good things are born from hard times.

Shambala Retreats is the brainchild of Yoga Teacher and creative soul Anjalika.

Having spent ten years managing a beautiful yoga retreat space in Goa, she and her husband Andrzej successfully hosted hundreds holidays for guests, retreats and teacher trainings, creating truly magical experiences for their guests.

The pandemic caused a massive transit in their lives forcing them to close their business and move to a the stunning region of Warmia in northern Poland.

Being here led her to wonder…. why stop at one location when the world has hundreds of magical spaces to create beautiful authentic experiences for people ?

And so was born Shambala Retreats, to create high vibration journeys for seekers and travelers.

A BIT OF ANJALIKA

Indian by birth, Earth citizen by Spirit , Anjalika’s practices are a combination of Yoga Asana, Meditation, Pranayama (Breathing) and Chanting (Sound-work).

Born in India, she has traveled extensively between India and Europe from the age of 3, for culture, studies and work. Her first contact with Yoga was at the age of 7 in Indian schools, which is where her love for the practice began !

Since 2012 , she co-managed a Yoga Retreat centre in India, as the Creative Head of THE MANDALA, GOA. She is the brain and force behind Yoga & Detox programs as well as leading the Vinyasa Yoga and Pranayama sessions there.

With a background in Architecture and Design, she pressed the pause button on her 9 to 5 corporate design job in 2010 and decided to deepen her knowledge of Yoga and Yogic Sciences.

This led her to her mission today : to encourage people to live a life of awareness + positivity through her projects and interactions.

Anjalika teaches a unique vinyasa style focused on heightened awareness and mindfulness : combining asana, breath observation, muscle awareness, drishti (sight), bandha (locks). With every practice, you will feel closer to your core self : which is a grateful place of peace and power.
