Rishikesh

The Birthplace of Yoga

Situated in the foothills of the Himalayas along the sacred Ganges River, Rishikesh has been a centre for spiritual learning for thousands of years. Here, saints, sages, and seekers have meditated and taught across generations — making it one of the most revered destinations for yoga practice worldwide.

Why Rishikesh?

  • The pure energy of the Ganges creates an atmosphere of deep meditation and healing.

  • The town is filled with temples, ashrams, and spiritual gatherings.

  • Daily Ganga Aarti (river worship ceremony) offers moments of profound connection.

  • Opportunities for outdoor adventures—waterfalls, jungle walks, and Himalayan treks—enhance balance between nature and practice.

  • A peaceful environment perfect for self-reflection, far from urban distractions.
