8-Day Yoga & Meditation Wellness Retreat in Bodh Gaya, India

This is an 8-day, 7-night retreat that weaves together yoga, pranayama, meditation, Ayurveda, and spiritual treatments. The daily schedule is paced so you have plenty of time to rest and explore. Mornings begin at 7:00 AM with a yoga, pranayama, and meditation session, then breakfast, then more practices and treatments before lunch. Afternoons offer free time, Ayurvedic consultations, and optional activities like sightseeing or a farm visit on the property. Evenings wind down with dinner and rest.

The yoga and meditation sessions are taught with a focus on accessibility—beginners and advanced practitioners alike will find them manageable. The instructors draw on traditional techniques, but they’re not rigid about it. The idea is to meet you where you are and help you deepen your own practice, whatever that looks like.

A key part of this retreat is Ayurveda. You’ll learn about your dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) during a consultation and get personalized advice on diet and lifestyle. This isn’t just a lecture—it’s applied to your meals, which are tailored to your constitution, and to your daily routine. The food is vegetarian and non-vegetarian, with plenty of organic and locally sourced options, and there are always fresh juices and herbal teas available.

The hotel, Marasa Sarovar Premiere, is a modern property with all the amenities you need: air conditioning, a pool, a spa, a restaurant, and free Wi-Fi. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the staff is known for being warm and helpful. The spa, called Bhumisparsha, is a highlight—guests specifically praise Meeta’s chakra massage, which many consider the best they’ve ever had.
