7 Day Ayurvedic Massage and Yoga Wellness Retreat in Rishikesh, India

The retreat is built around a gentle daily structure that you can adapt to how you feel. Each morning starts with an open-air yoga session on the deck, where you can hear the river and watch the sun hit the mountains. After breakfast, the day's centerpiece takes place: a traditional Ayurvedic oil massage, performed by skilled therapists. These aren't quick treatments; they're full-body sessions designed to work on specific tension points and leave you feeling deeply restored.

Your hosts are Khagendra, who brings a background in Ashtanga yoga and pranayama, and Sushmita, a 300-hour certified teacher in Hatha, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa. They live on the farm with their family, and they're known for making guests feel genuinely welcome. The teaching is practical and grounded, with guidance you can use long after you leave.

The location itself is a big part of the experience. The farm sits in a valley beside the Heval River, surrounded by jungle and mountain views. It's about 60-90 minutes from Dehradun airport, so you feel properly away from things, yet it's still accessible. The property has a garden, a kitchen, a spa area, and a terrace, all simple but comfortable. This is a retreat for people who want authenticity over polish, connection over entertainment, and rest over activity.
