Snow Lion Yoga Retreat — Kundalini Retreat

Why we list it

Snow Lion Yoga Retreat has established a consistent record across multiple programme cohorts. Dharamsala — specifically McLeod Ganj — is the seat of the Tibetan Government in Exile and residence of the Dalai Lama. The presence of the Tibetan community, monastery culture, and depth of Buddhist scholarship creates a meditation environment unlike anywhere else in India.

The operator’s teaching credentials are real: Kundalini / Tibetan Hatha. The lineage — undefined — is documented and traceable, not invented for marketing purposes.

The practice

Kundalini kriyas — specific sequences of asana, pranayama, mudra and mantra — are the technology of this practice. Each kriya has a documented physiological effect; the teacher works through a progressive series across the week.

Sessions run twice daily. The morning practice opens the body and builds heat; the evening session completes the arc. The sequence across the week is deliberate — not the same class repeated seven times.

Setting and logistics

Maximum 10 guests per programme, which is small enough to guarantee individual teacher attention and large enough to support genuine group dynamics.

Who it suits

Practitioners who want to practice seriously in a setting that earns its environment. The combination of destination, teaching lineage, and group size creates conditions that a local studio class cannot replicate.

Pricing note

Pricing includes accommodation and all meals for the full programme duration. Transfer costs from the nearest international airport are not included — budget accordingly.
