needs instead of on the needs of others.



It is the Yoga Retreat you have been dreaming of but didn't think it was possible for you until 

NOW.



This is where you will practice yoga & meditation with me daily.





It is where you will soothe, relax & energize your body, mind, spirit & beautiful heart.




Student testimonial




I have been practicing with Gurjinder for many years now.


The practice helps me to keep my body in balance, and gives me relief from headache and  

back 
pain.



Gurjinder teaches in a calm, easy and precise way, and she instinctively seems to

know exactly what
 her students need.


​After yoga practice I feel that I have strengthened, stretched & lengthened the whole body. 


I feel calmer and more relaxed.


I will highly recommend Gurjinder yoga.

How often do we as busy women actually "take time out" from our everyday life . . for ourselves ?




When you give yourself this time of 9 days to explore, practice & rest youwill have time to focus 

on YOU.




You will begin to find greater ease as you give yourself the precious space simply to "be you".


Nurturing & nourishing your own needs first with much needed rest.
​

​
And then observing how that positive energy ripples out from within you to all those around you 

​too!
​







Student testimonial 


​After attending Gurjinder's Yoga & Meditation Classes now for 5 years, I feel so much stronger & 

healthier.


I definitely feel calmer and more relaxed with the simple meditation and breathing practices

that I have learned with Gurjinder.


I used to have issues with back pain & headaches but through my practice I am so glad to say 

that I no longer suffer with pain.




I highly recommend spending time with Gurjinder on this Yoga Retreat to India and for you to      

​soak up some of her energy, warmth &
kindness.

 Picture Yourself Here : Imagine 


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.

Can you imagine taking this precious time out for yourself to

recharge your energy ?



Just imagine how you would feel.




Imagine spending nine days in magical Amritsar & Basunti, Northern India with a group of like

minded women who also want a little time away from their busy lives & responsibilities for 

themselves to explore, practice & rest.
​





Just think what it would feel like to have some free time with :


No "work" to do other than on yourself!


​No washing up or laundry to fold & put away ... other than your own stuff.


No food to shop or meals to prepare.


Get to explore new places, cultures ,food & more.


Get to practice yoga, meditation & reiki healing.

​
Get to rest & recharge your beautiful energy.






Move your beautiful body mindfully through yoga, swimming and going for walks.




Time to explore how comforting & healing it feels to have support and be inspired by other 

women .... to connect & learn from each other.




Time to chat if you wish to and be quiet if that is what you need to feel well.



No pressure to perform.

No expectations.

No judgements.




Come with me to India April 18th to 26th, 2020.



This is your invitation.






You will get to  eat delicious nourishing vegetarian meals that have been 

prepared for you.




Just wait for the sound of the bell at our Retreat Centre at Basunti.

​


It will let you know that your meal is waiting to be served to you!




Who doesn't like a little luxury once in a while, where you are taken care of

and your dietary needs are catered to.


Such a treat.



Student Testimonial



During the six years I have practiced yoga with Gurjinder, my practice & my understanding  of 

the basic yogic principles has developed in many different ways. 



I feel stronger and more flexible & this helps me to feel well.


I am able to explore more asanas with greater ease and I am more aware of how I use my 

breath during practice to support me.



Gurjinders yoga classes are always varied and challenging & I feel both energised and calm after 

​practicing with her.



I would highly recommend attending a yoga retreat in India with Gurjinder.

Friendship : Connection : Community: Sangha

​As busy women whether at home or at work we can sometimes no matter what ..... still feel 

lonely.




Even if we are surrounded by others, family & colleagues we do not always connect or feel 

accepted, heard or appreciated.
​



When we give ourselves time out to tune in to our spirit and nurture ourselves first we are more 

able to feel nourished & "full" & are able to connect with others at a different level, in a different ​

way.




On this Yoga Retreat to India you will get the chance to connect with a beautiful supportive 

group of women who are ready to share, support & listen.

 


You will feel a part of this Sangha .... community of like minded women who wish to explore, 

​practice, & rest.

​

"Connection is the cure".



​
Feel the support of nourishing connections as we explore, practice & rest.

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.

​"Basunti is a jewel, the kind of magical place that you might spend months

looking for if you were traveling independently through India, and still never

find” – Sunday Telegraph




    

Basunti is a beautiful  private lakeside retreat in the foothills of The Himalayas, in the state of 

Himachal Pradesh in North India and it is surrounded by the waters of the Maharana Pratap 

Sagar.



It is located in the heart of a wildlife reserve and has been developed sympathetically with the

local environment by David & Izzy.



Set in beautiful tropical gardens with orange, mango and papaya trees, Basunti’s spacious rooms

provide comfort combined with amazing views.




David, Izzy & their incredible team at Basunti, go above and beyond to make our stay 

comfortable, engaging and memorable.



We really are looked after very well at Basunti .
