"7 unforgettable days"

I spent 7 unforgettable days. The staff is exceptional: caring, attentive, and always available. The teachers are knowledgeable and ready to answer any question. The excursions allowed me to explore Rishikesh and appreciate its natural beauty; the Patna Waterfall will always have a special place in my heart. The food was delicious, not overly spicy, and perfectly suited for European guests. An added bonus was meeting wonderful people who, like me, had come to experience this journey. I would like to thank the staff again and I hope to return soon

"Over all expectations"

The teachers at yogi peeth we’re excellent! They teacher us so much both inside the yoga class and how to live outside it. In just 7 days we learned and improved so much. The excursions we’re also excellent, and very accomedating. A great thanks to Ritesh whom took care of us during our stay. He is a great guy, and super fun to go on excursions with. Hopefully we will be back for 1 month same time next year!

"Wonderful Retreat in Rishikesh "

We recently participated in a 4 day retreat here and it was wonderful. The staff and teachers were all very helpful and kind, and the classes were fun and challenging. It gave us the opportunity to try many new things beyond yoga as well (river rafting, waterfalls, sound healing, Kirtan), and the community of people here are tremendous - I highly recommend! They also helped us out when we had issues with our bus being canceled and had to figure out a new plan. The service is 10/10

"Great atmosphere "

Loved every minute of being there. Sumit abd Gaurav were fantastic. The daily excursions were a nice break away from yoga. The people at this retreat were all so friendly. For the first time since the pandemic I’ve experienced something of a community here.

"Wonderful Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh"

The yoga classes were intense but also a great introduction to classic yoga with fantastic and patient teachers. They gave excellent pointers and ideas to use while continuing my practice at home. I enjoyed the daily excursions, it was a great way to experience the nearby sites. I loved white water rafting and the Neer Falls hike/swim. I also found plenty of time to relax, reflect, and enjoy frequent walks along the river.

In der kleinen Yogaschule mitten in Topovan herrscht eine freundliche, familiäre Atmosphäre. Die Gastgeber sind sehr hilfsbereit, flexibel und spontan. Bei meinem 4-Tages retreat habe ich viel über unterschiedliche Yogastile gelernt. Die Yogastunden waren gut und intensiv. Die Teilnehmergruppe, anfangs ich alleine, dann zu viert- sehr persönlich. Das Essen abwechslungsreich und sehr lecker. Mein Zimmer (EZ), sauber und komfortabel. Die täglichen Ausflüge, einen hab ich allein mit einem der Lehrer gemacht,waren super, abwechslungsreich.

"Pleasant familylike stay"

They made me feel like being part of their family which was really nice. They were always available for us and the quality of the yoga, pranayama and meditation classes very high.

The yoga sessions were professional. The teacher took a lot of time for detail and corrected wrong postures.

The food was home made and very delicious.

Overall I felt very welcome and the people were kind and helpful. For example they drove me to the doctors office for free, which I really appreciated.

"Great stay"

Really lovely little find. Excellent value for money with the excursions. The food was lovely, but for me, at times it was a little heavy- breakfast. The yoga classes included theory behind them, which made you engage more with the practice. Full schedule, would reccomend if you are looking for something like this. Great location too, easy to jump on a Tuk Tuk into the town. Felt really safe in both the area and the accommodation.

Team also went above and beyond to make things happen, such as sunrise excursions.

"Relaxing and rejuvenating retreat "

Really great yoga sessions that taught us the correct postures and corrected our alignment. Meditation was excellent, we learnt new ways of meditating and it was really relaxing. Food was delicious, simple and filling and almost all vegan. Location was excellent for us and close enough for a Ganga dip each day!

The daily excursions were really fab too

"Great Place, GREAT people"

The location of Adi Yogpeeth is fantastic with views of the mountains. It is up on Tapovan Hill so is quieter and nice. The facilities were clean, functional, and the roof and deck were so relaxing. The only reason I gave four stars above is that the rooms are functional and comfortable, but not plush. But I have no complaints on the room or facilities. In addition, I had been traveling for a few weeks and had more than enough cold showers in places so the hot water in the shower felt amazing! The food was good and they were always asking if you had enough.

The instructors were incredibly nice and their instruction, adjustments, teaching of the background was all well above what I had expected. Plus they were extremely friendly. As a warning for 'beginners or low-moderates", yoga instruction and classes are way more intense than your average studio class in the US -- and exactly what I wanted.

The 'excursion' guide was outstanding, patient, enthusiastic, and again - so nice. I added on extra days and it was seamless. I highly recommended this place and these people. I am already planning a return visit to Rishikesh and this guest house/ yoga school specifically.

"No me formaría con ellos"

El hatha yoga que practican no es saludable para la columna vertebral.

Sin acondicionar adecuadamente la espalda hacen posturas de extensión directamente.

La sesión no estuvo bien estructurada, sin fundamento.

Les deseo lo mejor, pero este retiro no es para personas que amemos el yoga y hayamos practicado 10 años ya....

"Great time at time at the Rishikesh Retreat Center"

I had a great time at time at the Rishikesh Retreat Center. First I was a little bit shocked when I saw my Room due my western thinking. But after the first excursion every concern was gone. So don't expect luxurious and everything will be ok. The room is clean, has a western toilet and a hot shower.

The excursions were great on the first Day we visit the Beatles ashram. Second was a Waterfall and on the third day the famous Vasishta Cave.

I really liked The Lunch and Dinner which were tasty Indian food. The Breakfast was basic.

The yoga teacher had a great knowledge. Personally I didn't like the ashtanga class but that's like everything in life u like something or not :) The Meditation and pranayama classes by the teacher Mr. Avinash were outstanding. He is such a happy person and total devoted to shiva. He answered me so many questions especially about the Hindi god's.

At the end of the retreat they allowed me to stay a little bit longer, took me to another excursion and after that I got lunch with I wasn't expecting. Then they organised my transpiration. Many thanks for the extras.

"Above any expectations"

The whole retreat was perfectly organized - from the pick up at the airport, the daily program, to the organisation of the excursions. The three days were packed with yoga, meditation, pranayama and yogic food))

The whole team was extremely warm, welcoming, helpful and relaxed.

Despite different programs all the participants /students were very open and the whole place felt like a big family - eating together, joining some classes together, hanging out and exploring the surroundings.

I really liked my spacious room and the possibility to stay longer, as I really liked the place and the vibes!

Thank you so much, guys! I'll be back again.

"Erin from Wyoming, USA"

I was traveling in India and decided I needed to get out of the city, and came across this retreat. I didn’t know anything about it, but decided to book it and head north for the week. I absolutely loved every moment, every class, every meal, and most importantly, all of the people I met here. The food is healthy and filling, and obviously made with thought and care. The classes were challenging for me as a beginner to yoga, but the instructors were so helpful and always adjusting me so I learned to do the poses correctly. They all had great personalities and good sense of humor, and were so very kind. The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond helping me get to additional adventures (The Beatles Ashram!). I was really sad to leave the people here, and think I will be back for another retreat or maybe a teacher training. They had some other fun events too...henna and balky dancing! And it was all included! My room was very clean and nice, and the retreat center is located close to downtown and walking distance to a waterfall and The Ganges and shopping. I can’t say enough about how much I loved my time here!! I also found a friendly little cafe up the road (Kings Cafe) and loved the man working there, the chai and shakes, and the occasional live music. You will not make a mistake by choosing this retreat!
