Bhaktī Yoga is the yoga of the heart. The path of surrender. Of seeing the Divine not just in temples, but in the smile of a stranger, the river you sit beside, and the emotions that arise in any given moment.
To walk the path of Bhaktī is to move through life with grace and intention, to lead from the heart, and to feel the pull towards something truer, and be courageous enough to follow it.
There’s something about being in India that cuts through the mental clutter.
These sacred lands have a way of reflecting your essence back to you, without the roles, expectations, or the performance we default to in daily life. It shows you who you are underneath it all.
A pilgrimage is a deliberate removal from the familiar patterns that keep the mind in charge of everything.
When you step onto land that has been prayed on, walked on, wept on, and surrendered to for thousands of years, your energetic body doesn’t get to pretend it’s unaffected. It becomes the catalyst for change.
What is a pilgrimage?
Temples are sanctified spaces that aren’t just pretty and symbolic, they’re extremely functional. Built on precise energetic points and charged through centuries of ritual, devotion, mantra, and presence, temples act like battery packs that store energy. When we enter these temples, that energy is transferred into us.
On an energetic level, this stirs the prāṇa (life force) out of its usual loops. Old karmic grooves; those unconscious habits, reactions, and identities we keep replaying, start to loosen.
The field you’re in, the practices you are doing, the people you are surrounding yourself with during this experience, it’s all effortlessly stronger than your mind games. India has a way of gently, and sometimes hilariously bluntly, short-circuiting the stories you’ve been telling yourself, and this is where transformation begins.
P.S How beautiful is our morning practice location in Haridwar!!
Devotion in India is a real antidote to modern overwhelm. It’s not dramatic, it’s steady and consistent, integrated in a way that actually changes something inside you.
The sacred temples, the circuit breaker of daily routine, the kindness of strangers and ceremony infused in everything… it all works on your nervous system without you needing to force anything.
If you sense that something inside is calling for renewal. Maybe life’s felt a little loud. Maybe old patterns have been feeling loud. Maybe you’ve been moving so fast you can’t quite hear your own inner voice anymore?
This experience doesn’t send you back as someone that you aren’t, it sends you back as a truer YOU. Expect a quieter mind, a deeper inner knowing, and a heard-led steadiness that allows you to move through life with grace.
Saying yes to India is actually saying yes to:
•Discovering new parts of yourself
•Learning to trust the next step even if it’s unknown
•Letting Curiosity lead instead of fear
•Expanding your capacity for love, adventure, awe and spicy food
•Letting your heart unclench after years of guarding
•Remembering what devotion feels like
• Choosing a dharmic way of living
• Feeling the sacred pulse of life again
• Being seen by the world
•No longer postponing your dreams
•Courage that finally feels louder than doubt
• Rewriting the next chapter from a place of inner knowing
• Opening to abundance without apologising
• Choosing yourself, fully
Where are we going on this pilgrimage?
Over 10 nights and 11 days, we will journey to four sacred towns:
Rishikesh, Haridwar, Nainital and Kainchi Dham
There’s a steady, grounding energy in Rishikesh. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, the town has this calm undercurrent, you can feel a quiet Shiva presence here.
Devotion isn’t something you have to go looking for in this place, watching how locals relate to the water is its own teaching in living with intention and sincerity.
This is where our pilgrimage begins.
Three days to land, ground, and settle into the energy of this country through Kriya, Breathwork, Yoga Asana, and Mantra. We’ll also explore temples, visit ancient meditation caves, and take part in Puja and Yagya ceremonies + so much more.
Notable Exploration: Opening Yagya Fire Ceremony, Beatles Ashram, Vashishta Cave, Practicing yoga by Ma Ganga river, Mala Making Workshop, Ganga Aarti Evening Ceremony, Gayatri Puja
Rishikesh:
Haridwar:
Haridwar is full-power devotion. You just step right into the heart of it.
Our time in Haridwar will be centred around the Divine Mother energy of Shree Shree Anandamayi Ma.
Anandamayi Ma was one of India’s most respected female saints, not because she set out to be anything special, but because her presence affected people in a way they couldn’t explain. She lived an incredibly simple life, yet carried a depth of stillness and compassion that drew people from all over the world.
Staying at her ashram in Haridwar will give you a direct experience of this: a place built around presence, simplicity, and quiet inner strength.
Notable Exploration: Famous Har Ki Pauri for Ganga Aarti, Anandamayi Ma’s Ashram, Optional Sacred dip in Ganga, Kirtan, Kriya Practice, Visiting Shakti Peeth Devi Temple
In Kainchi Dham, we will spend our time at the home of Neem Karoli Baba, often called Maharaj-ji.
Maharaj-ji was a highly respected Indian saint known for again, his simplicity, his humour, and the way he taught through presence more than words. His whole approach was practical: love everyone, serve everyone, and remember God.
He’s also the guru of Krishna Das and Ram Dass, two people who helped share his teachings with the West.

Notable Exploration: Neeb Karoli Baba Ashram, Evening Kirtan, Naina Devi Temple, Seva
