Daily guided Hatha Vinyasa practices designed to mobilise the body, improve awareness and encourage mindful movement.
Step away from busy routines and give your body and mind four intentional days to slow down, recharge and reconnect.
The reset of heart and mind health needs only a short pause from a hustling routine. Making time for yourself in a different environment than usual is even more beneficial and can bring down the heaviness and blockages of the heart and the mind.
If you think you have been carrying mentally and physically a lot of emotions and that your body needs to release it, there is no better place than the World capital of Yoga- Rishikesh.
Rishikesh, India is the source of Yoga. The source always holds energy. The Himalayan Ranges are home to different important spiritual sites and ashrams where the seekers can travel time through meditative experiences. Being the World Capital of Yoga- Rishikesh gives an excellent opportunity to connect with your spiritual self and balance your chakras through yoga and pranayama.
At Himalayan Yoga Association in Rishikesh we take care of your time and have curated a four day detoxification retreat that covers all major aspects of preventive health-care and supports release of long term trauma and protection of the body and the mind from its after effects. A dedicated healing space gives you the option to heal through:
Our Detox Retreat enables holistic well-being experience. In rishikesh, you purify the body and mind through asanas, pranayama and meditation before you go deeper into connecting with the sound frequencies and healing at subtle levels. Rishikesh carries the correct geographical advantage of th himalayan valleys where sound echoes loud and clear with little disturbance from the noises a modern life may bring. Rishikesh also provides serene and peaceful natural views along the bank of Ganga that constantly promote healing of the body and the mind. Sound is the sign of life in the body - a cry being our first sign of life upon birth. All traditions in Indian culture hold sound as a form of worship of ceremonial drums, mantras and melodies.

the morning doors open to the breeze taking its tour of the school facility. Pool water waits in stillness for those who wish an early morning refreshing swim.

Rishikesh is the cradle of yoga and dedicated town of scholars mentioned in ancient hindu texts and known for spiritual progress. Sages and seers have come to the Himalayas for Self -Realization and rishikesh has been an important town of temples in ancient hindu literature. In the modern times, different gurus like Swami Sivananda, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, acknowledged its meditative field and have been instrumental in directing global seekers of yoga in the 19th century like the world famous Beatles Band from the 60’s and so on.
Your first day is intentionally gentle.
After arriving at Himalayan Yoga Association, settle into your private room and begin leaving behind your regular routine.
The objective of the first day is simply to give your nervous system and body time to adjust to a slower environment.
Your second day establishes the retreat rhythm through conscious breathing, movement, meditation and deep relaxation.
By the third day, the emphasis shifts from simply stepping away from your routine to becoming more aware of what kind of routine you would like to return to.
The retreat ends with another morning of mindful movement and meditation so you can carry some of the practices into everyday life.
Food plays an important role in the retreat experience.
Rather than following extreme detox diets, the emphasis is placed on fresh, vegetarian and thoughtfully prepared meals served within a structured daily schedule.
Our approach encourages:
Eggs are not part of the yogic diet served at Himalayan Yoga Association.
The yoga sessions during the Detox & Reset Retreat are not designed as an intensive teacher-training practice.
Instead, classes focus on mindful movement, breathing and awareness.
Sessions may include:
Beginners can participate comfortably, and more experienced practitioners can use the retreat as an opportunity to return to simplicity.
Modern life often provides very little quiet time.
Morning pranayama and meditation sessions give you an opportunity to begin each day without immediately returning to phones, work, messages or outside demands.
Practices may include:
You do not need previous meditation experience.
Sound healing offers a period of deep listening and stillness during the retreat.
During the session, therapeutic sounds and vibrations are used to create a calm environment where participants can rest comfortably and bring attention inward.
No previous sound healing experience is required.
Your retreat also includes a Reiki healing experience.
The session is intended as a gentle wellness practice where you can lie down, relax and experience a quieter period away from the activity of everyday life.
Reiki is offered as a complementary wellness experience and should not replace medical diagnosis or treatment.
Your Detox & Reset Retreat can also include traditional wellness therapies at Himalayan Yoga Spa, located within the Himalayan Yoga Association ecosystem.

The 4 Days / 3 Nights Detox & Reset Retreat in Rishikesh is suitable for beginners.
Teachers can provide appropriate guidance according to the experience level of participants.
If you already practise yoga regularly, the retreat can instead be used as an opportunity to slow down and reconnect with the foundations of your practice.

Our philosophy is simpler:
Four days cannot magically undo months or years of lifestyle habits.
But four intentional days can create the space needed to begin again with greater awareness.
