Step into the spiritual heart of the Himalayas for seven days of authentic ashram living in Rishikesh — where ancient ritual, yoga, devotion, and sacred sound become part of daily life.
Set above the banks of the holy Ma Ganga, this intimate retreat offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the noise of modern life and immerse yourself in the living traditions of India. From sunrise temple practices and Ganga ceremonies to healing sessions, pilgrimage, and deep rest, each day is designed to support inner transformation and spiritual connection.
Alongside our ashram experience, we will also have the opportunity to attend part of the world-renowned International Yoga Festival and soak in the devotional energy of Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga.

Throughout the week, we will explore the wisdom traditions of yoga and Ayurveda not only as practices, but as a way of being — learning how to bring greater balance, awareness, and devotion into everyday life.
