“This retreat has been more than just training, it has been an awakening. The peaceful surroundings by the Ganges River and the guidance of Burkhard and Astrid helped me shift from fear to confidence. I’ve gained insights that go beyond the yoga practice and am leaving with a deeper connection to myself.
I truly feel like a new person, ready to shine and share what I’ve learned..”
Sarah from the UK
“Arriving at the Ashram near the Ganga River was a sacred experience, especially during our time bathing in the green waters. A silent day revealed deep emotions and inner gems. The lectures were profound, rooted in sacred texts and yoga philosophy, delivered with full heart by Astrid and Burkhard.
This experience, along with all the little pieces of India, will stay in my heart forever”
Marie Celine from Switzerland
“Coming to India, with fellow yogis from around the world has been an amazing journey of learning about myself, my ego, and how to let go. I’ve received tools I need to dig through the mud and see the lotus. I am deeply grateful for everyone I’ve met and will continue to meet on this life journey.
As I return home, I bring the tools and wisdom Akasha has given me to share with my community. Thank you for walking the talk and teaching me how to do the same.”
