Ayurvedic Wellness Escape with Daily Massage and Yoga in Rishikesh

The retreat is run by hosts Khagendra and Sushmita, who treat guests like extended family. Khagendra has a strong foundation in Ashtanga yoga, pranayama, and meditation and works as a therapist; Sushmita is a 300-hour certified teacher in Hatha, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa. They personalize the yoga and massage sessions to your energy levels and wellness goals, so the week flexes around how you feel each day.\n\nDays open with sunrise yoga on the open-air deck overlooking the river and peaks, followed by a breakfast of produce picked that morning from the farm. The signature daily Ayurvedic oil massage is the centerpiece, designed to calm the nervous system and restore balance. Midday brings a Sattvic lunch, then unstructured afternoon time—guests can wander forest trails, try forest bathing along the Heval River bank, or do absolutely nothing.\n\nEach evening there is a guided meditation at golden hour and a fireside dinner under a canopy of stars. Most activities happen outdoors, on the deck or within the farm, so you are constantly in the mountain air. The retreat is intentionally small, with groups of 1 to 9 participants, which keeps the attention personal and the atmosphere intimate.
