7 Days in Rishikesh: A Yoga Retreat Guide

Rishikesh has drawn seekers to its banks for centuries. Nestled where the Ganges leaves the Himalayan foothills, it is known as the yoga capital of the world — and it is the first of our two retreat destinations in Northern India.

A day in the retreat

Our 7-day retreats follow a simple, time-tested rhythm: morning asana practice as the valley wakes, pranayama and meditation as the sun climbs, and the afternoon free for the river, the town and rest. Evenings close with meditation and reflection. The days are full without being rushed — retreat means stepping out of your schedule, not into a busier one.

Why Rishikesh

The setting itself is the teacher. The sound of the Ganges, the mountains on every horizon, and the centuries of practice tradition in the town create an atmosphere that supports stillness. For students who have practised in Germany, the retreat is a chance to experience the roots of the practice they love.

Who the retreat is for

The retreat is open to all levels. Beginners are welcome — postures are adapted with the same prop-based approach we use in Germany, and the group size stays small enough for personal attention.
