Holistic Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat in the Himalayas

This is a traditional ashram experience, not a resort. You live simply, eat sattvic vegetarian food, and spend your days moving, breathing, and sitting with yourself. The teaching team is large and genuinely impressive - Yogi Arvind Negi leads, and there are specialists in Ayurveda, philosophy, anatomy, and sound healing, each bringing decades of study. Morning sessions focus on dynamic practice: Mysore-style Ashtanga and vinyasa flow build heat and strength, while the evening Hatha workshops dig into alignment and longer holds. Pranayama, kriya, and mantra sessions happen daily, and there's a meditation slot every day plus yoga nidra before dinner. The Ayurvedic therapies are a real highlight - you get Abhyanga (full-body warm oil massage) and Shirodhara (warm oil poured on the forehead), plus localized Basti treatments for specific joints. The sound healing session with Tibetan bowls is deeply calming. All of this happens in a simple, clean ashram with mountain views, and a waterfall nearby you can hear from the yoga hall. Rishikesh itself is the Yoga Capital of the World, and the town is full of temples, ashrams, and the famous Laxman Jhula bridge. The retreat includes one cultural excursion, and there's a free day each week to explore on your own.
