Spend nine focused days on the mat at The Satsang Foundation’s Madanapalle ashram. This retreat isn’t for casual drop-ins; it’s for dedicated practitioners and teachers who want to test their edge and polish every posture. Long practice sessions, precise adjustments, and breath-led inquiry will challenge the body while steady silence around the campus turns that effort inward. You’ll work hard, sweat plenty, and leave with a sharper practice—and a clearer sense of the self that moves beneath it.
