SAMA x YogaDhaama
A quieter rhythm beside the river
A three-day retreat beside the Cauvery invites participants to trade screen time and daily distractions for gentle movement, conscious breathing and mindful stillness. SAMA, a wellness studio with a base in Bangalore and Hyderabad, brings its calm-focused approach to this riverside gathering in Srirangapatna, near Mysore, in collaboration with YogaDhaama. The device-free format is central to the experience: rather than packing the days with activity, it makes room to notice the body, follow the breath and spend time in a quieter relationship with the surrounding landscape. The program may appeal to travelers who want a guided pause without needing to arrive with an established meditation practice. It is a short, focused retreat rather than a full-length residential course, and the precise daily timetable and practical arrangements are best confirmed with the hosts before booking.
