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.
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.

This session, for parents in their second or third trimester, starts with a gentle prenatal yoga class to help you settle into your body, followed by a candid conversation led by a psychologist specializing in women’s reproductive mental health. Together we’ll unpack what postpartum depression actually is, why it happens, the early signs to watch for, and how to build a support plan with your partner or support person before the need ever arises.t.

At its heart, Nurture Nest is about ensuring that no mother has to navigate the fourth trimester alone. By combining evidence-based care with empathy and respect for each family’s unique journey, we aim to raise the standard of postpartum support for families across Kenya.

In our 200-hour teacher training, we offer a multi-style practice that includes Ashtanga Vinyasa and Sivananda. The focus is on asana alignment, hands-on adjustments, the therapeutic benefits of yoga, as well as the philosophy of both yoga and Ayurveda. Expert teachers from the fields of asana, anatomy, physiology, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, and Ayurveda lead the course. For this special training, we bring together the most senior teachers from Rishikesh, held only once a year.Some participants join with the intention of becoming yoga teachers, while others seek a deeper understanding of yoga and Ayurveda or wish to develop a personal practice. To maintain a high quality of teacher-student interaction, class sizes are limited.
