(Geen beschikbaarheid) 15-Daagse Ashram Leven Yoga Retraite in Rishikesh, India
India Ashram Yoga Retreat
According to the scripture, yoga and meditation are not separate, but have the same roots and systems. Yoga treats the physical body, while meditation is the source of the mind. The meaning of retreat is a period of group withdrawal for prayer, meditation, or study, all of which are essential elements when considering that only a healthy person can reach the goal of yoga. Learning Yoga at Avdhoot Yog Peeth Rishikesh is truly a life changing experience because Avdhoot Yog Peeth is one of the few Yog Peeth left in Rishikesh which have remained faithful to their roots of simplicity, selfless service and devotion.

Retreat locatie
Shri Avdhoot Yog Peeth is situated in Rishikesh on the banks of holy Ganga and in the foothills of the Himalayas. It is an ideal and tranquil setting for spiritual practice. The sounds of nearby temple bells and devotional songs are carried on by the morning and evening breezes, mingling with birdsong, and augmenting the peaceful and contemplative atmosphere of the ashram.
Ashram gardens
The ashram is kept very green and boasts three gardens which have a wide variety of flowers, fruit trees, and vegetables. Plans are to start organic farming which will be used in the food preparation process at the ashram.
Lord Shiva temple
The ashram premises host a Shiva temple where morning puja is performed along with Aarti in both morning and evening hours with mantras.
Terrace
Sometimes, yoga sessions are also conducted on the ashram terrace which provides a scenic view of the Himalayas. The cool air coming from the Ganges and the Himalayas brings a lot of positivity and vital energy to the mind and soul. Doing pranayama (breathing exercises) in this open air environment fills your body with essential vital energy and boosts the process of clensing and self repair.
Yoga and meditation hall
The ashram has two yoga halls. The first is a small carpeted hall which serves as yoga cum satsang hall. Here, individual and small group sessions are conducted on yoga and meditation. The second is a huge state-of-the-art yoga hall which is well lit and ventilated. It is generally used for teching yoga, yoga philosophy, and meditation to big groups.
