RISHIKESH RETREAT
24th September 2025
The Heart of Yoga Retreat
An invitation to the international yoga capital of the world, Rishikesh.
24th Sept - 4th Oct 2025.
Rishikesh, where the exquisite setting on the fast-flowing Ganges River, surrounded by forested hills, is conducive to meditation and mind expansion. In the evening, an almost supernatural breeze blows down the valley, setting temple bells ringing as sadhus, swamis, pilgrims and tourists prepare for the nightly ganga aarti (river worship ceremony). The holy town of Rishikesh has the eminence of being the International capital of Yoga and meditation, and home of the Beatles ashram. Rishikesh is dotted with a number of ancient temples, ashrams and world renowned yoga centers.
The retreat includes daily yoga and meditation practice often beside the Ganges. Both are suitable for all levels of experience.
There will be plenty of optional activities and excursions during the trip (at additional cost). Examples of which are shown below (these may be subject to change). You are free to join them or enjoy exploring the town or relaxing in one of the numerous cafes.
