12-Day Himalayan Yoga & Hiking Adventure in Rishikesh

The retreat starts with five days of intensive yoga practice at the Adishesh Yoga ashram, situated on the banks of the Ganga River in Rishikesh. These days are dedicated to asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, mantra, and self-discipline, designed to fully immerse practitioners in a structured yogic routine without outside distractions. The opening ceremony on the first day sets intentions for the journey ahead.

The second half of the retreat moves into the Himalayas. Daily trekking is combined with yoga, breathwork, and meditation in nature. The mountain environment naturally slows everything down and brings the practice into a more grounded and direct experience. The travel day into the mountains is part of the experience, with long, winding roads that take time.

What makes this retreat special is the direct experience of practice through consistency, movement, and the Himalayan environment. You'll work on advanced asana practice and alignment awareness, traditional pranayama techniques, meditation, and building a stronger self-practice. The retreat is about yogic discipline and routine, understanding movement with breath, and practising yoga beyond the studio environment.

The retreat is offered only once each year in a small group setting to keep the experience personal and focused. It is created for practitioners looking for something beyond a regular yoga holiday — a deeper experience rooted in practice, nature, and simplicity. Many people come to India searching for the roots of yoga, but very few experience it this way, practicing daily while moving through the Himalayas, away from busy cities and distractions.
