What Makes Our Retreats Different

Not a holiday — an immersive learning experience

Nestled in an ashram setting, every retreat combines traditional yogic wisdom with practical tools you can carry into daily life. Rather than temporarily escaping, you learn to live with greater awareness, peace and purpose.

Each day is carefully structured to help you experience genuine transformation through practice, study, silence and community.

Yoga retreats in Rishikesh, India — choosing your stay

Every Parasha retreat is residential, held at our ashram near Pushkar Mandir in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand — the birthplace of modern yoga, where the Ganga leaves the Himalayas. Choose by the time you have: the Weekend Wellness Retreat is a 2–3 day reset built around gentle Hatha yoga and digital detox; the 5-Day Inner Wellness Retreat adds cleansing practices and stress-management workshops; and the 7-Day Yogic Living Retreat is a complete immersion in the yogic daily routine. Practitioners called to teach can step further into the 200-hour Hatha & Vinyasa teacher training.

As a nonprofit foundation we publish our pricing openly — Indian and international rates are shown side by side at booking, deposits are modest, and there are no hidden charges. Most guests reach us in five to six hours by road from Delhi, or via Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport, 35 minutes away.
