Yoga Retreat
Basunti, Himachal Pradesh, India
3rd-12th October 2026
Join Bridget for a yoga retreat in a wildlife sanctuary in the Himalayan foothills. Yoga in India is always a magical experience. Basunti, makes it special. Set in beautiful tropical gardens with oranges, mango and papaya trees, yoga at Basunti is the perfect way to unwind, relax and reclaim yourself.
What you can expect over the week:
An early meditation practice followed by an energizing flow practice to get the day started. In the afternoon Bridget will hold informal philosophy sessions sharing the teachings of non-dual tantra. These teachings have helped Bridget throughout her life - taking yoga off of the mat and into everyday life - offering support and guidance. In the evening there will be pranayama, yoga nidra or somatic practices setting you up for a good nights sleep.
Classes are held either in the circular, shaded yoga shala in the garden or on the roof terrace with a 360° panoramic view of the lake and Himalayan mountains. The atmosphere at sunrise and sunset can be magical.
There is plenty of time for swimming (in the pool or local lake!), bird watching, and exploring the local area.
Your accommodation and food:
You’ll be sleeping in simple twin-bedded terraced rooms each with their own bathroom, private entrance and balcony. The main house with its large shaded veranda is divided into two distinctive self contained maisonettes. The kitchen at Basunti, under the direction of Dave Butterworth (a founder member of Neal’s Yard bakery) produces a mouth-watering array of both European and local vegetarian dishes, wholewheat breads and pastries, fresh juices from its fruit trees and the option of fresh line caught fish from the lake for non vegetarians.
