With the blessing of Maa Ganga, we established our school, "Rishikesh School of Yoga" in the beautiful city of Rishikesh. But there is a reason why we are here.

Indians say it is a blessing:

Rishikesh is a tranquil city in Uttarakhand where taking a yoga retreat program is full of the magic and awe of an unexpected journey.

You will feel the lush clean air and nature.

Here the heart-opening journey of yoga is full of experiences; an experience of culture and collection, an experience of yoga - an experience of knowing your true self. Yes, it is true that India is loud and there are many people, but we have stunning Himalayan views and are a short walk from the pristeen waters of the Holy River Ganges.

But honestly it is more about the energy:

For many hundreds of years great yogis practiced in Rishikesh and this has left an energy that is good for self expansion and discovery. Simply put, there is a special vibe to our city.

Our humble ashram environment includes 3 separate teaching areas all with views of the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains on the banks of the Holy River Ganges. You can choose your teaching location between our residential living area, the yoga hall and the roof.

But what actually happens at a spiritual yoga retreat?

Thinking of a yoga retreat as a luxury stay abroad is a big misconception many people have. Instead, a yoga retreat is a lot of learning, sharing, connecting with true happiness and, of course, a good amount of yoga.
