Yoga & Wellness Retreat, Rishikesh

The Yoga & Wellness Retreat at Tattvaa Yogashala in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, is a seven-day wellness retreat for people who want a week of yoga in the town long known as a home of the practice. It is offered in a private format and is open for applications, so it suits individual travellers who want a focused week rather than a full teacher training.

Tattvaa Yogashala runs this retreat as part of a wider calendar of retreats and teacher trainings in Rishikesh. The week-long Yoga & Wellness Retreat returns in the early days of most months, which makes it one of the more accessible ways to spend time at the school if you cannot commit to a multi-week course.

What to Expect

The retreat lasts seven days. It sits alongside the school's other Rishikesh retreats, which include a longer Yoga Nidra Healing Retreat and an Ashtanga Yoga Retreat, each with its own character. This one is the general yoga and wellness week, a good fit if you are looking for a yoga retreat in Rishikesh without a specialised focus on one lineage or technique.

The school does not publish a day-by-day schedule for this retreat, so it is worth asking about session times and the daily rhythm when you apply.

The Setting

The retreat takes place at Tattvaa Yogashala in Rishikesh, in the state of Uttarakhand, northern India. The school also runs retreats and trainings at other locations, including Bali, Goa, Kerala and Nepal, but this week is held in Rishikesh itself.

Before You Go

The retreat is offered as a private program, and places are secured by applying through the school. The format is a short wellness week rather than a certification course, so there is no teacher training commitment attached to it. If you later want to go deeper, Tattvaa Yogashala also offers 100, 200, 300 and 500 hour yoga teacher trainings in Rishikesh, as well as Ashtanga-focused trainings.

Since the school lists specifics such as accommodation, meals and what to bring through its application process, ask about these when you apply so you can plan your travel to Rishikesh with confidence.
