Experience the Essence of the Himalayas

Rishikesh, hailed as the Yoga Capital of the World, is the gateway to the Himalayas and a spiritual epicenter on the banks of the Ganges, steeped in a rich yogic heritage. The history of yoga and spiritual penance runs deep in this region – many ancient Indian legends have taken place here. Our serene, lush green Retreat property by the Ganges, nestled in the Himalayan foothills of Rishikesh, offers breathtaking views, serving as the backdrop for our courses and taking care of your accommodations, meals, and everything.

Unlocking the Power of the Himalayas

The Himalayas and the Ganges are considered deities in the Hindu pantheon, empowered to support spiritual practices. The adage “less is more” holds true here.

Guided by a Spiritual Luminary

Your journey begins with the Himalayan spiritual master Swami Rakesh, who has spent over three decades following the path of India’s ancient Yogis & Masters, learning the techniques of Yoga and Meditation. At a young age, he spent four winters of solitude in a remote cave deep in the Himalayas, overcoming fear and ego through extreme tests of survival and courage. Under the esteemed leadership of Swami Rakesh ji, a highly venerated Yoga Teacher & Master Healer, our centre embraces the timeless wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Rakesh ji’s revered Guru-Preceptor. It is Swami Rakesh ji’s humble dedication that has nurtured our institution into an internationally recognized hub for authentic spiritual practice.
