14 Day Holistic Yoga & Ayurveda Wellness Retreat in Rishikesh

The retreat runs on a clear daily rhythm. Mornings start before sunrise with a Mysore-style Ashtanga and Vinyasa practice, followed by a pranayama and kriya session that teaches you breathing techniques you can keep using long after you leave. After breakfast there's mantra and kirtan, then a Hatha yoga workshop in the afternoon, and a traditional or dynamic meditation session before dinner. The balance of active practice, breathwork, and rest is what makes this retreat different from a yoga class holiday—it's structured like a mini teacher training, giving you a solid foundation in yogic practices and philosophy.

A standout feature is the complimentary Ayurvedic therapies. Each guest receives an Abhyanga massage (warm oil full-body massage), Shirodhara (warm oil poured over the forehead), and Akshitarpan & Nasya treatments for the eyes and nasal passages. These sessions are genuinely restorative, and they're included in the price—something you'd pay a lot extra for at most retreats. There are also sound healing sessions with Tibetan singing bowls, which are deeply relaxing and a highlight for many guests.

The ashram itself is simple but comfortable. Rooms are clean with attached bathrooms and stunning views of the Himalayas and the Ganges. The yoga hall is large and filled with good energy, and there's a garden, terrace, and library for quiet time. The food is fresh, sattvic, and mostly vegan, with gluten-free options, and guests consistently rate it highly. The team is welcoming and supportive, and many guests extend their stay or go on to do the 200-hour teacher training with the same school.
