Location
Rishikesh is known to be the ancient centre of the Yoga tradition & holds the title of ‘Yoga capital of the world’. A ‘rishi’ is a master of the senses, a highly realised yogi & the name Rishikesh literally translates as ‘land of the rishis’. This is a place of indescribable beauty & is considered in India a place of pilgrimage. People travel to Rishikesh from all over the world in search of spiritual realisation & to receive the blessings of the sacred Ganges river. A must visit destination for anyone who considers themselves a Yogi.
We have uncovered the most beautiful retreat centre, nestled in the mountains of the Rajaji national park, surrounded by forest & staffed by the sweetest, most caring locals. This is a true Yogic paradise, dedicated to fostering the ultimate experience of Yoga.
