Akshi Yogashala endeavors to accommodate guests' wanderlust and be a courteous host. They receive hundreds of students and guests every year and are accustomed to understanding the needs of their students no matter where they are from.

In order to accommodate students, they have amalgamated and constructed a modern yet ashram-like infrastructure. The school has been set up in a way that offers a heightened experience with the space and airiness needed to practice yoga.

The infrastructure is very simple but it never missed out on anything the students require. When they practice yoga and meditation, they require space, which is why student rooms are ventilated, airy, and spacious.

Each room is equipped with a coffee table, a cupboard and ensuite bathroom. All other facilities like a washing machine, internet etc. are also available.

The yoga shala welcomes you to be a part of their family, full of grace and hospitality. They have airy rooms and all the facilities to make your stay exciting and entertaining.

Although its environment will give you an ashram-like feeling, you will also have all the necessary amenities. You may request for single or double occupancy rooms.

So, get away from your daily travesties of life and come and spend a few days with Akshi Yogashala to see how they would accommodate you.

Program

Yoga

Akshi Yogashala's yoga retreat is aimed to increase the pureness of your mind and soul, helping you gain a deep understanding and knowledge of the life of a yogi. The day begins with Hatha yoga in the morning and ends with Vinyasa yoga in the evening.

Hatha yoga asanas are fast-paced which increase flexibility, revives the strength of your body, and increases the mobility of the muscle joints. Vinyasa yoga increases your fitness level, improves mental strength, relieves stress, and increases your ability to concentrate.

While Vinyasa yoga would relax the muscles and detoxify the organs of the body, Hatha yoga brings rhythm and sense to the body and soul.

This retreat provides an opportunity to build a foundation for learning how to listen to your body and mind. The course is best for beginners to deeply understand and to get into the gist of yoga.

Meditation

Along with Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, you will be practicing meditation, which is an integral part of the yoga retreat.

Ask yourself, where would be a better place to meditate than in the Himalayas of Rishikesh? You will be taught yoga meditation techniques that ancient rishis and sages performed. You will also understand the art of concentration and how to lead a pious life.

Meditation in this environment will unify your body with the soul and the soul with the cosmic entity.

Retreat location

Akshi Yogashala enjoys the privilege of being situated in the yoga capital of the world. The calm breeze of the Holy Ganges purifies every cell and pore in the body. The sanctity of the sages and seers meditating near the banks of Ganges bless every soul in their vicinity.

Ideal for pursuing yoga retreats, the school is proud of its association to The Land of the Gods. People from various parts of the world flock here to find inner peace and enjoy a tranquil time.

The yogashala is located in the pure, peaceful, and serene environment of the Himalayas that is in itself a self-elevating experience for you. With the gushing voice of the holy river Ganga and the ringing of the temple bells, you will be taken into the spiritual panorama.

The birthplace of yoga

Rishikesh is nestled into the foothills of the Himalayas; at the source of the Holy Ganga river. It is the source of yoga itself.

Peaceful and picturesque beyond imagination, it is a place that yogis have long come to seek spiritual enlightenment and deeper yoga practice in.

The chirping birds, the gentle flow of the Ganga, the faint smell of burning incense, the fresh mountain air - all of these combine to provide an energy that will help you transform your practice, and transform yourself.

Rishikesh is well connected with the roadways, railways and airways. The nearest airport is Dehradun and you can easily get taxis from Delhi, Dehradun, or Hardiwar.

Food

Akshi Yogashala is committed to carrying out an all-round growth of the students and with this intent, they have undertaken Ayurvedic cooking methodologies.

Each body type varies from one another. While it is important to understand one’s constitution, the school extends holistic diet beneficial for all our students. Intensive workout requires balanced and invigorating diet which is why they have hired experienced Ayurvedic chefs.

Light and healthy vegan food complementing the demands of Ashtanga Vinyasa and Hatha yoga is the reason why teachers emphasize eating only ashram-cooked food. This is significant in detoxifying the body during your stay.

Delicious, bountiful, and nutritious food is provided three times a day - breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including herbal drinks and tea. Food is served in a dining hall that induces the students to enjoy togetherness and get a great dining experience.
