Guest Support
Why Every Guest Feels at Home Here
Whether this is your first retreat or your tenth, here is how we make every stay safe, welcoming and genuinely transformative.
Small, Supportive Groups
Retreat groups are capped at 12 students, so teachers can correct, encourage and adapt every class to the people in the room.
Step-by-Step Instruction
Every posture and breathing practice is broken down slowly, with an easier modification offered whenever you need it.
Introductory Meditation Sessions
Guided meditation is introduced gradually - short sittings by the Ganga that teach you how to settle the mind, from zero.
No-Pressure Culture
Ask anything, skip nothing you're uncomfortable with, and progress at your own pace. Flexibility is not a requirement - curiosity is.
Experienced Teachers
Our Yoga Alliance certified teachers have guided 1,700+ students from more than 41 countries - many of them complete first-timers.

Your Days in Rishikesh
Learn Yoga the Traditional Way, at Your Own Pace
Rishikesh is the birthplace of yoga, and our school has welcomed international students here for over 15 years. On a retreat you will learn foundational Hatha and Vinyasa postures, classical pranayama breathing and guided meditation - the same teachings we pass on in our teacher trainings, paced to suit every level.
Between classes there is time to rest, walk Himalayan forest trails, watch the evening Ganga aarti and share sattvic meals with a small group of like-minded travellers. You leave with a simple, sustainable home practice - not sore muscles.

Best Time for a Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh
We run retreats every month, all year round. October to March has the most comfortable weather, and September to April are our most popular months, so we recommend booking early for those dates.
April to June is the warmer pre-monsoon season, and July to September is the monsoon, when the Himalayan foothills are at their greenest. Whatever month you choose, the daily schedule, classes and meals stay the same.
