These four days of yoga retreat will surely bring the participants very close to help each other in navigating their inner potential.
A yoga retreat is a break, a vacation from daily life, wherein you gain and enjoy at the same time. Enjoy the beauty of the city and gain knowledge of the divinity. The yoga city of Rishikesh and the divinity there are the perfect combination for a yoga retreat.
Close your eyes and move to your imagination. Imagine clouds touching the peaks of the mountains and below, the turbulent flow of the river purifies the land, and you are standing in between, witnessing all these, not from the eyes but from the soul, experiencing all these beautiful elements, not from the body but from the heart.
This incredible imagination can be true with just a short program.
This journey will help yoga students to improve their spontaneous ability to flow with rapid changes in life. It will make them strong enough to deal with any situation. They can immerse themselves fully in this retreat and dive into the depths of their true being.
During the retreat, you are going to enjoy countless things like daily yoga sessions, meditation practice, a Himalayan trip, use of the in-house library, and awareness expansion, as well as lectures and Satsang sessions. So, pack your bags and make your imagination come true over four days of a transformational yoga retreat in Rishikesh.

Retreat location
The entire vibe and energy of Rishikesh is apt for wholesome transformations through yoga. The town is blessed with abundant natural beauty as it is settled at the foothills of the great Himalayas.
The Rishikesh Yoga Association campus is situated in the Tapovan area, which is the most prime location to practice yoga in Rishikesh. Surrounded by lush green trees, the fresh breeze coming straight from the mountains is in itself a dose of positive energy.
What makes Rishikesh the best place for yoga is the presence of the Holy River Ganges flowing right through its heart. When the whole ambiance is so pure and revitalizing, the yogic journey becomes even more fruitful.
The school offers the best views of the Himalayan mountains, and the majestic Ganges is just walking distance from the school, thus taking you a step closer to nature during your yoga retreat in Rishikesh. You might even spot some beautiful birds and animals like cows or squirrels around the school, giving you an experience of harmony and peaceful coexistence.
Alongside impeccable training, the staff at Rishikesh Yoga Association is dedicated to providing all the students with a comfortable and enjoyable stay. From rooms to food, the staff takes care of everything as if for a family.

Food
Yoga is about bringing a positive change in your body and mind, thereby bringing an overall transformation. Yoga is not just limited to the yoga hall. It also extends to the dining table. Hence, it is important to maintain a healthy diet.
At Rishikesh Yoga Association, they serve a sattvic diet to the yoga retreat participants. The sattvic diet, which includes vegetables, fruits, etc., is considered to be the best diet to keep a light and healthy body. Food that tends to make one’s body either too lethargic or hyperactive is avoided.
Rishikesh Yoga Association makes sure that the kitchen area and the food are clean and hygienic. Also, the food is freshly prepared for immediate consumption because it gives the best results. Consuming the sattvic diet for a few days will automatically satiate your body's needs, and your body won’t crave any unhealthy food.
Along with the food, it is also important to keep a check on the time that you consume it. The classes and the food breaks are so scheduled that the food benefits you the most.
Rishikesh Yoga Association also keeps in mind if any student is allergic to any specific food ingredient. In such a scenario, the student can approach the staff to inform them about their allergy. The staff is kind enough to prepare a separate meal for such students.
