SHAPE: Sanctity of Training
A 7 Day Peak Performance Program in the Mountains
What is SHAPE?
SHAPE is a high-intensity physical and mental program based in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh. It strips away distractions and comfort to help individuals reclaim their best physical and mental shape through structured training, clean nutrition, and disciplined routines.
This program isn’t about luxury, it’s about peak-performance. SHAPE is a wake-up call designed for those who want to push their limits, break free from mediocrity, and unlock their peak potential.
Why Should You Attend This Program?
SHAPE is for those who refuse to settle for mediocrity. It’s designed for individuals who want to challenge their limits, improve their performance, and undergo real, sustainable transformation – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
In a world full of distractions and mis-information, we often neglect what truly matters: health, discipline, clarity. Most people choose the easy way – mediocre expectations, mediocre performance, and mediocre results. But some people want more. They want change. If you’re one of them, you should attend this program.
We offer a structured environment that allows you to disconnect from distractions, break free from complacency, and reclaim control over your body and mind.
The program combines physical intensity, mental training, clean nutrition, and structured living, helping you forge a new version of yourself – focused, resilient, and ready to perform.
This is a system designed to help you become the best version of yourself – a high-performing, deeply alive human being.
The SHAPE Philosophy
S = Strength
Forge true strength in the quiet of the hills – muscle, mind, and will.
H = Heart Health
We train to build strength, sustain endurance, and enhance the stability of the most important muscle in our body – the heart.
A = Adaptability
Cold mornings. Steep climbs. Mental barriers. Learn to adapt to everything – inside and out.
P = Peak Performance
Multi-layered training, structured routines, and disciplined nutrition – designed to push you beyond your limits, physically and mentally. Every day moves you closer to your personal summit.
E = Endurance
Whether short treks or long runs, these mountains demand grit. We train to outperform ourselves – through discomfort, fatigue, and time.

Why SHAPE Is So Physically Intensive
Because the body is the door.
In SHAPE, physical intensity isn’t just about fitness. It’s about access. Access to your attention, your limits, your resistance, your truth.
Discomfort sharpens clarity.
When your legs are burning, your lungs are working, and your sweat is real, your excuses stop talking. You meet the real you.
No filters. No phone. No escape. Just hardwork.
Physical intensity trains the mind – not just muscles.
Every workout, every hike, every brain train session is a tool.
It teaches you how to:
● Stay with discomfort
● Follow structure when motivation fades
● Push through internal resistance
● Build confidence from action, not thought
That’s mental transformation – by doing, not overthinking.
Cognitive change needs physical anchoring.
It’s easy to talk about mindset. It’s harder to earn it. At SHAPE, pottery, sketching, reflection, and meditation are paired with action. Your nervous system learns from experience, not theory. The body holds what the brain often forgets.
Nature doesn’t negotiate.
Mountains demand effort. Cold doesn’t care if you’re tired or motivated. Hills don’t flatten because you’re not ready. This intensity isn’t artificial – it’s truthful. And it builds you.
Why 30-Minute Phone Usage?
We limit phone usage to 30 minutes per day to help you stay present and focused during the SHAPE program. This digital detox fosters mental clarity, enhances concentration, and encourages connection with nature. By reducing distractions, you can fully immerse yourself in the program, ensuring a deeper, more transformative experience. The 30-minute window in the evening allows for essential check-ins with family and friends while maintaining your commitment to personal growth.

Location: Dharamkot, Himachal Pradesh
The SHAPE program is based in Dharamkot — a high-altitude, forested village nestled in the Dhauladhar range of Himachal Pradesh. Quiet, elevated, and surrounded by nature, it offers the ideal setting to disconnect from noise and rebuild from within.
But this is more than just a beautiful location.
Dharamkot reflects SHAPE itself — focused, stripped of excess, quietly demanding.
What Makes Dharamkot Special
● Altitude, Vegetation and Environment: Sitting at 2,100 meters, Dharamkot is surrounded by oak, pine, deodar, and rhododendron forests — alive with birds like the Himalayan bulbul, magpies, and sunbirds. The air is cool and clean. Mornings are silent except for the wind in the trees. It’s not just quiet — it’s elevated, clear, and deeply grounding.
● Tushita Meditation Centre: A globally respected Buddhist retreat space that promotes silence and reflection.

● Dhamma Sikhara Vipassana Meditation Centre: A forest-based Vipassana centre offering profound silence, discipline, and mental stillness — it sets the mood of the town.
● Epic Trails: The Gallu Waterfall hike and Triund Trek provide natural training grounds for SHAPE — raw, scenic, and demanding.
● Elite Running Terrain: Some of the best 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon trails in the world pass through this landscape. High-altitude, low-pollution, and breathtaking.
● Creative Energy: Dharamkot’s traveller community includes yoga teachers, artists, and wellness experts – making it not just remote, but rich.
● Good Cafés: Small cafés serve a wide variety of international cuisines, offering a balance of local simplicity and global comfort.
● Creative Studios: Home to some of India’s finest creative spaces – including Science of Sketching for charcoal and Dharamkot Studio for pottery-based cognitive and creative training.
