7 Day Holistic Yoga, Meditation & Sound Healing Retreat in Rishikesh

Each day follows a gentle but consistent structure: a morning practice of pranayama and meditation, a Hatha Vinyasa yoga class, and then after breakfast, healing sessions like sound healing and Reiki. Lunch and dinner are served in the dining hall, and evenings are mostly free for you to rest or explore.

Aerial yoga is included—a chance to try something a little different, using silk hammocks to support poses and help you hang upside down without strain. It's a fun addition that breaks up the traditional practice and gives your spine a welcome release.

The retreat also includes a cooking class, a nature hike with a guide, and group excursions into Rishikesh, so you'll see more than just the yoga shala. You'll visit temples, the river, and maybe the Beatles Ashram if the group wants to.

It's run by Deep Yoga Wellness, a Yoga Alliance-certified school led by Sudhanshu Badoni. He's been teaching in Rishikesh for years and has a small faculty rooted in the classical Hatha tradition. The classes are suitable for all levels—you don't need to be flexible or experienced, just willing to show up.

For anyone considering a longer stay, this 7-day retreat is also a good introduction to the school's 200-hour teacher training. You'll get a feel for the teaching style, the facilities, and the daily rhythm before committing to a month-long course.
