Ideal for busy individuals seeking relaxation and mental rejuvenation. A gentle weekend to step away from the noise and return to yourself.

Every day blends traditional practice with rest — morning silence, Hatha yoga, guided meditation, sattvic meals and quiet time by the Ganga.

A weekend yoga retreat in Rishikesh, India

This short residential retreat is held at the Parasha ashram near Pushkar Mandir in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand — the town yogis have come to for generations, on the banks of the Ganga at the foothills of the Himalayas. Over two to three days you step out of schedules and screens and into a gentler rhythm: gentle Hatha yoga, guided meditation and pranayama, sattvic meals, and unhurried time by the river.

Who this weekend is for

Busy professionals, first-time visitors to an ashram, and anyone who needs a genuine pause. No yoga experience is required — every practice is taught gently and adapted to the group. If you have only a weekend and want it to actually restore you, this is the retreat to begin with. Ready for something deeper?
