Retreats
Welcome to Bilva Retreats, where we invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. Our retreats offer a unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern practices, set amidst the breathtaking beauty of India's scenic landscapes. Based out of Hyderabad, we host most of our programs in and around this vibrant city, but we also organize retreats in many powerful kshetras (sacred places) across the country. Whether you choose to join us at our serene Polam farm retreat on the banks of the Divine river Manjeera or any of our other soul-stirring locations, you are sure to find the perfect environment for rejuvenation and growth.

Our retreats offer an array of practices carefully designed to nurture all facets of your life, providing you with a transformative experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and empowered.
If you seek to unlock the potential of your subconscious mind to transform your health, relationships, and financial abundance, then our retreats are tailor-made for you. Our programs draw upon the profound wisdom of Indian knowledge systems that have evolved over millennia. This knowledge offers deep insights into the intricate connection between the body, mind, and spirit, guiding you to navigate life's challenges with ease and grace.

As you embrace our Holistic Harmony: Transform Your Life with Yoga retreat with Ancient Wisdom, you'll dive into the profound philosophy of yoga, viewing the human system as a harmonious composition of the Panchakoshas: Annamaya (physical), Pranamaya (vital), Manomaya (emotional), Vijnanamaya (cognitive), and Anandamaya (bliss). In our fast-paced lives, we often neglect the need for holistic development, focusing solely on material gains. Our retreats help you break free from this limited perspective and embrace a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Through a seamless blend of asanas, pranayama, discussions, self-reflection, and a yogic diet, our programs offer a multi-dimensional experience. You will not only gain physical strength and mental clarity but also emotional resilience and spiritual connection.
During your stay with us, you will delve into the timeless wisdom of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita, gaining emotional clarity and profound insights into the deeper meaning of life. Dharana-based practices will enhance your cognitive abilities, helping you stay focused and mindful in your daily life. Guided meditation and moments of silence will offer you a deeper connection with your inner self, leading to profound inner peace and harmony.
Additionally, our retreats offer glimpses into Ayurvedic principles, enabling you to maintain your well-being through simple yet effective diet and lifestyle choices.
​
Our retreats are open to individuals of all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned practitioners. Our experienced and passionate teachers will guide you through the transformative process, providing personalized attention and support.
