Retreat & Immerse into the path of the Shakta Goddesses of Yoga!!
Evolutionary Women on the Path of Spritual Awakening in the Every Day!
The city of Rishikesh has always been connected to spiritual seekers. Rishi refers to the the ancient Seerer of the Vedic times. These shamans were highly attuned to the sound currents in nature, the earth and Cosmos. To this day, Rishikesh and the surrounding area holds a key to yoga’s Goddess tradition and to the power of mantra itself.
