About this trip

I still remember the first time arrived in India. In an instant moment I had to let go of any ideas and conditioned concepts about life and how it should look like.  Surrounded by the vast and powerful Himalayan mountain range, I felt at home in my heart, yet was filled with deep curiosity to explore. I often call the Himalayas my home. Not because it is the most comfortable place to live in (by far not), but it is the most real, raw, spiritual and ancient Yogic place for me to remember who I am. 

This is a journey to the roots of Yogic wisdom.  You will sit by the holy river Ganga and say your prayers, be part of sacred ceremonies, get blessed by vedic priests. You will see magnificent temples, hike in the Himalayas and eat outstanding Indian food. You will deepen your understanding of Yoga as an holistic Art of Living that guides the way to an embodied life. 

Mama India will teach you how to live your life as a prayer. 

Get ready for a journey that will change your life. This is not a Yoga retreat but a pilgrimage to the heart.  It demands openness to dive deep &  look beyond. It involves overcoming challenges, and cultivating patience and compassion. A little closer to our natural way of being, one breath at a time.

With so much love and excitement,

xxx Alexia

About the places we will visit:

Ladakh & Leh

Ladakh, once the hub of the ancient Silk Route, is described as a place where Buddhist spirituality and its ancient culture reign supreme amidst virgin nature. It is a place that makes conscious of a higher power that keeps a benevolent vigil over this Himalayan haven. To me, it is a place that holds power for deep spiritual insight and belonging.

Leh, the capital of Ladakh, is connected by road, open only five months a year due to heavy snowfall. Traveling to Leh feels like a true gift as it opens a treasure box of ancient secrets. You will visit mountain caves, ancient temples and Buddhist monasteries and get inspired by the Indo-Tibetian culture and atmosphere that makes this place just so unforgettable. This will be the first time I take a group with me to Ladakh, make sure to take this unique chance!

Rishikesh & Ganga

Rishikesh is known to be the capital of Yoga. Home of the Rishis (Saints). In no other place in the world you will find so many Ashrams (sacred centers of knowledge, wisdom, devotion & service) and opportunities to deepen your holistic Yoga practice. You will connect with the roots of Yoga by feeling the place, taking barefoot steps on the sacred soil and bathing in the holy river Ganga. We will also visit my teacher Maa Gyaan in her home and enjoy a Satsang by the Ganga. This is an initation into the Yogic path as it is and always has been: A holistic science of life that is gracefully blessed by the art of the divine.

I experienced my first journey to India with Alexia and it was a experience beyond words. Everything was planned out very well and each and every aspect of this Yatra was amazing. If you want to experience India on a deeper level, it is a must to do it with Alexia as she has so much experience and knowledge about India - you can feel the magic for sure. Also Raj is the perfect guide, with a lot of expertise and joy. We had an amazing time together and I felt always super safe and cared for! Thank you Alexia and Raj for this outstanding experience ❤️

Namasté ✨🙏 I can not find the right words to describe this wonderful trip ✨✨ It was definitely a magical and transforming experience with Alexia at Anand Lok at the Ganga River - she made everything possible for us what she could 🥰🙏 you can tell that she has a lot of experience in teaching yoga and holding teacher trainings. But the most important thing is that she puts a lot of love in her work 🥰🧡 The lovely and kind staff from Anand Lok took great care of us. Also, the ayurvedic food was delicious and nutritious so that we had the energy to study and practice yoga during the 22 days of our stay :) I really felt at home and as if I belong here, which is not a thing I experience so easily ✨💕
