Yog Amore - Yoga studio in Chandigarh, Kansal - Chandigarh, India

Attending the retreat with Yog Amore at Auroville has been a life changing experience for me. Every session, be it, yoga sessions, breath work sessions or the sharing circle sessions helped me understand me , my path , my journey. The sessions through the 5 days were very well planned and conducted by Hugo. The venue for the retreat at Auroville was so well chosen and had the perfect ambience for a quiet and peaceful break from the hustle bustle of city life. I look forward to attending such retreats with Hugo again.

My daughter and myself took a chance and opted to attend Hugos Auroville Yoga Retreat. It was my first ever retreat, so i went in with an open mind, absolutely no expectations nor idea of what would transpire. Having been regularly irregular practitioner of yoga, I am aware of asanas and pranayama. But with Hugos workshops, I was introduced to many different techniques of breathwork,which did away with my inhibitions. Also, in the final Shamanic breathwork, having created a safe space, I did have an amazing mind blowing experience, for which im ever so grateful. Nightly sharing circle was uncomfortable initially, but within a couple of days, I was able to listen without judgement or reaction,also was able to better understand my own self. Going on this journey, I loved exploring Auroville with a lovely group of diverse people who just so naturally flowed together. As diverse as we were, there definitely was a common thread. I carry back only fond memories and wish each one the very best in life. Hugos kind, calm and collected demeanor actually prompted us ask if he was like this always! The retreat was seamless and well executed. Of course I have to mention the meticulously curated vegetarian menu, counted to the last calorie, a topic of jovial discussion amongst our very nonveg group. I confess i totally enjoyed the fresh salads and dips! A big thank you to the family at Verite. Now, back home ive become regular on the mat, slowly trying to integrate the lessons learned. Amazing! Im glad i took the chance

Best place to learn yoga and actually discover what is yoga! Luckily became a part of yogamoreshala in lockdown of 2020.. and the experience totally changed me as a person. Not only i gained physical strength and flexibility, but also learnt inner confidence and strong will power. HUGO (the yoga teacher and founder of yogamoreshala) always was there as friend, philosopher and guide. The experience helped me to unleash so many inner capabilities and break down my own limitations. This place is perfect for yoga aasnas, meditations, breathing praanayam sessions, ecstatic dance and music and alot more. Which can never be described completely in words. You will learn how yoga deeply takes you into a meditative zone and silently you will be able to come beyond the thinking mind by just breathing and doing yoga the poses. With closed eyes in the class and the poses, all my efforts along with the guidance of yoga teacher resulted in great emotional healing which we all have deeply burried inside our body and mind.. slowly & gradually, i discovered what is peace and being happy amidst all the chaos of mind.. So, All you need is faith, willingness to surrender and readyness to try. Located in a serene location of city beautiful chandigarh, this is the right place if you are looking for a peaceful yet friendly environement to learn and unlearn so many things. I will always be thankful to Hugo sir for being a part of my journey of whatsoever i am today or will be! It's a memorable one. Thank you yogamore shala for teaching me what is called Balance, for making me a silent observer, for making me courageous to try out different things in life, for teaching me not giving up, And most important of all for being a LEARNER. I am blessed & thankful and such experiences can only be felt. So one must visit and explore by themselves. Always wishing the best of everything to yogamoreshala team. - Sweet unstoppable jas

Meditation I attended with Hartaj Sir calmed the rush and restlessness in me. Simple exercises that made me " feel life within " a connection without any more pretex . Before the workshop was feeling so stuffed and fermented with ugly dramas .An extra much needed SPACE was created within me for future healthy something

So i happened to attend my very first Yoga retreat hosted by Hugo and Ayesha from yogamoreshala @The Mirage in Andretta. i think its safe to say it was an experience quite like nothing i had expected. The super hosts combined yoga with a luxurious holiday amidst the backdrop of a cutesy serene artist village in Palampur. The property is a home you wished you had with sprawling acres of greenery and mud villas. The hosts created such a positive space right from the word go. All of us who attended the retreat came from poles apart countries, languages, ideologies and age groups bound together by the positive synergy led by our yogagurus. each day we woke up to a different style of yoga depending on how our bodies and mind felt and reacted followed by a breakfast buffet of sorts. the entire food menu was overlooked and co-created by our yogagurus consisting of healthy wholesome vegetarian food. the whole atmosphere was so homely and friendly that each of us would sit for hours at the table dining and relishing the food. An array of mindfully meticulated activities awaited us each day. my favorite being the pottery lesson at India's oldest pottery studio right outside the property. other activities included a group hike to the mountain top, visit to the world renowed artist Sobha Singh ji's art gallery and a visit to Bir's monastries. for fun, a few of us even stole some time to try out paragliding. after concluding the daily activities, we would have an hour and a half long yoga sessions consisting of a mix of restorative and yin sessions. The last of the yoga evening sessions was concluded by a beautiful Cacao ceremonies followed by ecstatic dance. All in all I left with positivity and a much calmer mind that i couldn't wait to share, as well can't thank Hugo and Ayesha enough for letting me be a part of this wonderful journey. i am leaving a few pictures here as my words probably don't do much justice here. eagerly waiting for their next retreat.

Ayesha and Hugo have created a beautiful Iyengar-inspired, home studio in Sector 18B. The space is decked out with all the props one would need to deepen their asana and practice. The gift shop and cafe is a nice treat selling locally made bath and body products, pottery and even some provisions. The cafe is serving up a few daily options (smoothies, iced tea and fruit bowls) for a nutritious post-class meal. The outdoor communal space is also an added bonus to come and relax before or after class. Great job guys!

Hi, I am Deepak Mehta and I am sharing my incredible experience of Yoga Retreat with Hugo. Knowing Auroville, Hugo and his Yoga Retreats was a special experience for me. It was 6 days 5 nights residential yoga retreat at Auroville with Hugo. (A) Auroville: Few of you who would like to get introduced to this city, it is called The City of Dawn, is an international experimental community in South India near Puducherry founded by spiritual partner of Sri Aurobindo - Mother Mira Alfassa in the year 1968 with an aim to build a place where people across the globe could live in peace and harmony. At present it is home to around 3,000 people from over 75 countries. (B) Yoga Retreat in brief: It is a mini vacation where focus is to get connected with self. Hugo Yoga Retreats are very special. It is a crash course of various techniques that helps us to be more aware of our emotions and helps us getting connected to the present. His Yoga Retreats primarily transforms the ancient practices of Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation so that the modern-day individual like you and me, finds them easy to practice and valuable. He makes it simple, pure and you start relishing the progression with the flow. Glimpse of a day at Yoga Retreat that I had at Auroville with Hogo; * Our day started with Yoga (either in Yoga Centre or at the beach). * Followed by group Organic Breakfast in Auroville (farm to table concept). * Getting ready and then exploring Auroville on our bicycles. * Lunch at amazing cafes. * Evening dynamic Meditation, Yog Nidra etc. * Group Dinner. Few wonderful gatherings that we had. (1) Several graceful events at Matri Mandir Courtyard. (2) Ask anything meeting with Aurovilleans. (3) Cacao Ceremony and Ecstatic dance. (4) Dynamic Meditation. (5) Yoga Nidra. (6) Shamanic Breathwork. (7) Beach Yoga. (8) Sound Bath. (9) Yin Yoga. (10) And of course, an incredible experience of living in Verite at Auroville. It seems, I lived a life there in those 6 days and 5 nights at Auroville which were so gratifying and having a feel to remained living there. Hugo will say come with an open mind to his yoga retreats. He will advise If you are unhappy, you are living in the past. If you are worried, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. Meaning of these words will flow in once you complete the yoga retreat. Hugo is incredible and you will find yourself mesmerised and saying umm after every bite, every session and after each moment that you spend with him. I was in awe with his meticulous planning, detailing and effortlessly execution of all sessions. I am looking forward for your next yoga retreat Hugo. Stay Safe and Stay Blessed.

I had gone to Auroville retreat programme through Yog Amore in Jan 2023. I had one of the finest enriching experience of my life here. I believe I have changed some bit of my life through this retreat. Hugo sir has helped throughout the journey. The most important part of it is Hugo sir has tried to remain in touch and tried to make us follow our Yoga beyond the retreat programme.
