Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh
Kundalini (Sanskrit: कà¥à¤£à¥à¤¡à¤²à¤¿à¤¨à¥€), refers to a form of primal energy located at the base of the spine. Kundalini is a latent power in the higher body. Kundalini awakening may happen through a variety of methods. Many systems of yoga focus on awakening Kundalini through Asana, Pranayama, Meditation and Mantras chanting.
This Kundalini Yoga Retreat program in Rishikesh emphasizes the practice of Pranayama, Kundalini Asana, Healing, Yin Energy Practice, Mantra chanting, Kirtans, Pranayama & Meditation. This slow-paced Kundalini retreat focuses on mindfulness and spiritual practices with the guidance of our Kundalini instructor team.
Participants learn to let go of distraction, strain and anxiety when they immerse into this carefully crafted program. The retreat also focuses on eating habits to improve overall physical and spiritual health, along with the foundations of yogic philosophy. For pre-arrival reading, Swami Vivekananda's Meditation and Its Methods is a free, short primer on the dhyana side of practice — useful background before the retreat begins.
“Source of all fears is death, know it before you die. That renders you fearless.” — Yogi Vishnu

For those willing to have complete rest and rejuvenation — let the Kundalini practice unwind tension built over months of daily life.
Relax through yogic practice after a long, busy and stressful life. This retreat can give you a real healing space after a break-up, illness or burnout.
Good for all levels of students, working professionals, business owners and senior citizens. No previous experience required — sincerity is the only prerequisite.
Look within you and you will find the greatest love. — Yogi Vishnu

Our ashram has air conditioning in the rooms. It is included or excluded depending on the package — an additional USD 25 applies for AC.
All our destinations are extremely safe. We are careful to pick locations that don’t present any threat. We would never organize a yoga retreat in a place we felt would present any danger. We constantly monitor the situation in all the countries we visit to make sure there is no danger.
