Himalayan Orchard Yoga Retreats

Michael is originally from Britain. Before moving to India, Michael had been teaching in various countries. Besides the UK, he has lived and worked in Spain, Italy, North Africa, the Middle East and Japan since 1985. Devanshe is from Shimla. She had been teaching in India since 1994 and then in 2007 moved to Japan where she continued her teaching career. Michael (who had been teaching in Japan since 2006 ) met Devanshe in 2009, as a result of apples. They married the following year and continued to work in Japan while visiting their families in UK, India and Italy (where they have a mountain home in the Casentino, Tuscany) during their holidays from work. Renovation to the farm started in 2012 and continued in stages during their visits to India. Finally in 2016, they left Japan and moved to India. ​ Both are learning how to be Himalayan farmers, cheese-makers, cider and wine producers, and Michael does his best at bodging generally. They both love nature, poetry, and music. Devanshe tinkles on the piano and Michael is fairly proficient at three or four guitar chords.
