Yoga Retreat
"I spent 5 weeks doing the Ashram Stay programme to address my anxiety and stress. Having arrived with no knowledge of Yoga or Meditation I was immediately put at ease by Yogi Ram. He tailored a personal programme for me with yoga, meditation and philosophy. This was a life changing experience. The food was excellent and the location very peaceful. From the first minute I was welcomed and made to feel at ease by the Ashram team. I aim to return in the near future."
Yoga Retreat
“This is the best ashram in Rishikesh. I had enrolled for the Ashram stay program. The stay was very neat and clean. They provided hygienic and healthy food. The yoga teachers are very supportive and encouraging. Ram Sir taught us meditation practices, which are helping me to focus. His philosophy classes are really good. These practices have tremendously helped me to calm my mind. Himalayan Yog Ashram has imparted a positive outlook towards life within me”
2 Week Retreat
“I originally planned to go for 2 weeks—I was living a stressful corporate job in London and moving to a whole new life in Sydney Australia and I needed a break. I needed to reset my nervous system and remove the stress that had been built up in my body and that was exactly what I received when I attended the ashram. The yoga was just next level, so spiritual, so pure. I learned how to meditate, the food was some of the best Indian food you will ever taste, and the treatments at the ashram are second to none. ”
Yoga Retreat
"I did the ashram stay here and it was a delightful retreat. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. The chefs were so nice and the food was soooo good! My favourite part of my stay was receiving the ayurveda treatments by Kiran who is the sweetest. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful yoga retreat in Rishikesh."
The "Yoga Capital of the World," Rishikesh, is a favourite destination for yoga retreats. During your yoga and meditation retreat in Rishikesh, you will have the chance to partake in a variety of activities, including:
Discover the peace of yoga in the midst of nature, with the Himalayas and the Ganges river as your backdrop.
Engage in the heart-stirring devotional singing practise known as kirtan, which uplifts the spirit and promotes a sense of community.
Visit stunning waterfalls to connect with nature while soaking in the energising energy of the gushing water.
Experience a profoundly spiritual experience by attending the mesmerising Ganga Aarti ceremony, a spiritual rite that takes place on the banks of the Ganges.
Take a breath-taking walk to Kunjapuri Temple, where you'll see a magnificent dawn over the Himalayas that will leave you speechless and inspired.
Note:
The scheduling of activities like sunrise treks and Ganga Aarti ceremonies varies based on weather and transportation. We decide on these experiences week by week to ensure the best possible conditions for our participants.
As part of the Yoga Program, excursion activities are arranged on the 2nd week Tuesday and 3rd week Tuesday.
Apart from the physical yoga practice, it is important to nourish the body properly. Our program acknowledges this holistic approach and serves sattvic food with high nutrition.
When following a sattvic diet, you avoid fried, processed, canned, and other items. This avoids cardiac problems and maintains a healthy level of cholesterol. Due to sattvic food's ability to keep our stomachs happy and promote simple digestion and absorption, diabetes and several malignancies are also avoided.
Balancing the Diet:
During your retreat, our kitchen prepares fresh, organic vegetarian meals that support your yoga practice and promote clarity of mind—a cornerstone of the yogic path.
A perfect place to stay is essential in order to allow one to relax after a wonderful yoga practice. Another crucial component in making yoga a truly enjoyable and beneficial experience is convenience. Living in the close embrace of nature is in and of itself a revitalizing experience for the "Would-be" real Yogi, nestled in the Himalayan foothills next to the lovely Ganges.
Each individual is required to have a clean, comfortable room that they can share. These rooms each provide the following amenities:
All our teachers and gurus are experienced instructors who are well trained and well-versed in all things about yoga – ensuring that all of our graduates are fully equipped to be successful. All teachers here have a Masters in Yogic Science as well as certificates from the Yoga Alliance.
