Ever since the Beatles rocked up at the ashram of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the late ’60s, Rishikesh has become a magnet for spiritual seekers from around the planet. Today it styles itself as the “Yoga Capital of the World” – with serious justification – as there are masses of ashrams and all kinds of yoga and meditation classes. Most of this action is north of the main town of Rishikesh, in Ram Jhula and Luxman Jhula where the cold fast-flowing Ganges or Ganga, surrounded by forested hills and peaceful riverbanks, is conducive to meditation. In the evening, the cold wind blows strongly down the valley, setting temple bells ringing as sadhus (spiritual men), pilgrims and tourists prepare for the nightly traditional Ganga Aarti ceremony.
Rishikesh is very New Age. You can learn to play the sitar or tabla, try all kinds of yoga including laughing yoga, learn Reiki, practice humming or gong meditation, experience crystal healing and all styles of massage. You may have a go at chanting mantras. You will listen to spiritually uplifting CDs as you sip Ayurvedic tea or the famous hot ginger lemon tea with your vegetarian meals. You may want to try rafting on the Ganga or drive 45 mn to enjoy one impressive view of the Himalayas!!
We would like to invite you to join us for a memorable and friendly and recharging retreat in the capital of Yoga! Please check the details of the programme here after.

Time to break away from the buzzling city of KL and immerse yourself into the peace and quiet of nature forest Bali. Yoga classes twice a day with Yang practice in the morning while Yin restorative in the evenings. All meals are vegetarian too. Fresh out from the farms in the mountains who lives amongst the area.
Sounds intriguing right! Join Chris and Phil for an adventure back to the nature like no other retreats before.
