WHY RISHIKESH IS THE BEST PLACE FOR A RETREAT?

Rishikesh is the Yoga capital of the world, the place where the great saints and scholars came to further refine their learnings and experience their inner self. The place is filled with aura of such saints and sages, a few hours on the bank of river Ganga(Ganges) will rejuvenate your soul and the spiritual places of solitude will help your become ekkagra(focussed on your meditation). Rishikesh is a 100% vegetarian town with spirituality in the air, it has a legacy of thousands of years and our ashram is a testimony to it.

If you are looking for a retreat to enjoy and relax you can go to any part of the world, but if you looking for a place to rejuvenate your chitta(inner self), there is no better place than Rishikesh.

The students are expected to ensure that they also stick to the Achar-Rasayan and do not consume anything tamasic during the program to experience the intended changes during and after the Course.

We use traditional Yogic methods and discourage all apbhrans(Modified forms) of Yoga. The students must understand that the derived forms do not have a vedic(Ancient) scientific origin. They are great exercise forms but Yoga is beyond the physical self.

They can transfer their booking to another month or another student upto 15 days days from the date of start of the course.
