2026 India Retreat with Kanga Yoga
RETURN TO YOUR PRACTICE. MAKE SPACE FOR YOURSELF.
Join Emma Bonnici in Rishikesh, in the foothills of the Himalayas, for an immersive journey into yoga and the living traditions of India.
There is something special about taking time to practise in a place where yoga is woven into daily life. The sound of temple bells, the flow of the Ganges and the evening rituals invite you to slow down, pay attention and explore what your practice means beyond the mat.
Our days bring together Kanga Yoga, breathwork, meditation and time to rest. With Emma’s thoughtful, alignment-based teaching, you will have space to explore familiar postures more deeply, ask questions and develop a practice that supports your body. Philosophy and reflection bring another dimension to the experience, connecting what we practise with how we live.
Beyond our sessions, we will explore the beauty and spiritual heritage of Rishikesh, with time for shared experiences, quiet moments and connection with the people around you.
You do not need to be able to do advanced postures to join. Come with curiosity and a willingness to explore, whether you are finding your way into yoga or returning to a practice you have loved for years.
If you have been longing for time to yourself, deeper guidance in your practice or the chance to experience India with a small, welcoming group, we would love to have you with us.
Join us in India. Enquire now to find out more and reserve your place.

Remember Who You Are Sound Bath with Neal Dodhia
SATURDAY 17TH OCTOBER 5.30 – 6.45 PM | 3,500
A journey back to yourself, beneath the roles, expectations and external noise.
Join Neal Dodhia for a deeply immersive sound bath designed to create space for you to pause, soften and reconnect with the part of yourself that exists beneath the noise of everyday life. Through the resonant vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls and gongs, Neal will create a soothing and immersive soundscape to support deep relaxation, presence and inner connection. As the sounds move through the space, allow yourself to release the roles you carry, the expectations you hold and the constant demands of the outside world. This experience is an invitation to turn your attention inward and remember who you are beyond what you do, how others see you, or what is expected of you. Come as you are. Settle in, close your eyes and allow the vibrations to create space for stillness, reflection and reconnection. For a moment, there is nothing to become, nothing to prove and nothing to figure out. Simply an opportunity to return to yourself.
