Smit, originally from India, has been teaching and practicing yoga since 2018. For him, yoga isn’t just something you do on the mat it’s a way to connect with yourself, with others, and with life.
He believes yoga should feel simple, real, and human, where the practice isn’t about perfection but about presence.
Smit creates spaces where you can move, breathe, and rest in a way that feels natural and true to you and helps you believe in yourself, even when you don’t.
When he’s not teaching, you’ll find him outdoors chasing sunsets, enjoying a cup of chai, or sitting quietly in stillness.
Wherever you are in your journey, you’re welcome here - just as you are.
Details of this retreat
Worn Within was born from a moment of deep exhaustion a time when I felt burned out, disconnected, and far from myself.
During a transformative journey in India, everything slowed down. I rested, reconnected, and felt truly alive again.
Most of all, I felt inspired. It was there that I met Smit, a yoga teacher whose presence and intention deeply resonated with mine. From our shared vision of authenticity, growth and true reconnection, this retreat was created.
Worn Within is not a classic wellness retreat.
It’s a space of freedom, encouragement, and choice.
A full experience designed to help you deeply relax, grow, and feel inspired.
Here, we explore the inner world and how it naturally flows into the outer one from intuition and emotion to movement, self-expression, and personal style.
Rooted in the values of Yellow Souls Studio confidence, authenticity, joy, and inspiration Worn Within is an invitation to reconnect with yourself and step closer to the most aligned version of who you already are.

• You feel tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected
• You crave deep rest and inspiration
• You want to reconnect with yourself without pressure or expectations
