7-Day Ayurvedic Wellness & Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh, India

Yan Cure has been running Ayurveda and naturopathy treatments in Rishikesh for years, and it shows in how smoothly the week runs. The retreat is small, personal, and rooted in traditional Indian medicine. Dr. Praveen Rana, the founder, is an Ayurvedic doctor with a Ph.D. in Ayurveda and yoga, and he personally supervises the therapeutic side of the retreat. He's treated Bollywood celebrities and MNC leaders, but here he gives the same attention to every guest.

A typical day starts at 6:00 am with an Ayurvedic detox drink, followed by Shat Kriya cleansing and a morning yoga session. The yoga is taught by a rotating team of experienced teachers, including Vineet Panday, who has a 500-hour YTT and a Master's in Yoga, and Neelam Singh, an Ashtanga specialist and Pranic healer. After breakfast, you'll have a naturopathy treatment, and after lunch, a Panchakarma therapy session—often including massage, acupressure, or herbal treatments.

The food is an important part of the therapy. All meals are vegetarian (often vegan-friendly), cooked fresh with filtered water, and served three times a day in a bright dining area. You'll get traditional Indian breakfasts like porridge and sprouts, hearty lentil and vegetable lunches, and simple dinners. Herbal teas and detox drinks are part of the daily regimen, and while some of the detox drinks might take some getting used to, they're a key part of the cleanse.

The property itself is peaceful, with a garden, yoga shala, and easy access to the river. It's a short walk or drive to the main Rishikesh attractions, but set back far enough that you get quiet nights. This is a no-frills, substance-over-style place—comfortable, clean, and focused on your health. It's not a luxury spa; it's a working Ayurvedic center that happens to be a great place to stay for a week.
