Why choose this retreat?
When you climb these mountains, or just sit on a peak, you get this feeling of becoming one with the mountain. You feel like embodying the stability, equanimity, power of silence, and inner resilience of these mountains, and feel trust in life in the universe. The mountains reconnect you with your essence, your humanity, and humbleness; the fact you are all interconnected, all part of one universe, and that there is something much bigger than you. Going into the mountains is a call to your soul, a journey of liberation, and often life-changing.
And this is exactly why pilgrims, spiritual seekers, and yogic masters, from all times and cultures have been called to retreat in the Himalayas. For over 1000 years, pilgrims have described a journey into the Himalayas as pure medicine for the soul. With all the yogic practices of asana, meditation, and Kundalini, you will explore the Himalayas with all their beauty. The memory will inspire you and guide you your whole life until your last breath. So, come and get ready to immerse in the life of a yogi with yoga in the Himalayas and get to know the true you; the happy you.
Calmly flowing river Ganga, storytelling spectacular mountains, peacefully replete destinations, and God-gifted nature is calling you for a rejuvenating holiday! Yoga retreat at Atharv Yogshala’s yoga school in India not only means stretching, exercising, and so on; indeed, it means an opportunity to explore the vibrant culture and beauty of the Land of Gods, “Rishikesh”. Many yogis describe the Great Himalayas, as the closest you can come to God.
It is here in the vast expansiveness and surrounded by infinite horizons that mankind can touch the deepest essence of his heart, the divinity that you all are. Even now, 1000 years later this is what Atharv Yogshala’s students, religious or not, express when immersed in these mountains. They experience something sacred, something so pure and still, yet so fulfilling and liberating. It is a feeling of coming home and feeling part of something bigger, a higher force that fills with love and divine joy.
At every step, you will find Rishikesh as a destination to throw away all your worries, problems, and issues. The ringing bells of ancient temples, the chanting of sacred mantras, the happiness in the eyes of people, and the taste in the flavors of Rishikesh will leave their mark on your heart and lure you, again and again, to come to this incredible city. A city with an awestruck beauty seems like it was specially created by God to let you explore the wonderful life of peace and wisdom.
The Himalayan Yoga and Meditation Retreat with yogi Kuldeep and yogini Leonie is the way to switch your life into a peaceful mode. Human beings have limitless potential to grow and enjoy life because our kundalini is always sleeping. Atharv Yogshala is not calling you for a yoga program; they are inviting you to a life-changing program. Come with a pure heart to their yoga school and gain the best of the best with yoga in India.

Sattvic food
Yoga and Ayurveda have gained increasing importance in the last couple of years. Although these practices and disciplines originated in India, they have gained a lot of popularity outside the country, specifically due to the amazing benefits they offer. Specialists from these disciplines have always believed that the approach to health should not only be physical but also mental, emotional, and spiritual. Their methods of practice also support this approach. And the same holistic approach comes into play in their diets as well.
Yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the Sattvic diet for healthy eating. The Sattvic diet is found to be abundant in Prana, a universal force that gives life to the plant and animal kingdoms. A Sattvic diet is based on foods that are high in ‘Sattva Guna’ (goodness), according to yoga and Ayurvedic sciences. These systems believe that the diet leads to a clear mind and calm demeanor, while simultaneously benefiting the body. Experts say that a Sattvic diet has all the five natural elements and this helps maintain overall balance.
Elements of a Sattvic diet
A Sattvic diet includes water, fruits (all varieties), most vegetables, cereals, bread, pulses, nuts, oilseeds, dairy foods, and honey. Cow’s milk is considered the most Sattvic of all foods in this category. Goat’s milk is treated as a good substitute for cow’s milk but buffalo milk doesn’t come under the Sattvic food group. The Sattvic diet does not include onions, garlic, red chilis, black pepper, and other pungent spices because they are believed to be stimulants.
On the contrary, spices like turmeric, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, and anis seed are recommended because these spices help the digestive system. Sattvic foods are simple and easy to digest. They also require minimal cooking. Since there is not much processing before these foods come to the dining table, they are closer to nature than other foods. Ideally, Sattvic foods are to be eaten fresh and immediately after cooking. Barring fruits, not many raw foods come under the Sattvic diet because raw foods are considered to be carriers of infectious agents.
Experts believe that a person who eats Sattvic food can achieve a great combination of physical, mental, and emotional harmony. Such a person would be well-focused in life and work as well. Additionally, the Sattvic diet improves immunity that allows its follower to remain disease-free, or even if he/she falls ill, the recovery would be quick. Positive pranic foods uplift and enhance your energy levels, fulfill your health needs, and help the body retain positive energy, which can help heal so many problems and issues. They are also usually high in nutritional value and can also help cure ailments and fulfill goals.
What exactly is a Sattvic diet?
A Sattvic diet, simply, means light and healthy food. It does not go to any extremes of taste, neither too sweet, nor too salty or spicy, just moderate. Put, Sattvic food is that which purifies the body and calms the mind. A Sattvic diet consists of pure food (not processed) that is light in potency, and rich in prana (life force). It energizes the body and mind. Cooked food, consumed within three to four hours of preparation, can be considered Sattvic.
Why adopt a Sattvic diet?
The intake of Sattvic food helps improve mental health and energy, thereby improving the state of your consciousness. It helps restore the harmony and balance of the body and mind. Having a Sattvic diet regularly can help in the formation and rebuilding of high-quality body tissues.
