India, the birthplace of yoga, is where meditation originated, too. After all, both practices are inextricably intertwined.
Meditation is a way of life and an integral part of the country’s culture. It is also at the core of every yoga and spiritual retreat in India. Therefore, this is perhaps the best place on earth to deepen your meditation practice through authentic techniques, just as they were originally taught thousands of years ago.
Leave the familiar behind and embrace simplicity, silence, tranquility, and peace, without distractions. India offers an ideal setting to experience deep meditation and shift your perspective. But if you’re new to meditation, you shouldn’t worry – there are many meditation retreats for beginners in India where you can dive into the practice.
Overall, a meditation retreat is about being. Being present and being truest yourself. At the same time, a meditation retreat in India is a great opportunity to combine cultural travel and outdoor activities with mindfulness practices. During your retreat, you may also visit ashrams, Buddhist temples, and monasteries, remote villages, and even go hiking in the foothills of the Himalayas.
