Our methodology
Five criteria. No exceptions.
Every retreat is assessed against these standards — developed over years of personal practice. If a retreat fails even one, it doesn't appear. Regardless of how popular or well-marketed.
Read the full methodology → 01
Qualified teachers
Minimum 500-hr certification from a recognised lineage with 3+ years active teaching.
02
Appropriate setting
Accommodation safety, group dynamics, teacher style, and cultural context assessed.
03
Honest, all-in pricing
Listed price covers accommodation, all meals, and all yoga sessions. Hidden costs = disqualification.
04
Verified track record
Evidence of 20+ genuine attendee reviews, or personal assessment visit by our editorial team.
05
Practice substance
Real daily schedules, teacher lineage, and evidence of serious sustained practice — not aesthetics.

What practitioners say
★★★★★
"I've done retreats across four continents. This is the only directory that genuinely understands what serious practitioners need — substance, lineage, and no hidden costs."
Priya M.
London · Rishikesh, 7 days
★★★★★
"The Kerala recommendation was exactly what I needed. The level of detail — what's included, teacher's lineage, what to budget — meant zero surprises on arrival."
Claire B.
Toronto · Kerala, 10 days
★★★★★
"Most yoga sites feel like they're selling a holiday. This feels like advice from someone who actually practises. I'll never book a retreat any other way."
Sofía R.
