14-Day Wellness Retreat at Abhayaranya Rishikesh

Abhayaranya Yoga Ashram · Rishikesh, Uttarakhand

About this retreat

This 14-day, 13-night retreat at Abhayaranya Yoga Ashram in Rishikesh takes a whole-lifestyle view of weight. A team of yoga asana teachers, a nutritionist and an Ayurveda doctor work with you through the stay, with guidance based on your dosha. Every day has two yoga asana sessions, pranayama and meditation classes, morning yogic cleansing (Jalneti) with mantra chanting, and Ayurveda therapies advised by the doctor. Workshops or in-house activities run on some days. Three vegetarian meals are served daily, with special Ayurvedic meals as the doctor suggests. Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, follows the rhythms of nature, seasons and time of day. The retreat is meant to support healthier habits rather than quick fixes. Please speak with your doctor and with the centre first.
