The retreat
Where yoga was born, breathe again
The Himalayas have drawn seekers for thousands of years. This 7-day detoxifying yoga and meditation retreat brings you into that tradition: practising with lineage teachers in small groups, cleansing body and mind, and walking into the mountains that gave yoga its home.
Each day pairs asana and meditation with clean vegetarian food and time in nature. You will stay in a private room at our school in Rishikesh and spend nights at a mountain campsite, guided all the way by experienced teachers and trek leaders.
No previous experience is needed, only an open mind and a little readiness to walk.
Why the Himalayas

A retreat in the mountains is more than a change of view. It is a change of pace, of air and of attention.
Small batches
Lineage teachers and small groups mean personal attention in every class.
The Ganges banks
Practise beside the sacred Ganga in Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world.
People worldwide
Share the journey with like-minded travellers from every corner of the world.

Discover local culture, temples and sacred places on guided visits.
Faster results
