7-Day Yoga & Meditation Wellness Escape in Rishikesh, India

The program unfolds in two phases. Days one to three focus on arrival and opening: you'll ease into the rhythm of daily practice with Hatha in the mornings, Yin or Restorative in the afternoons, and breath-based meditation in the evenings. This gradual start lets your body release tension before the practice deepens. Days four to seven shift into more dynamic work—Vinyasa Flow, Kundalini sequences, and Ashtanga-inspired sessions—alongside advanced pranayama like Kumbhaka and Bhastrika. Yoga Nidra is introduced mid-week and quickly becomes a favorite for its profound rest.

A key highlight is the integration of healing modalities. Siddha Ji, an internationally recognized sound healer, leads two Himalayan singing bowl sessions during the week, and Reiki energy healing is offered alongside. These are not add-ons but woven into the daily schedule, so the physical, energetic, and emotional work happens together. Evening satsang and mantra chanting connect you to the living spiritual tradition of Rishikesh, which for many guests becomes the most memorable part of the retreat.

Accommodation is in private rooms only, each with air conditioning, an en-suite bathroom, and a terrace. The property itself is set on a hillside with short but steep paths between buildings—mentioned by several guests as something to be aware of. The rooftop terrace is a beloved spot for morning pranayama or sunset meditation, and the on-site yoga shala is naturally lit and open to the mountain air. Meals are Sattvic and vegetarian, prepared from organically grown produce and tailored to your dosha by Dr. Prateek.

The retreat includes one 60-minute Ayurvedic treatment and one 30-minute massage as part of the package, with additional therapies available. A half-day excursion to the Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan, a guided walk through Tapovan, and a visit to the Beatles Ashram are all included. The final morning includes a closing practice and a one-on-one session where your teachers suggest a home routine—specific sequences, pranayama, and meditation practices—to keep the momentum going after you leave.
