7-Day Spiritual Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Rishikesh, India

Rishikesh is known as the yoga capital of the world, and this retreat is a chance to experience that atmosphere firsthand. The school is run by Yogi Subham Rawat, who has deep roots in the area and teaches traditional Hatha, pranayama, and meditation. He's joined by Amandeep Ji, a certified Hatha yoga teacher who focuses on building a clear foundation for students. The team's approach is traditional and personal, with a strong emphasis on the spiritual side of yoga, not just the physical postures.

The program is structured around daily yoga, meditation, and pranayama sessions, with a schedule that includes a 90-minute Hatha yoga class each morning. Afternoons are for rest or self-study, and evenings often involve group activities like Ganga Aarti, visits to the Secret Waterfall, or Bollywood dance. On certain days, you'll have guided excursions to spiritual sites like Parmarth Niketan, Triveni Ghat, and the famous hanging bridges of Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula. These outings are a key part of the experience, giving you a taste of the local culture and spirituality.

The location itself is a highlight. The school is situated in Tapovan, a peaceful area a short walk from the Ganges river and the forested hills. The property has a garden and a yoga shala (deck) where classes take place. It's a simple, clean, and comfortable base to come back to after your practice and adventures.
