Rishikesh, Uttarakhand Yoga Capital of the World
Yoga and Meditation Retreat in India
Four retreats, one intention: an authentic yoga and meditation retreat in Rishikesh, India, on the banks of the Ganga. Choose Yoga & Healing, Ashtanga, Pranayama or Yoga Nidra — each rooted in 26+ years of lineage-based teaching at Tattvaa Yogashala.
An Invitation to Pause
India remains the one place in the world where yoga is not an imported wellness trend but a living, unbroken tradition. Choosing a yoga and meditation retreat in India means practising where the discipline actually originated — passed from teacher to student for generations, rather than reconstructed from a studio manual abroad.
Within India, Rishikesh holds a particular place as the “Yoga Capital of the World,” sitting where the Ganga leaves the Himalayan foothills and enters the plains. A yoga and meditation retreat in Rishikesh, India lets you practise on the same ghats where sages have taught for over a century, with the mountains and the river as a constant backdrop.
At Tattvaa Yogashala, this national and local heritage comes together in four focused retreats — Yoga & Healing, Ashtanga, Pranayama and Yoga Nidra — so you can choose the depth and direction that matches what you actually need right now.
Four Retreats, One Intention
Each retreat shares the same Tattvaa spirit — sattvic meals, a quiet Ganga-side campus, senior in-house teachers — while offering its own focused experience.

Questions & Answers
The questions students ask most before booking — how the four retreats differ, what the fee covers, and how far ahead to reserve a place.
The Yoga & Healing Retreat centres on daily Hatha yoga, pranayama, yoga nidra and philosophy. The Ashtanga Retreat is seven days of Led and Mysore-style practice with alignment and adjustments. The Pranayama Retreat works through the breath and its relationship with the mind. The Yoga Nidra Retreat is built around conscious rest and inner silence. All four include accommodation and sattvic meals at the same Rishikesh campus.
Most first-time guests choose the Yoga & Healing Retreat, since it offers the broadest daily rhythm of asana, breathwork and meditation without asking for a specific focus.
Many students extend their stay and move between retreats — for example, a Yoga & Healing Retreat followed by a shorter Ashtanga Retreat. Share your interest when you send an enquiry and the team will suggest a combined schedule.
Guided meditation is part of every retreat at Tattvaa Yogashala, alongside each one’s own practices such as Mysore-style Ashtanga, pranayama or yoga nidra.
Booking 6–8 weeks ahead is recommended, especially for the September–November and March–May seasons when batches fill quickly; a partial deposit secures your dates.
It is built as a spiritual retreat in India rooted in yogic philosophy and lineage-based teaching, though the daily rhythm of rest, sattvic food and gentle practice also delivers the benefits of a wellness break.
