YOGALAYAH: Retreat, Wellness, and Mindful Living in Hampi

Yogalayah is a tranquil wellness retreat center dedicated to mindful living, nestled amidst the stunning, peaceful landscapes of Hampi, Karnataka. Surrounded by lush rice paddy fields, Yogalayah offers an essential sanctuary for those looking to slow down, disconnect from city chaos, and reconnect with nature and self.

The Vision and the Founders

Yogalayah was born from a shared vision of co-creators Neha and Rajiv Goradia. Neha, a former Intellectual Property Law attorney who transitioned to yoga after completing a Master’s in Yoga Therapy from S-VYASA University, Bangalore, anchors the practice with deep wisdom and discipline. Rajiv, who balances a dynamic career in Information Technology, ensures the space is grounded and holistically connected, bridging the modern world with timeless yogic practice. Their journey—a leap of faith into a shared yogic lifestyle—is the heart of the welcoming community they have built.
