07 Days, 14 Days Yoga & Meditation Retreat in Rishikesh

Yoga is not a work-out, it is a work-in. And this is the point of spiritual practice; to make us teachable; to open up our hearts and focus our awareness so that we can know what we already know and be who we already are. — Rolf Gates

Yoga Retreat Session at Happy Yoga International, Rishikesh

Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh, India is an ancient philosophical thought that increases your physical, mental as well as spiritual well-being. It combines stylized body poses or Asanas with sophisticated breathing and meditation techniques. The term Yoga is itself derived from a Sanskrit word that means ‘union’ or joins together. The ultimate aim of yoga & meditation is to unite your body and mind with your soul. We mistakenly think that we are just our body and mind, and totally ignore our soul. Yoga breaks this long-held myth and helps you unite with your soul.

We offer an extensive Yoga retreat that will awaken your soul, and help you realize your true self. Amidst the silence and divinity of Himalayas, as well as the tranquillity of holy Ganges, we will take you on this exciting journey of self-discovery and exploration.
