3-Day Relax & Recharge Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Rishikesh

This retreat takes place at Maa Ganga Yogashala, a traditional yoga school in the Tapovan area of Rishikesh, run by Yogi Vinay Khurana. Vinay spent years working in Mumbai's film industry before turning to yoga, and he brings that lived experience of stress and burnout to his teaching. With over 12 years of practice, he runs daily yoga and meditation sessions and is particularly known for his sound healing work with singing bowls. It is the kind of place where the staff learn your name and the instructors genuinely care about how you're doing.

The program is designed to be stress-relieving rather than intense. Day one eases you in with an afternoon introductory yoga class, day two builds gently with morning practices and free time to rest or explore, and day three ends with a final grounding session before checkout. There are no long, grueling schedules. The emphasis is on relaxation, breathing, and learning to be present. Evening activities like kirtan or movie nights are included, and you can join excursions such as the Ganga Aarti ceremony or a hike to Kunjapuri temple for sunrise.

Accommodation is at Divine Yogpeeth, which is part of the same school. Rooms are simple but functional, each with air conditioning, an ensuite bathroom, and Wi-Fi, and there's a terrace for relaxing between sessions. The atmosphere is more yoga school than luxury resort, which suits the retreat's purpose. You'll eat freshly prepared sattvic vegetarian meals, drink plenty of chai, and sleep well. It is a proper reset in one of the most spiritual places in India, and the three-day format makes it easy to slot into a longer trip or take as a standalone break.
