7-Day Spiritual Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh

About this retreat

Mrityunjay Yogpeeth in Rishikesh offers this seven-day spiritual yoga retreat as a quiet, inward-looking week. The practices include Hatha yoga, chakra balancing, pranayama and energy breathing, daily mantra sadhana with japa meditation, guided meditation, yoga nidra and sound therapy. Evenings bring spiritual talks, and mornings begin with cleansing and mantra recital. Silence is part of the programme, and Sundays and holidays are kept for silence, nature walks or personal integration. Guests also join reflective workshops, Shatkarma purification, discussions of the Bhagavad Gita and yogic scriptures, and meditative walks to temples and sacred caves. The ashram is simple and clean, with private rooms with attached bathrooms, hot and cold water at all hours, a meditation space, a garden, a large yoga hall and limited Wi-Fi. Three sattvic vegetarian meals are served daily. Retreats start on Mondays through the year.
