Settle into the altitude with rest and an intentional Opening Circle
Arrival and check-in at Ladakh Serai. Come together for the Opening Circle with Jenil — a gentle introduction to the retreat, the practice, and each other.

Into the Practice
Your first full morning session with Jenil — asana, pranayama, and breath-led movement as the sun rises over the Himalayas. Return for lunch at Ladakh Sarai. An evening yoga and meditation session with Jenil closes the day.

Pangong Lake Day Trip
An early start — tea, light breathwork, and breakfast before the group sets off for Pangong Lake. Arrive at Pangong — one of the world's highest saltwater lakes, stretching across the India-China border in a shimmer of impossible blue. Return to Ladakh Sarai as the light fades.

Integration & Closing Circle
A final morning yoga session with Jenil. Lunch together, and then the Closing Circle — a meditation and sharing session with Jenil where the retreat finds its natural completion. A bonfire evening with music under the Ladakhi sky — the retreat's final gathering.
