Our sacred pilgrimage to Rishikesh is an 8-day spiritual journey through the holy cities of Rishikesh and Haridwar, guided by India Williams, one of our most loved senior teachers.

Dr. India will lead you through yoga, meditation, kirtan, sacred rituals, and visits to some of the world's leading Hatha yoga teachers, living enlightened masters and gurus, revered temples and ashrams, creating a journey that nourishes body, mind, and spirit.
