About The Retreat
This trip
commences from New Delhi with your pickup from the International
Airport (for foreigners) and Delhi, Noida (for our studio
students and guests), ends with your drop back. New Delhi/Noida
- Rishikesh - New Delhi/Noida.
The retreat is designed as an uplifting and enjoyable 4 days
experience with the hope that you will carry away practical
tools for continuing personal growth, health and spiritual
well-being in daily life.
Designed for those interested in learning the rich spiritual
traditions of India, the program includes Yoga exercises,
breathing techniques, contemplative walks and
discourses to promote the integrated health of body, mind and
spirit.
Opportunities are also provided for participants to benefit from
quiet relaxation amidst the Ashram flower gardens, surrounding
forests and the caressing sounds of the river Ganges in the
background. Bathing in the pristine river by the nearby river
beaches is a popular Retreat activity.
During free time, participants are also encouraged to meet with
the experienced teachers from Hatha and Asthanga Yoga Traditions
for spiritual guidance.
You will take back with you these rich YOGA teachings that will
help you incorporate them in your daily life thereafter.
Accommodation
Each participant will be
housed in a private room and provided with three tasty,
plentiful vegetarian meals. A mini-kitchen is available for use
by those wishing to prepare, snacks or beverages.
However, please note that the rooms are extremely basic, similar
to what you would find in a rural setting. Bedding is provided
but there are no private bathrooms - only common facilities are
available. So, if you are looking for luxurious rooms, this is
not for you.
The Ashram stay is basic. Some of our clients have even
described their Ashram stay as a culture shock. Even though the
rooms have basic facilities including beddings and blankets,
however, please do not expect a 5-star reception or welcome
here. This is NOT a hotel and for the most part you will have to
find your way around; of course, the Theyogaguru team will
always be only a simple phone call away.
If you are considering the Ashram Holiday, knowing more about
the Ashram experience will be a definite advantage.
But the setting amidst nature
with the constant sounds of the river rushing alongside more
than makes up for this extra-basic accommodation.
You are free to pick herbs
and lemons from the Ashram to prepare your tea. Moreover, milk
and tea leaves can be provided upon request.
So, if you are a nature lover as well with Yoga as your natural
inclination, this is the place to be. You'll almost certainly
want to extend your visit.
The natural setting will rejuvenate, revitalize and renew.
