Pause. Reflect. Transform.

3 Day Immersive Breathwork, Meditation & Culinary Retreat

This retreat welcomes everyone—no prior physical yoga experience is required. Just curiosity and a strong desire to learn and discover self. We will start with the basics, building a solid foundation for your journey. 

  • Transform Your Life from Within

    We often attempt to change our lives by addressing problems at surface levels, only to find ourselves stuck in repetitive patterns. This happens because we try to change our thoughts using affirmations, focusing on the psychological layer. However, thoughts originate from a biological process, not a psychological phenomenon. 

  • Go Deeper

    Outcomes in life are the result of actions, and actions stem from thoughts. Thoughts, in turn, arise from the electrical activity of synapses connecting neurons in the brain. This activity is profoundly influenced by the vibrational state of the body.To change the psychology, you have to first change the biology.

  • The Solution

    By aligning your internal vibrations through breath, awareness, and a mindful diet, this practice empowers you to influence your thoughts organically, reshape your actions, and ultimately transform your reality.

very thoughtful and patient teacher.

The ITY program that Harish has created is a thorough and methodical approach to ancient breathing techniques. With this practice, I’ve learned to pay attention to my breath as I move through my daily life. It helps me stay attuned to my thoughts and feelings that arise as life happens. Harish is a very thoughtful and patient teacher. He has a wealth of knowledge about pranayama, its physiological benefits to the body and how it brings about a positive change in one’s thoughts and outlook. He is more than happy to repeatedly clarify and explain in depth any questions that come his way. He is an excellent guide through my practice daily. ITY helps me connect the dots in my life - from reacting to responding. If you stick with this program, you will most certainly see a change in you and how you move in your life!

Amazing Experience that Provided me with Clarity and Peace

I just returned from this amazing weekend retreat. Like many people I was under a lot of stress and looking for clarity, uncertain aspects of my future relationships, career, etc.

I had recently watched the movie “Eat, Pray Love“. if you haven’t seen it, I would recommend it. Julia Roberts is searching for clarity and takes a trip to India, where she learns breathing techniques, meditation, etc.

While I enjoyed the movie, which is based on a true story, a trip to India is just not feasible for me. But thanks to the universe, India came to me! I met Harish through this website. Having read the reviews, looking at his website and retreat offerings, it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for.

I found this to be an amazing experience that provided me with clarity and peace. The website and course online as a guide to continue to practice at home are a resource I will definitely use.

I also opted to complete the astrology chart, which provided valuable insights into my own behavior patterns. This will allow me to reflect and make choices differently based on this information. Harish is a great host, instructor, and cook. I enjoyed the cooking lessons as well.

Accommodations were clean and comfortable. His home is set in a very peaceful setting, allowing for a wonderful space for quiet reflection.

Harish is an Amazing Person and Teacher

I wanted to get away from personal and professional stressors and to learn a discipline that will help me navigate life more peacefully.

I liked that it is geared to just 1 to 2 people at a time, so the instructor can devote more time to his students.

After attending this retreat, I've continued the practice at home. I've noticed how much calmer I feel after practicing the breathing techniques.

I learned a practice that I can easily continue at home, and should I need further instructions, Harish makes himself available to offer guidance when needed.

Harish is an amazing person and teacher. He is very approachable, he explains the practice in a manner that makes sense. He has a passion for teaching, is a strong communicator, he is very engaging and empathetic, not to mention a great cook!

Amazing Retreat

I wanted to deepen my breathwork and meditation practice.

It offered an intimate environment to learn and reset. It included silence for most of the retreat which is crucial for resetting and focus.

The morning breathwork (Shat Kriya) is energizing and brings to life my morning routine. Vasi Yoga helped me go deep into my breathwork. I left the retreat excited to continue the practice in my daily life!

Harish is great! He developed an amazing program combining the essential aspects of his teachings into an accelerated program.
Harish invited us into his home and provided comfort, great food, and a wealth of knowledge!!
