Kuldeep’s yoga journey began with a search for life’s deeper meaning. Leaving behind a conventional path, he traveled across the Himalayas, learned from gurus, and mastered yoga in Kerala’s ashrams. Today, he’s a 500-hour certified teacher with years of experience guiding students worldwide.
During this retreat, Kuldeep will gently teach you Hatha, Vinyasa, and Pranayama—blending ancient techniques with practical wisdom. He believes yoga isn’t just poses; it’s a tool to live peacefully, even off the mat.
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced practitioner, his supportive guidance will help you grow. Expect patient corrections, mindful hikes, and fireside chats about yoga’s life-changing power.
As per Ayurveda, the food is classified into three categories: Rajasic, Sattvic, and Tamasic. If you wish to stay fit and plan to do yoga, meditation, or a spiritual course, then opt for sattvic food. Sattvic food is the best for yogis. It provides you with enough energy to do everyday tasks and focus on your work.
At Atharv Yogshala, we offer yogic and sattvic diets to students. The food is cooked in a clean and hygienic environment with quality ingredients. It will also undoubtedly appeal to your taste buds. You will love to dine with us. Atharv Yogshala offers three times a day freshly cooked meals, herbal tea, and filtered drinking water.
Atharv Yogshala: Atharv Yogshala is certainly the best place to undergo a yoga teacher training course. You can join it for a lifelong experience in the world of yoga. When you are away from your near and dear ones, the things that matter the most are the place where you stay and the meals that you eat.
We provide you with the best in both aspects. Atharv Yogshala's stay and meals are truly based on yogic patterns.
I recently attended the Himalayan hiking retreat and I'm blessed to have
Kuldeep as my
guide and yoga instructor for this experience.
It's very clear that Kuldeep wants to get to know his students better so he can help
them
achieve their goals for the retreat, as evident from his first interaction with me
when he
picked me up from the airport and had a conversation to understand my intentions for
this
retreat.
Even though I was the only person attending this retreat, he went ahead with the
programme
which shows how genuine he is in helping the people who applied for this retreat
seeking
guidance and clarity, and I'm very grateful that he did as my experiences were much
more
fulfilling when you have someone sincere and knowledgeable assisting you in this
retreat.
Having a well planned programme definitely helps ease the worries for anyone who
doesn't
have the time to plan their own itinerary, and I would like to thank the staff at
Auro
Valley Ashram and Mystic Kailasha for their work in running the places well for
their
visitors.
I would strongly recommend anyone looking for an escape from the chaos and
complications of
their lives to have this incredible experience with Kuldeep and his team, and will
look
forward to coming back during the winter for another meaningful memory.
Thank you Kuldeep and have a blissful and blessed wedding!
In March 2025, I was able to do the yoga and hiking retreat with Kuldeep and Arthav
Yogshala. The experience is hard to put into words, but I'll try anyway. First of
all, I would like to emphasize that both Kuldeep and Lisa do everything possible to
ensure that participants feel comfortable and lack nothing. The ashram, where you
are accommodated in Rishikesh, the world capital of yoga, leaves nothing to be
desired, offers great opportunities to find peace and quiet, and is also beautifully
located.
The highlights were definitely the day hikes in the Himalayas. The
nature,
the views, and the entire atmosphere are indescribably beautiful and an
unforgettable experience for everyone. Kuldeep, who leads the hikes, is also clearly
passionate about what he does and has a deep and intimate connection to the sacred
mountains and lakes that you visit there. I can only recommend this retreat to
anyone seeking self-discovery, peace, connection with nature, great people, and much
more. You'll enjoy it... just like I did.
Lisa and Kuldeep are just incredible human beings! So kind and genuine . I left my time at their yoga retreat feeling like an honorary member of their family! That’s how well I was taken care of and I was the only person on the retreat I booked. They are SO organised and care SO much about your experience. These are people who put the money secondary to your wellbeing and want to share their beautiful world with you in a welcoming and enchanting way. Honestly, just book it and stop procrastinating! The retreats and YTC courses are amazing.
A Safe and Majestic Himalayan Adventure for Solo Female TravelersMy Himalayan retreat was an unforgettable journey of safety, adventure, and breathtaking beauty. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely cared for, with attentive guides leading me to hidden gems known only to locals. The highlight was witnessing the majestic Himalayan mountains—no words can capture their awe-inspiring beauty. Seeing them with my own eyes was humbling and deeply spiritual. This retreat was more than a trip; it was a life-changing experience I’d recommend to any woman seeking adventure and self-discovery.
Started the New Year of 2025 at the Himalayan and Yoga Retreat! It was a perfect way to begin a new year and a truly fantastic experience. We hiked wonderful mountains, visited many temples, dove into yoga practice and learned about Indian culture. Kuldeep and Lisa anre amazing hosts and I am so grateful for the opportunity to enjoy this experience with them and the other sweet attendees. Highly recommended and hope I can come back again soon. Love love love
