3-Day Ayurvedic Wellness and Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh by the Ganges

Yan Cure is a small health center in Rishikesh that combines Ayurveda, naturopathy, and yoga. The daily program includes Shat Kriya cleansing (like Jal Neti), yoga asana, pranayama, meditation, and a therapy session, plus a 30-minute massage and a one-hour treatment included in your stay. You can choose your intensity, from simply cutting out meat, wheat, sugar, and dairy to a full juice cleanse, depending on your goals and health status.

What makes this retreat different is the focus on traditional treatments. Dr. Praveen Rana, who holds a Ph.D. in Ayurveda, supervises the therapy and has developed his own rejuvenation technique called Kayakalpa Kriya. The center is a short walk from the Ganges, surrounded by gardens and with views toward the mountains. It's a peaceful, simple setting where the daily routine is structured but unhurried.

The team includes several experienced teachers: Dr. Praveen Rana for Ayurveda, Mr. Vineet Panday for yoga, Neelam Singh for Ashtanga yoga and energy healing, and Abhivash for therapeutic yoga. Each guest gets a treatment plan tailored to their needs, and the staff are known for being attentive and caring. The retreat also includes a nature hike with a guide, so you get some time outdoors in the Himalayan foothills as well.
