This is not a holiday. Itâs a pilgrimage.
Step into the land of the Buddhaâs awakening and discover what it means to travel with purpose. This is yoga beyond the mat â practiced at sunrise, in community, through service, and with joy.
Join Angela Knight for a powerful immersion in Bodh Gaya, India, where devotion, simplicity, and sacred rhythm guide every step of the journey.
This retreat is for the soulful seeker, the curious yogi, and the compassionate traveller ready for more than just a getaway, ready for transformation and for a retreat that makes a real impact on the communities we visit.

Why This Retreat Is Different
It is our heartfelt offering of service to support the Bodhi Tree Foundation School and its powerful grassroots initiatives. We do not receive any personal income from this retreat. We get great joy in seeing the smiles on children's faces, the changes to their communities through school, and livelihood initiatives that are run by the school.Â
⨠100% of profits go directly to the schoolâs projects â creating opportunities for education, bridging caste divides, and supporting livelihood development in the community.
By joining this journey, youâre not just travelling â youâre giving. Youâre part of something bigger. Youâre helping build a future where all children have access to dignity, learning, and love.
