An explorative, holistic residential retreat to re-introduce vital elements — nature, yoga, food and play. This time around, in Bandipur!
Nature
Human, meet nature! An opportunity to get acquainted with numerous life-forms, heighten the sensitivity to life and create an understanding and appreciation of interdependence amongst life forms.
Get to enjoy farm trails and pick a fruit or two on the way!
Wildlife & Bird watching
There's something that moves you from within when you see something tremendously powerful or firmly gentle. It's an unforgettable, beautiful, all-encompassing experience that only can be, well, experienced!
Children will explore wildlife safaris in Bandipur National Park.
Farming
To get to understand how food is grown, how many lives it enriches before coming to your plate, and understand how the whole eco-system works in tandem is something to cherish for a lifetime.
You will get to learn basics of Farming — a beautiful system about designing a farm keeping in mind nature!
Yoga
Once a child begins to experiencing the world as one, naturally they will start being more responsible without the need for any morals.
Isha Hatha Yoga (designed by Sadhguru) is a step in the right direction for the physical and mental wellbeing of your child.
Food
Kids will indulge in delicious vegetarian yogic meals comprising of fruits, veggies, and nuts. Whether your kid is addicted to Lays or not, s/he is going to love positive pranic food. Good food doesn't have to be boring and we're tad sure they will ask for such wholesome meals when they get back!
Play
As Sadhguru says, being a sport means you are willing to play. If there is anything that is truly close to a spiritual process, in the normal course of life, that is sports.
Playing a game gives you an understanding that without absolute involvement, you cannot be successful. You have to play as if your life depends on it. For the growth of the children, it is very important that they learn to be playful.
Sharings!
“My batch was first to learn Isha Childrens Yoga specially designed for kids by Sadhguru. Till date I have been practicing it regularly. As a student, it helped to improve my concentration and memory, reduces stress level and gained being calm. My body feels very flexible and light. It helps a lot since I play badminton, in which you need lot of eye and hand coordiation and I feel my game has also improved with regular practice.
Last, but not least, diet there was best, more healthy and delicious. There is lot to explore. I would have definitely missed something more if I hadn't participated. Thank you, Mukul Anna! ”
— Tejal Praveen, Participant
“It was a wonderful experience with Mukul Anna. I wish I could stay connected with him lifelong, for I could learn more yoga and also have fun with him. I also loved the food, yum yum yum! I also had wonderful time with my friends. Before attending this program whenever I closed my eyes I would sleep! Later I learnt to close my eyes and stop myself from sleeping. And I wish that Mukul Anna also enjoyed the program with us. He was the best teacher I have ever ever met in my whole life. Thanks a lot for teaching us yoga and taking care of us like your own children 🙏”
— Diyanta Nair, Participant
“Mukul, you and your team are magic weavers...the kids who would not budge even at 6:30 from bed are waking up voluntarily at 5:30, doing yoga and eating right! In just 2 and a half days they are transformed. I wouldn’t believe it if I had not seen it with my own eyes. Sadhguru’s grace is certainly at work here 🙏🏼”
— Pallavi Mishra, Parent & Principal, Oakridge International School, Bengaluru
“My son Bhavin, took part in the March Srishti Camp. Though he was one of the youngest in the group, he stayed without us for the first time and it was a fantastic experience for him. There have been so many changes in him — he had a lot of anger issues, which has decreased drastically, after doing the practices he does not require long time for studies. He feels more calm and happy.
I feel Yoga is something that every child needs to do to be able to live in this society and to handle well their stress and challenges in their life. Thanks Mukul Anna for this initiative 🙏”
— Pooja Melwani, Parent

Srishti is one of the programs offered by Yogi Re — an initiative started by Mukul to bring at least an element of being a yogi into everyone's life.
Mukul underwent intense teacher training designed by Sadhguru, founder of Isha Foundation, and has personally conducted 350+ workshops across India in the last 8 years, touching over 6000 lives!
