3 Day Yoga Retreat
At Lotus Yoga Academy, our 3-day yoga retreat is not only a getaway, it's a gentle invitation to slow down, reconnect, and nourish your body, mind, and spirit in the sacred energy of Rishikesh. Each day follows a gentle rhythm, with enough structure to guide you—but enough space for you to simply be.
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for anyone who feels the need to pause, breathe, and reset. Whether you're brand new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this immersive experience is designed to support rest and inner clarity—not performance or pressure.
What to expect?
Over the three days, you’ll be guided through a gentle rhythm of daily yoga asana classes to support strength, flexibility, and release. Breathwork (pranayama) practices will help calm the mind and awaken your subtle energy, while guided meditations invite you into stillness and self-awareness. You’ll also enjoy philosophy talks rooted in traditional yogic wisdom, heart-opening kirtan and mantra chanting, and time in nature to simply be—surrounded by birdsong, fresh air, and silence that speaks volumes. The retreat is spaciously designed to support your own inward journey, without pressure or performance.
Why 3 days?
Sometimes all we need is a short pause to remember what really matters. This retreat is designed to be accessible—whether you're passing through Rishikesh, need a break from daily life, or simply want a taste of deeper yogic living.

7 Day Yoga Retreat
Our 7-day yoga retreat is a chance to step out of the fast pace of modern life and immerse yourself in the ancient wisdom of yoga. Whether you’re completely new to the practice or returning to deepen your connection, this week is about finding space—for breath, for stillness, and for self.
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is ideal for anyone looking to reset and recharge—from stressed-out professionals and overthinkers to devoted yogis wanting to reconnect with their practice. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to show up for yourself and soften into the present moment.
What to expect:
Over seven nourishing days, you’ll experience a balanced blend of movement and stillness. Each day includes yoga asana classes drawing from both Ashtanga and Yin traditions to support strength, flexibility, and deep release. You’ll also be guided through breathwork (pranayama), mindfulness meditation, and workshops that gently explore yogic lifestyle and philosophy. Group excursions offer a chance to soak up the sacredness of Rishikesh—from river dips and temple walks to mountain views and spontaneous chai chats. The pace is intentional: structured yet spacious, allowing time to rest, reflect, and simply be.
Why 7 days?
A full week gives your nervous system time to soften and settle. It offers space for deeper practice, for real rest, and for meaningful shifts to unfold. Many guests arrive tired and overwhelmed—and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply inspired.

14 Day Yoga Retreat
Our 14-day retreat is an invitation to fully immerse yourself in the sacred teachings of yoga—beyond the surface, beyond the schedule. This is an enriching extension of our 7-day program, offering more time to explore, expand, and embody your practice in the heart of Rishikesh.
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for those ready to dive a little deeper—whether you're continuing from the 7-day retreat or joining us for a full two-week journey. It’s ideal for anyone craving more space for personal growth, spiritual reflection, and dedicated self-care. No matter your experience level, if you feel called to explore the heart of yoga, this retreat is for you.
What to expect:
Across 14 days, you’ll move through a thoughtfully layered journey that supports both physical vitality and inner stillness. Daily yoga asana sessions blend Ashtanga and Yin styles, helping you release tension and strengthen the body in a sustainable way. You’ll deepen your experience with breathwork (pranayama), meditation, and philosophy discussions that go beyond the classroom and into your daily life. Extended time allows for more meaningful integration, personal reflection, and exploration—both within and out in the beauty of Rishikesh through group excursions and shared moments in nature. This retreat is less about doing more and more about being—with presence, intention, and openness.
Why 14 days?
Two weeks allows for real transformation to unfold. You’ll notice not only a shift in your physical practice, but also a deeper sense of emotional clarity, mental calm, and spiritual connection. The extra time helps create new patterns—ones rooted in awareness, balance, and peace. Many guests tell us the second week is when everything begins to truly land.
