The Deep Reset

Take a deep breath and land at the foot of the snow-capped Dhauladhar mountains.

This March 7–13th, 2027, join us for a journey to step away from the noise, slow down, and deeply reset your entire being. Nestled at The Mirage, a heritage sanctuary in the village of Andretta, India, this retreat is an invitation to unplug from the modern world and plug back into yourself. Over seven nurturing days, our time together will blend the profound practices of yoga, ancient Ayurveda, somatic movement, and nervous system regulation. It is a dedicated space to rest, digest, and heal.

This retreat is a heart-led collaboration co-facilitated by besties and seasoned guides: Elouise (Lakshya), a yoga teacher with over 16 years of experience and 27 retreats worldwide, and Mel, an Ayurvedic practitioner & teacher, founder of The School of Integrative Ayurveda, and an expert in polyvagal theory (nervous system reset) , somatics, and trauma-informed healing.

Together, we weave ancient wisdom with modern nervous system science to nourish you on every level.

Our vision is to create a soft, deeply safe harbor where you can strip away the layers of daily stress, melt into your body, and receive the ultimate gift of true restoration - leaving you feeling profoundly reset, stretched and beautifully reconnected to yourself.

The Venue: The Mirage

The Mirage is a boutique heritage homestay tucked away in the legendary Andretta artists' village. Nestled under the the snow-capped Dhauladhar range in Himachal Pradesh, this isn't just a venue - it is a time capsule, a living museum, and a deeply peaceful sanctuary designed for restoration.

Originally built in 1948, The Mirage is crafted entirely from traditional local mud bricks, bamboo, and rich deodar wood. Lovingly restored into an inviting eco-retreat, the estate blends heritage rustic charm with quiet luxury.

Between our sessions, you can wander through manicured secret gardens, sit by the outdoor pool reflecting the mountains, or lose yourself in a cozy lounge filled with hand-picked Indian antiques and vintage black-and-white photography.

There are 3 cottages in the property, with a total of 10 double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

The Food: Nourishment from the Earth

At The Mirage, meals are treated as an extension of our practice - grounding, mindful, and incredibly flavorful. The heart of the property is the cozy dining room and adjoining open verandah, where we will gather family-buffet style to share stories, laugh, and connect.

• Morning Fuel: featuring house-baked bread, fresh juices, fruit salads, muesli with yogurt, homemade jams, farm eggs, and rotating traditional Indian breakfast specialties (like paranthas or chillas) paired with freshly ground coffee and authentic masala chai.

• Nourishing Lunches: Wholesome, vegetarian meals made from locally sourced produce and fresh vegetables plucked straight from the estate's own gardens. On one special afternoon, we will experience a traditional Himachali Dhaam - a spectacular local festive feast.

• Soulful Dinners that rotate through hearty international fare, from comforting Continental bakes and pastas to fresh Thai, Chinese, and outdoor barbecue grills, always completed with a homemade cake or pie.

Getting There

While Andretta feels blissfully remote, reaching our mountain sanctuary is straightforward. To make your journey as smooth and connected as possible, we have a recommended travel plan so we can all arrive together.

Our Recommended Route (Travel Together)

• Step 1: Arrive in New Delhi on March 6th. We highly recommend flying into New Delhi (DEL) the day before the retreat begins and staying the night at an airport hotel. This ensures you are rested and ready for our mountain journey.

Testimonials

"Lakshya's Yoga is like coming home for me. Her relaxed teaching, her diversified classes, creative asanas, accurate guidance and beautiful chantings make her an amazing yoga teacher to me. Her points of view, her authenticity, her openness, thoughtfulness and spirituality make her an appreciated friend."

"Lakshya is an incredible teacher. Her knowledge and her teachings bring so much to her classes. The retreat was thoughtfully designed with a wonderfully calming space and incredible food. It all made up an absolutely perfect week and if you have the opportunity, go for it. You won’t regret the time invested into yourself."

"The 'Shanti' Retreat with Lakshya was absolutely that - a haven of peace, restoration and connection. Lakshya's classes were the perfect way to start the day with grounding yoga practices and pranayama and meditation. The evening Yin session was heavenly and Lakshya was so attentive and nurturing with each of the participants. It was wonderful to experience more authentic practices such as Vedic chanting and Mantras."

"This retreat was my 6th retreat with Lakshya, and it was a very special experience for me, again. Lakshya has this amazing ability to create a magic space and hold it for a whole week. I got to know another amazing spot on earth. I learned new things about myself. Foreigners became close friends. The connection to my body became deeper and stronger. Especially my abs got an intense training because of some unforgettable laugh attacks."
