This retreat will take place at the Triguna Yoga Center situated in Rishikesh, India. The holy city of Rishikesh, in the base of the Himalayas, holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for local Hindus. Sacred rivers and mountains set the scene for yoga and reflective hikes. Rishikesh is a world yoga capital and every year thousands of people come to Rishikesh to learn yoga and meditation. There are hundreds of temples and ashrams in Rishikesh. Dhyan Mandir ashram is located a couple of kilometres from Rishikesh away from all noise and traffic and close to the holy Ganga river.

During this course, you will be served three daily vegetarian yogic meals. A healthy and happy life depends on a healthy routine and a balanced diet. The food is carefully supervised and is prepared in a very natural and yogic manner while promoting the use of seasonal vegetables and fruits and avoiding all the artificially prepared edibles.

As there might be a slight difference in the local conditions from other places, students might find a couple of dishes on the menu unfamiliar, but no need to worry. The cooks will give their best efforts to prepare the food with utmost devotion and love which could cater to the needs of nourishment of all the layers of your personality.

Often the vegetarian food is vegan as well, and if not, there will always be vegan dishes available for the vegan students. Also, food allergies like dairy or gluten allergy Triguna Yoga can provide enough options to serve foods according to your needs.
