Jaipur & Pushkar , India November 20-29, 2026
Listen & Learn yoga & Service based retreat
This once in a lifetime volunteer-based yoga retreat in Jaipur, India offers a meaningful opportunity to deepen your practice while connecting with local community initiatives in one of India’s most vibrant and historic cities. Mornings begin with grounding yoga and meditation sessions rooted in mindfulness and self-study, followed by opportunities to volunteer with local schools, women’s programs, and a healthcare center for underserved community members. Surrounded by the colors, architecture, and rich culture of the Pink City, participants are invited to slow down, serve with intention, and experience a more authentic connection to India beyond traditional tourism.
Midway through the retreat, the group journeys to the sacred town of Pushkar, known for its tranquil lake, desert landscapes, and deeply spiritual atmosphere. In Pushkar, participants can enjoy sunrise yoga, explore local markets and temples, and taking time to roam the less busy streets found in this city which is well known for both it’s camels and abundance of excuisite textiles. This side trip offers a peaceful contrast to Jaipur’s energy and creates space for rest, integration, and inspiration before returning home renewed, grounded, and connected to a greater sense of purpose.

After 20 years of working with these communities we all know each other well and work towards creating an in need offering based off of who signs up and what is needed. We will ALL work together by having a few in person or virtual meetings before hand to see what skill sets are available within our group.
In past years we have organized group vision and dental care projects with local and volunteer doctors. Our volunteers have worked to take notes and organize the community.
We’ve also done clean up trash projects, nutrition lectures, created field days for under served schools and more.
If you are thinking “what can I possibly do?” I promise our volunteers have ranged from 12-80 years old, from students, artists, dancers, doctors lawyers and everything in between. We promise we will help you to cultivate your purpose and connect in meaningful ways!n text goes here
