Week-long Wellness Escape in the Yoga Capital of the World

This seven-day retreat at Upasana Yogshala provides an introduction to a comprehensive yogic lifestyle, drawing from Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga styles. Each day is thoughtfully structured to balance effort with ease, ensuring that you leave feeling both invigorated and profoundly relaxed. The curriculum is designed to give you a taste of the yogic sciences that are covered in depth in their 200-hour teacher training, including asana, pranayama, meditation, and philosophy. You will not be teaching, but you will leave with a solid foundation and a clear understanding of how to integrate yoga into your daily life.

What sets this retreat apart is its immersive approach. You are not just staying in Rishikesh; you are living it. From the moment you arrive, you'll be enveloped in the city's sacred atmosphere. Morning practices are held in a dedicated yoga shala with views of the surrounding mountains. Afternoons might find you at Triveni Ghat, observing the evening aarti, or walking the winding paths to a hidden waterfall. The instructors act as your guides, sharing their deep knowledge and personal stories, which enriches the experience beyond a simple drop-in yoga class.

The retreat is hosted in a peaceful property in Tapovan, a short walk from the main town yet far enough to enjoy the quiet. After the morning session, you can enjoy a wholesome plant-based breakfast with fellow guests in the dining area, which becomes a hub of conversation and connection. The atmosphere is friendly, laid-back, and supportive. Solo travelers will find it easy to make friends, and couples or friends can enjoy the shared experience of learning and exploring together. The 'small batches' approach ensures that no group ever feels too large, allowing for personal guidance from the teachers.
