7-Day Sound Healing, Yoga & Meditation Wellness Escape in the Himalayas

The Ananda Yoga & Wellness Center sits on a hill in Rishikesh, away from the noise, with views of the Himalayas. Each morning begins with pranayama and a yoga class, followed by breakfast and then a sound healing session. Sound healing uses instruments like singing bowls to create vibrations that calm the mind and body, helping you release tension you might not even realize you're holding.

Afternoons are free for self-study or relaxation, with optional excursions. You'll visit Ram Jhula and watch the evening Ganga Aarti, where the river comes alive with lamps and chanting. One morning, you'll wake early to see sunrise from Kunjapuri Temple, and there's yoga on the Ganges' banks, a chance to practice with the river sounds around you.

The retreat includes traditional Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, pranayama, and meditation, plus a Yog Nidra session for deep rest. You'll also learn about yoga philosophy in simple terms, with stories that make complex ideas easy to grasp. The teachers—Pranjal, Shree, and Shubham—each bring their strengths, from a 500-hour E-RYT certification to deep Vedic knowledge.
