Journey to the Motherland ~ India Retreat

Join Mollie and the Jala Yoga India team on an unforgettable adventure through the country she calls ‘home.’ Having lived, worked, and traveled across India annually (sometimes twice a year) for nearly a decade, Mollie knows this land intimately—its rhythms, its hidden gems, and the safest ways to experience its beauty.

Having spent years running tours, you’ll travel with confidence, guided by Mollie and her trusted local friends, teachers, and community who make up Jala Yoga’s India branch. This isn’t just another retreat—it’s an authentic, deeply immersive experience, crafted with love, care, and a decade of local knowledge.

Why Travel with Jala Yoga India?
✔ Safety & Expertise – Travel with someone who knows India inside and out, ensuring a smooth, secure, and enriching experience.
✔ A Local’s Perspective – Meet Mollie’s friends, teachers, and favorite places for a truly authentic experience.
✔ Cultural & Spiritual Immersion – Learn the best food on the menu to order, speak Hindi, practice Yoga with Mollie’s teacher, and explore the real, breathtaking India beyond the tourist trail.

Whether it’s your first time in India or you’re returning for more, you’ll feel safe, supported, and deeply connected every step of the way.
