About Our Yoga Retreat
Yoga Styles
At Shanti-Som, we offer a range of yoga styles to suit every level and preference. Our experienced instructors tailor each session to the group and individual, ensuring you get exactly what you need from your practice.
Hatha Yoga
A gentle, foundational practice focusing on basic postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. Perfect for beginners and those seeking a slower, more mindful approach.
Vinyasa Flow
A dynamic, flowing style that links breath with movement. Sessions build heat and strength while maintaining mindfulness and grace.
Yin Yoga
A slow, meditative practice where poses are held for several minutes to target deep connective tissues. Ideal for releasing tension and improving flexibility.
Restorative Yoga
Using props and supported poses, restorative yoga allows the body to fully relax and heal. Perfect for stress relief and recovery.
Ashtanga
A rigorous, structured practice following a set sequence of postures. Recommended for experienced practitioners seeking a physical challenge.
Meditation
Meditation is an integral part of the Shanti-Som yoga retreat experience and is held twice a day. Our guided sessions help quiet the mind, reduce stress, and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself.
We offer various meditation techniques including guided visualisation, mindfulness meditation, loving-kindness (metta) meditation, and breath awareness practices. Whether you are new to meditation or have an established practice, our instructors will guide you to a place of inner peace and clarity.
Morning meditation sessions take place in our dedicated outdoor meditation space, surrounded by the sounds of nature and the fresh mountain air (weather permitting).
Breathwork
Pranayama, or breath control, is a powerful tool for calming the nervous system and enhancing your yoga practice. Our breathwork sessions introduce you to techniques that you can continue to use long after your retreat.
Techniques include Ujjayi (victorious breath), Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), Kapalabhati (skull-shining breath), and Box Breathing. Each technique serves a different purpose — from energising and cleansing to calming and balancing.
Our instructors explain the science behind each technique, ensuring you understand not just how to practice, but why these ancient methods are so effective.
Spa & Treatments
Complement your yoga practice with our extensive spa menu. From deep-tissue massages to Ayurvedic treatments, our therapists use a combination of traditional and modern techniques to restore balance to body and mind.
Our spa facilities include a heated outdoor pool, sauna, and Turkish steam room.
Each yoga retreat guest receives one complimentary 60-minute treatment per 3 nights booked. Additional treatments can be booked on-site.
Nutrition
Nourishing food is central to the retreat experience. Our chef prepares three healthy meals daily using fresh, local, and organic ingredients wherever possible.
Menus are designed to support your yoga practice — light yet satisfying, with an emphasis on whole grains, seasonal vegetables, lean proteins, and superfoods. We cater to all dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
Guests also have the option to book a nutrition consultation for personalised dietary advice that extends beyond the retreat.
Accommodation
Shanti-Som offers 15 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, each designed as a serene retreat within the retreat. Rooms feature natural materials, calming colour palettes, and views of the mountains or gardens. We prioritise simplicity and authenticity, creating a space where you can relax freely and comfortably.
Room categories include Classic Rooms, Superior Rooms with private terraces, and our spacious Suite with a separate living area. All rooms include air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, luxury toiletries, and plush robes and slippers.
