Pause. Reflect. Transform.
Most people arrive at this retreat because the mind won't stop talking. Or because they've been so absorbed in the day-to-day that they haven't had the space to step back and see what's actually happening.
This retreat is designed to create that space — and introduce a precise technique that allows clarity to emerge, rather than be forced.
The reset comes from a simple breathing sequence. In this retreat, that sequence is called AOM Pranayama, built on Vāsi Yoga — a breath-centered discipline focused on stillness through precision, not effort.
The practice leads the nervous system into gamma coherence — a measurable state of integrated brain activity. EEG scans are used to observe this shift directly.

Real-Time Meditation Feedback with EEG Brainwave Monitoring
We'll begin by measuring your brainwaves during your current meditation or breathwork routine — whatever that looks like today. Then, after practicing the ancient Shakti Pranayama technique, we'll scan again. This powerful before-and-after reveals the gap between modern practice and how ancient yogis accessed meditative states — giving you clear feedback, real correction, and confidence to continue at home.
Verbal guidance can often lead to misunderstandings, but by seeing your brainwave patterns before and after practicing Shakti Pranayama, you gain the clarity to self-correct — aligning your practice with the authentic yogic method followed by the ancient masters.
Siddha techniques for everyday life
For years I chased it. Every practice, every philosophy, one teacher after another. I sat with astrologers and psychics, tore through biographies hunting for the pattern that would explain it. Nothing held. Every answer fell apart the moment I found an exception.
Underneath all of it, I just wanted someone to tell me the one thing I need to do. Not twenty. Just one.
I found it in Vāsi Yoga, a rhythm the Siddha lineage has kept guarded for generations. Problems persist because clarity is missing, and we keep chasing solutions instead. A solution solves one problem and seeds the next. Clarity dissolves the problem itself.
Which is why this begins with the body, not the mind. Meditation is a biological process first. The psychological experience is what comes out of it.

Reviews
A Breathwork Retreat Like No Other
I recently had the privilege of attending the 3-day reset breathwork retreat hosted by Harish, and I can honestly say it's an experience I will never forget. Words almost fail to describe the impact it had on me—not just physically or mentally, but on a soul level. I went in carrying a lot and came out feeling lighter, clearer, and more deeply connected to myself than I have in a very long time.
The breathwork sessions were unlike anything I've ever experienced. They were intense, beautiful, and at times completely unexplainable. Harish guided us with such grounded wisdom and care, creating a safe space where I could truly let go. Each session brought something new to the surface—grief, clarity and joy.
But this retreat was more than just breathwork. Harish also shared his passion for Indian cooking, teaching us to create incredible dishes using his own handcrafted spice blends. The food we cooked and shared felt like nourishment on every level.
This retreat was a reset in the truest sense of the word. It was a pause, a deep breath, a reminder of who I am beneath the noise. If you're going through something, or even if you're not, I couldn't recommend this experience more. Harish doesn't just host a retreat—he holds a sacred space for transformation.
Thank you, Harish. I'll carry this with me always.
Amazing Experience that Provided me with Clarity and Peace.
I just returned from this amazing weekend retreat. Like many people I was under a lot of stress and looking for clarity, uncertain aspects of my future relationships, career, etc.
I had recently watched the movie "Eat, Pray Love". if you haven't seen it, I would recommend it. Julia Roberts is searching for clarity and takes a trip to India, where she learns breathing techniques, meditation, etc. While I enjoyed the movie, which is based on a true story, a trip to India is just not feasible for me. But thanks to the universe, India came to me! I met Harish through this website. Having read the reviews, looking at his website and retreat offerings, it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I found this to be an amazing experience that provided me with clarity and peace. The website and course online as a guide to continue to practice at home are a resource I will definitely use. I also opted to complete the astrology chart, which provided valuable insights into my own behavior patterns. This will allow me to reflect and make choices differently based on this information. Harish is a great host, instructor, and cook. I enjoyed the cooking lessons as well. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. His home is set in a very peaceful setting, allowing for a wonderful space for quiet reflection.
Left With Knowledge That I'll Carry With Me For A Lifetime
I went to the retreat with no expectations, other than to deepen my knowledge and find a bit of inner peace through silence.
The location was wonderful, the valley is beautiful, I highly recommend taking a little walk.
The food definitely exceeded my expectations: flavorful, nourishing, delicious, and beautifully presented. It was truly one of the highlights of the weekend.
However, the greatest highlight was Harish himself! His warmth, kindness, and genuine willingness to help. He broke down every concept so clearly, ensuring I understood not just the theory but also how to apply it in practice. We were 2, and it allowed us to go in depth at every step. He also used this small device, EEG scanner, to scan brain electrical activity and measure concentration levels. We did the first scan on Friday and repeated it on Saturday after all the theory work, and it was incredible to see how much my concentration during meditation had improved.
His guidance is truly remarkable. I left with knowledge that I'll carry with me for a lifetime and can continue to apply as I grow.
Deeply Experiential and Personalized
Harish's program offers a rare blend of personal attention, deep spiritual insight, and holistic learning. With only a few students per session (I was the only one in mine), Harish provides full, undivided attention and teaches from real-life experience rather than theory.
His teaching is grounded in his personal journey—learning from various Siddhas across South India. He also provided materials which are detailed and thoughtfully compiled, blending practices from Vaasi Yoga, Shat Kriya, and Panch Vayu kriya.
As a bonus, the meals were exceptional—flavored with handcrafted Beyond Masalas that made cooking feel effortless. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an authentic, experiential path.
Perfect Reset Retreat for My Birthday
When I was in college, I was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and felt like I was never sure whether or not I was meditating correctly.
I am a teacher and I also really wanted to get away and refresh my mind before the new school year.
Initially, I booked this retreat as a birthday gift to myself. Though I did have to drive a few hours away from my home, it was well worth it. As a mother of 2, I needed this reset.
Harish understood my concern with being able to meditate, and also seeing whether or not i'm actually making progress. I use the e ee g several times and I have very tangible results that show where I started and where I ended up.
My concentration level went up over 60%. I'm so grateful to Harish for not only teaching concentration, but also I learned so much about my own mind. I operate and move through conversations and situations differently since I came home. Less stress and irritation.
I also learned to cook indian dishes and have already made two at home! My 11-year-old daughter keeps saying that she is "so glad I went to the cooking class".
Bring home some spices!!! You will be happy you did!!! Also, there is a beekeeper who sells honey down the road. Definitely grab a jar!
