3 Day Riverfront Yoga and Wellness Retreat in Rishikesh

The retreat unfolds at Lamyali Farm Retreat, a property set between a mountain valley and a river. From the moment you arrive, the routine is designed to ground you: a welcome drink, a yoga foundation class to assess your level, and then a rhythm of daily practice and rest. Mornings begin with a refreshing bath in the river, followed by a nature walk and a yoga and meditation session that takes advantage of the morning light and fresh mountain air. Afternoons include a cookery class where you'll learn to prepare traditional Indian vegetarian dishes, and there's always free time to read, explore, or simply relax in the garden.

The retreat distinguishes itself from city ashrams through its wild, natural setting. A key highlight is the jungle walk to an ancient temple, which is part of the standard daily schedule. The property offers open-air meditation in a garden where you'll hear only birds and flowing water. Evenings are for gardening, farming, or joining another cookery class, and the day winds down with a guided Yoga Nidra session for deep rest. The instructors, Khagendra and Sushmita, are both certified teachers with deep experience in Ashtanga and Hatha traditions. Khagendra also brings his therapist background, offering a more holistic approach to wellbeing.

The meals are a standout feature. The kitchen serves a set menu of traditional Indian dishes alongside Western-style vegan and vegetarian options, all made with organic, locally sourced ingredients. The food is designed to support your practice—light yet nourishing, and always served at set times. The retreat takes place in the Lamyali area of Rishikesh, about 60 minutes from the city center, which means you get clean mountain air and a sense of remoteness without being completely cut off. The location is also a great base for exploring the natural beauty of Uttarakhand, with plenty of nearby activities like hiking, river swimming, and wildlife watching.
