7-Day Inner Balance Ayurveda Retreat in Rishikesh

About this retreat

Ayurveda, whose name means the Knowledge of Life, is joined here with yoga, meditation, a traditional yogic way of living and sattvic food.

The day also holds yoga therapy and meditation, a doctor's consultation, rest, and an evening yoga session or excursion. Meals are vegetarian.
