Rishikesh

India is known the world over for many things and one of these amazing things is Yoga which has its origin in this amazing country. Rishikesh is one of the places that are famed for having the best yoga schools in India and arguably the world over. It also is an ideal holiday destination which is so peaceful and conducive for relaxation. Combine this with fun holiday activities among them trekking on the scenic hilly terrain that is an amazing sight to behold, rafting on the curvy river below the Rishikesh Yog peeth or simply sightseeing.

One or two week stay

One has the option of a one or two week stay at the yoga Peeth which is a USA Yoga alliance registered school. The stay includes a free Ayurvedic massage and one gets to enjoy the amazing satvik food which is prepared with the sole purpose of growing you healthier and providing strength as you master the asana skills. This will help discover the peace from within as you lead the yoga way of life by following a routine that has been set by the art masters. This could be achieved by chanting and meditation. Another important advantage in Rishikesh is meditation on the banks of the river Ganga which is considered to be holy.

Amenities

The retreat in Rishikesh offers three meals a day, 1 ayurveda massage session per week stayed, a trek in the Himalayas and one gets a private room that has free Wi-Fi connectivity and has an attached bath. All this is for a mere USD 300 a week and for this reason one need to book way in advance as the places are taken up so fast.

Alternatives

Some of the other places / schools to choose from in Rishikesh include Mahatma Yoga Ashram, Laxman Jhula and the beach house.


Goa

Goa is another great place where one can also choose to go for intense study on Yoga or simply for a Yoga holiday. Just like Rishikesh, Goa also offers variety from which one can choose where to stay. There are many retreat centres in Goa that offer Ayurvidic treatments, holistic wellness and other natural therapies. These all have a wide range in the cost of the services offered.
