Spiritual Journey to the Motherland
A trip to India can be life-changing. It’s wild, exhilarating, opening and most and foremost, transforming. You have the chance to re-align, re-centre and retreat in a space that will show you wonder, appreciation and a true sense of belonging.
Join Alexia & Gabi to the birth place of Yoga and explore the beauty of Rishikesh in the foothills of the Himalayas. Anchor in your spiritual practice, visit sacred sites and enjoy traditional Vedic ceremonies. The Ganga Sadhana Yatra (sadhana= spiritual practice, Yatra = spiritual journey) will take you to beautiful, scenic and incredibly inspiring places along the sacred river Ganges. You will sit with Masters, learn from nature and be mesmerized by colors, art, stories and people living the Yogic tradition.
Alexia & Gabi will be guiding this experience with specially crafted Yoga classes, Mantra, Breath and wisdom circles. At the end of our exploration we will also be enjoying 3 days of the International Yoga Festival- the world’s most revered and special Yoga festival at the banks of the river Ganges.
Get ready for a journey hOMe that will change your life.

Testimonials
experienced my first journey to India with Alexia and it was an experience beyond words. Everything was planned out very well and each and every aspect of this Yatra was amazing. If you want to experience India on a deeper level, it is a must to do it with Alexia as she has so much experience and knowledge about India – you can feel the magic for sure. Also Raj is the perfect guide, with a lot of expertise and joy. We had an amazing time together and I felt always super safe and cared for! Thank you Alexia and Raj for this outstanding experience ❤️

Shakti Yatra India 2024The Yatra was my first journey to India alone and i was kind of scared to go. Both Alexia and Raj made this trip just perfect tough. We had so many great and special experiences and activities like vedic ceremonies, temple and arti visits, crossing the ganga by boat and so much more. We had unique and deep experiences that will always keep a special place in my heart. The accommodations and the food were just amazing and the whole trip was perfectly organised. Lots of love for you.

India Yatra- Fairytale Journey to the Heart 2022Diving into spiritual India was really a journey to the heart. Seeing the devotion of Indian people and diving into sacred rituals makes you finding the sacredness within yourself and the group. We traveled caring for each other, meeting on a heart level. Alexia not only brings wonderful likeminded people together, she shows you the India she loves and you can feel that. India was one of my favourite trips ever and my heart is full. Definitely not my last India Yatra with yogalexia and ALKEMY Travel. Thank you 💗🙏🏻

Yatra is a sanskrit word and means “spiritual journey” or pilgrimage. I have called my India journeys Yatras because they are fundamentally different to Retreats. We are traveling a lot, visiting sacred sites, temples and spiritual homes. We will do daily spiritual practices and hold our energy and intentions high. This is not a trip to relax, but a deep encounter with yourself and a country that has ancient roots of wisdom and will empower you to see beyond the veils.
It requires you to be open, accepting, loving and welcoming. It might take you to your limits, yet only to discover that your mind is your only limit. India helps us expand and grow. Be open and you shall receive.

You may book your International Return flight to Delhi. Please do make sure that you arrive before 2pm on Arrival Day to be able to join the Opening Circle without stress.

Yes, we are sending out a packing list with the confirmation of your space on the Retreat.
Yes, some cash is always recommended. While this is an all-inclusive trip, you might want to buy souvenirs and gifts in the markets and also tip our guides. Best you exchange cash right at the airport so you do not need to worry later as we are on a tightly timed adventure trip. You may also exchange more cash at the hotel in Rishikesh. There are also ATM’s /cash machines around (some work, some don’t).
While India is quite colorful and open when it comes to dress code, there are certain standards to follow especially when visiting temples and sacred sites.
Make sure to pack clothes that are not black in color, long sleeves (below shoulders) and lose pants or skirts (below knees). You can also use shawl to wrap around your waist, head or shoulders when you enter a temple site.
If you do not have clothes that suit this trip, do not worry, come in comfortable outfits and i will take you to the markets on day one. You can get India clothes for a cheap price at the local markets and they will serve you for many India trips to come 🙂
