what to expect 

daily yoga 

Daily Yoga classes thoughtfully curated and designed with the surroundings in mind. Each practice invites a balance of movement, breath, and stillness, offering space to build energy, release tension, and reconnect inward. The intention is to support a deep sense of presence, allowing the environment to guide and enhance the overall experience.

nourishing, locally inspired meals 

Savor fresh, multi course meals made with locally sourced ingredients. Following the ancient wisdom of the Vedas, the chefs at Haramara believe that every meal should be like a ceremony to life and that food should be beautifully presented, nutritionally balanced and healing through its fresh ingredients.

adventure & exploration 

Explore winding trails on a hike through Monkey Mountain, surrounded by breathtaking vistas and the vibrant energy of nature. Participate in a traditional Temazcal ceremony, a time-honored ritual that cleanses the body and rejuvenates the spirit. In addition to these experiences, a variety of specially designed events are offered throughout your stay, each thoughtfully curated to enhance your adventure and leave you feeling inspired, refreshed, and fully present. 

connection & personal space

This retreat is designed for balance. It offers meaningful connections with a supportive, like-minded community while also providing plenty of space for personal reflection, rest, and renewal.
