The Magic of Rishikesh

Long before yoga became known to the world, Rishikesh has been a sacred place for pilgrimage, sadhana (spiritual practice) and spiritual gatherings for all who seek self-discovery, spiritual development, a higher purpose in life or other variation of purposes on similar paths since ancient times.

This path has come to be known by the world today as “Yoga”.

Now, Rishikesh has become the world capital of yoga, bringing people of all races and background together.

Retreat Leaders and Yoga Styles on offer

This Retreat is led by Yoga Alliance Senior Yoga Teacher, Alison & Iyengar Yoga Teacher David Quinlan, owners of Namaste House Yoga School and experienced Indian Tour Guides.

The will be joined by Dr Harsh Agrawal B.A.M.S (bachelor of Ayurvedic medicine and surgery), plus a number of local teachers and experts.

There will be morning Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga practices. Afternoon Yin, Restorative and Nidra practices. Daily Ayurvedic & Wellness talks and interactive sessions, Alignment Workshops and hopefully extra surprises.

Chakrah Retreat Centre

Chakrah by Hermitage is a newly refurbished Retreat Centre, perfect for visiting groups with an experienced team.

Yoga takes place of the roof terrace or in the rooftop shala. A sattivc diet is served, vegan and vegetarian food to nourish and support your yoga practice.

Rishikesh is a place that is very special to Namaste House. Both Alison & David have spent time here teaching and learning yogic practices. Tapovan, is like their local neighbourhood in Rishikesh and you'll get a chance to meet some of their favourite people and experience the magic of India with experienced guides.

You'll stay at the newly refurbished Chakrah by Hermitage , a popular spot, offering spacious rooms with views of the mountains and surrounding areas.
